-Edward Witten "; Quotation[1] ="A technique succeeds in mathematical physics, not by a clever trick, or a happy accident, but because it expresses some aspect of a physical truth.
-Sutton"; Quotation[2] ="For whatever a man may do, he does it in order to annihilate time, in order to revoke it, and that revocation is called space.
-Hermann Broch"; Quotation[3] ="I do not like it, and I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
-Erwin Schrödinger, (speaking of quantum mechanics)."; Quotation[4] ="Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum mechanics cannot possibly have understood it.
-Niels Bohr"; Quotation[5] ="God does not play dice with the cosmos.
-Albert Einstein"; Quotation[6] ="Who are you to tell God what to do?
-Niels Bohr (in response to Einstein)"; Quotation[7] ="I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics.
-Richard Feynman"; Quotation[8] ="It's always fun to learn something new about quantum mechanics.
-Benjamin Schumacher"; Quotation[9] ="If that turns out to be true, I'll quit physics.
-Max von Laue, Nobel Laureate 1914, (of de Broglie's thesis on electrons having wave properties.)"; Quotation[10] ="Anyone wanting to discuss a quantum mechanical problem had better understand and learn to apply quantum mechanics to that problem.
-Willis Lamb, Nobel Laureate 1955"; Quotation[11] ="If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoudlers of giants.
-Isaac Newton"; Quotation[12] ="The theory appeared to me then, and still does, the greatest feat of human thinking about nature, the most amazing combination of philosophical penetration, physical intuition, and mathematical skill. But its connections with experience were slender. It appealed to me like a great work of art, to be enjoyed and admired from a distance.
-Max Born (speaking about General Relativity)"; Quotation[13] ="In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
-Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002)"; Quotation[14] ="It's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics. It's the things that nobody knows anything about we can discuss.
-Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)"; Quotation[15] ="It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
-Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944)"; Quotation[16] ="The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
-Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)"; Quotation[17] ="A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics.
-Werner Heisenberg, (Philosophical Problems of Nuclear Science, New York: Fawcett 1966, p.13)"; // ====================================== // Do not change anything below this line // ====================================== var Q = Quotation.length; var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*(Q-1)); function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation[whichQuotation]);}
