I thought physics could be done to the glory of God, till I saw there wasn't any God at all and that physics was more interesting anyway. The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake, that's all. (Philip Pullman, "The Amber Spyglass") >> More Philip Pullman Quotations...
The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model. (Erwin Schrodinger) >> More Erwin Schrodinger Quotations...
Wireless carriers, they have a proud history of working with local communities and trying to meet their wireless needs, and also their wishes about where would be best to put infrastructure. That is a tough challenge. People will say we want wireless service but we don't want those towers, but the laws of physics don't allow you to have it both ways. (Joe Farren) >> More Joe Farren Quotations...
Last summer we received a phone call from the Department of Justice requesting medals commemorating the fallen police officers and firefighters who died trying to rescue people during the 911 attacks. We did that order in record time. They know they can come to us and get high quality awards in the shortest time you can expect - but sometimes physics does limit some things.

The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man. (Albert Einstein) >> More Albert Einstein Quotations...
Cosmology, nuclear physics, I do try to keep up on. They get more complex, and then some of the old theories just don't work out. (Frederik Pohl) >> More Frederik Pohl Quotations...
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with. (David Chalmers) >> More David Chalmers Quotations...
