“An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature, and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.”
“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery we are trying to solve.”
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
“A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.”
“There is no matter as such. All matter arises from and is sustained by a force that acts upon it.”
“Religion belongs to the realm that is inviolable before the law of causation and therefore, closed to science.”
“In the great drama of existence we are both actors and spectators.”
“The task of science is to extend the range of our experience and to reduce it to order.”
“New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher.”
“The quantum theory arose out of the need to explain experimental observations that defied classical physics.”
“Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: ‘Ye must have faith.'”
“Science enhances the moral values of life because it furthers a love of truth and reverence.”
“We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
“Wherever you see motion in the world, there must be mind.”
“The universe is a stage on which the great cosmic drama of life unfolds.”
“The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that the will of the majority is not always the expression of the rational mind.”
“The matrix of matter lies in the quantum world.”
“The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry.”
“In physics, the concept of reality is not derived from direct observation but from the totality of our knowledge.”
“In the scientific view, the laws of nature are inviolable and universal.”
“The structure of the atom demonstrates the unity of the forces of nature.”
“The goal of science is to grasp the interconnectedness of nature.”
“The mysteries of the quantum realm reveal the boundless ingenuity of the universe.”
“We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.”
“The observer’s consciousness cannot be separated from the phenomena being observed.”
“As a physicist who has devoted his life to rational science, I must confess that the first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass, God is waiting for you.”
“The quantum mechanics question the very nature of existence and reality.”
“Truth never triumphs—its opponents just die out.”
“It is not the possession of knowledge but the quest for it that gives science its greatness.”
“Every step in the progress of science has led to greater freedom in the interpretation of phenomena.”
“Science advances one funeral at a time.”
“All scientific work is based on a faith that the universe is governed by laws that can be discovered.”
“Even in science, the quest for knowledge begins with a leap of faith.”
“The ultimate aim of physics is to discover the one principle that unifies all phenomena in the cosmos.”
“The smallest units of matter are not physical objects in the ordinary sense; they are forms of energy.”
“We do not know where we came from, but we are certain of one thing: we are here to understand.”
“The universe is an infinite symphony of interacting forces.”
“The act of observation changes the observed.”
“We are more than mere spectators in the universe; we are its interpreters.”
“The eternal mystery of the universe is its comprehensibility.”
“The very foundation of the scientific method lies in the belief in the order of the universe.”
“The wonders of nature lead us to a profound appreciation for existence.”
“Physical laws are eternal truths; they govern not just the stars but the smallest particles of matter.”
“The field of quantum mechanics demonstrates the limits of classical physics.”
“In the pursuit of truth, one must question, doubt, and imagine the impossible.”
“The principles of causality are cornerstones of scientific thought.”
“Quantum mechanics is a reminder that reality is stranger than we can imagine.”
“Human curiosity is the driving force behind all scientific discovery.”
“The interplay of matter and energy reveals the elegant harmony of nature.”
