“When you advance a frontier, you're doing something that no one has done before. Every time that happens, you have to innovate. You have to think in new ways that hadn't been thought before. You have to invent a new piece of hardware, a new concept, a new law of physics, a new material, a new construction material to enable you to accomplish what it is that you chose to reach for by dreaming about tomorrow.” ThinkingWayDoneDreamHappensLawPiecesMaterialsTomorrowConceptsAccomplishPhysicsConstructionNew WaysFrontiersHardwareLaws Of Physics Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence.” WholeHappensUniverseExistencePhysicsQuantumParticlesQuantum PhysicsFluctuation Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“No matter how much creativity goes into it, cooking is an art. Or perhaps I should say a craft. It abides by absolute rules, physics, chemistry, etc. and that means that unless you understand the science you cannot reach the art. We're not talking about painting here. Cooking's more like engineering. I happen to think that there is great beauty in great engineering.” ThinkingShouldMeanArtMatterHappensTalkingCreativityPaintingAbsolutesCookingPhysicsCraftsEtcChemistryEngineeringNot Talking Author:Alton Brown
“Is the purpose of theoretical physics to be no more than a cataloging of all the things that can happen when particles interact with each other and seperate? Or is it to be an understanding at a deeper level in which there are things that are not directly observable (as the underlying quantized fields are) but in terms of which we shall have a more fundamental understanding?” HappensPurposeUnderstandingTermLevelsFieldsFundamentalsDeeperPhysicsParticlesTheoreticalTheoretical Physics Book:Quantum Mechanics: Symbolism of Atomic Measurements Source: Quantum Mechanics: Symbolism of Atomic Measurements
“I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it.” MenHappensUniverseSidesBlackFictionStudyPossibilityPlanetsScience FictionVariousPhysicsHolesBlack HoleVortex Author:Wesley Snipes
