Which came first - the observer or the particle?

Virus particles contain single molecules of nucleic acid.

If experimenters have free will, then so do elementary particles.

If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.

No person having the least particle of Negro blood can hold the Priesthood

Once we were particles of Light, now we are Beings of Light, radiating Love.

Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.

Investigating the forces that hold the nuclear particles together was a long task.

I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected.

I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices whatsoever.

My work on black holes was on the connection between black holes and elementary particles.

Knowledge of the tallest scientist or the greatest spiritualist is like a particle of dust.

All the particles that we are made of only account for about four per cent of the cosmic inventory.

Subatomic particles do not just sit around being subatomic particles. They are beehives of activity.

A nation is a thing that lives and acts like a man and men are the particles of which it is composed.

When I received my B. S. degree in 1932, only two of the fundamental particles of physics were known.

Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.

God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.

Physical studies of DNA had, of course, been under way for some years before analysis of virus particles began.

Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle; but take the whole universe as one.

The particle and the planet are subject to the same laws and what is learned of one will be known of the other.

Great marriages are like the Higgs Boson particle, its existence has been theorized, but no one has ever seen one.

We know that if supersymmetric particles exist, they must be very heavy; otherwise we would have spotted them by now.

I was already studying physics, but Sputnik steered me toward space, cosmology, the Big Bang, and elementary particles.

What are we to fear when the Lord is with us? Can we not take the Lord at his word and exercise a particle of faith in him?

I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

When you trace a particle back to its origins, you find that it's nothing but pure energy. All of us come from this energy field.

There is nothing real about film. Nothing. Even the light particles that project the film can't be proven to exist. Nothing is there.

There is no doubt that radium is transformed spontaneously into an active gas, radon, emitting at the same time alpha particles, or helions.

Human beings are creators, flinging powerful images into the minds of their fellow men. And all of these images are built of tiny particles of thought.

Particles were coming out of the lithium, hitting the screen, and producing scintillations. They looked like stars suddenly appearing and disappearing.

Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can't even measure them.

We seem gradually to be groping toward an understanding of the world of subatomic particles, but we really do not know how far we have yet to go in this task.

The minute those two little particles inside a woman's womb have joined together, billions of decisions have been made. A thing like that has to come from entropy.

A linear accelerator has the advantage that no magnet is required and that its cost should not rise much more steeply than with the energy of the particles required.

People want to know about what's going on with what's in the universe, what are particles like, what are the basic rules of nature. It's a lot of curiosity out there.

Sunspots are hubs of intense magnetic activity and they trigger solar flares that launch charged particles, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation and radio waves at the Earth.

We converse as we live by repeating, by combining and recombining a few elements over and over again just as nature does when of elementary particles it builds a world.

There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but one-dimensional objects, that is, strings.

My interest in matters more directly concerned with the handling of particles was growing, in the meantime, stimulated by many contacts with people understanding accelerators.

You have that one basic string, but it can vibrate in many ways. But we're trying to get a lot of particles because experimental physicists have discovered a lot of particles.

My work indicated that if we consider smaller and smaller black holes, at some stage, the properties of black holes become indistinguishable from those of elementary particles.

My novels tend to come about from a fusion of two big ideas, creating a critical mass that then fissions, throwing off hundreds of other particles, riffs, tropes and characters.

If the Big Bang is true, that means everything that came out of it, all of the particles, all of us, there is a scientific force that connects it all that we don't really know about.

What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.

The discovery that light elements could be disintegrated by artificially accelerated particles gave an additional impetus to development work on the various methods of producing them.

Having those extra dimensions and therefore many ways the string can vibrate in many different directions turns out to be the key to being able to describe all the particles that we see.

The particular features of the photographic method of detecting atomic particles enabled us to establish the existence of transient forms of matter which had escaped recognition by other methods.

We know so much about planets and the universe and small particles and we do not know anything about the inner state of our own bodies, we do not know about this microcosm we have inside our skin.
