Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.
Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.
Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is.
There are no excuses for theoretical physicists not to perform and deliver.
Physicists analyze systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems.
I have more nuclear physicists living in my district than in any other district.
Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may or may not solve it.
I used to say I represented 33% of the strategic reserve of physicists in Congress.
I have a theory that evolutionary biologists are more vain than particle physicists.
There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958.
Physicists must feel they are in the most exciting field in the world. Their minds must be afire.
Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know.
Energy is a concept that has been coined by physicists. There is no observable thing known as energy anywhere.
The biggest conceptual change over the last 100 years in the way physicists think about the world is symmetry.
There is an almost universal experience in physicists, at least of my generation, which is home-made pyrotechnics.
Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people's progress.
Apparently, some physicists argue that time is curved. I suppose this means that the past is in some way still present.
At the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, we have long had a tradition of close cooperation between physicists and technicians.
In subjects that physicists think of as purely quantum, classical ideas and classical computational techniques can often be powerful.
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
When I took office, only high energy physicists had ever heard of what is called the Worldwide Web... Now even my cat has its own page.
Bohr's influence on the physics and the physicists of our century was stronger than that of anyone else, even than that of Albert Einstein.
Among physicists and chemists, cold fusion - nuclear fusion at close to room temperature - enjoys a reputation about on par with creationism.
Most physicists like myself won't believe the result until every possible caveat has been investigated and/or the result is confirmed elsewhere.
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world.
Female physicists, astronomers and mathematicians are up against more than 2,000 years of convention that has long portrayed these fields as inherently male.
When I was 28 years old, I found myself in Schenectady, New York, where I discovered that it was possible for some people to make a good living as physicists.
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!
Most of physics is about energy, and physicists understand inefficiencies. I wanted to write a book about our energy options in a neutral, human-accessible form.
Physicists and mathematicians regularly invade other fields but other fields do not invade theirs so we can see which fields are hardest for very talented people.
Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity does to physicists.
Art is based on very clear, mathematical principles like proportion and harmony. At the same time, physicists need to be inventive, to have ideas, to have some fantasy.
Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students.
There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that physicists understand it better than I do.
We physicists know that a beautiful postulate is more likely to be correct than an ugly one. Why not adopt this Postulate of Eternal Life, at least as a working hypothesis?
Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity?
The weapons were conceived and created by a small band of physicists and chemists; they remain a cataclysmic threat to the whole of human society and the natural environment.
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.
In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel.
The financial sector has so distorted salaries that physicists are getting drawn into the financial sector. All that has led to an undersupply of people committed to the public sector.
In England and the United States, where physicists have at their disposal equipment of very high voltages, several new elements were prepared using protons and deuterons as projectiles.
With the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics.
The ability to work together has to be in the blood of particle physicists. They learn very early on that it is impossible to advance on one's own and that constant exchange is necessary.
I was raised on technology. I grew up in Livermore, California, a town of physicists and cowboys. My parents worked at the government laboratories there. So technology was very normal for me.
