"There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser."
"Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics."
"Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics."
"Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron."
"Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists."
"It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top."
"Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle."
"Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it."
"In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons."
"The great weight of the ship may indeed prevent her from acquiring her greatest velocity; but when she has attained it, she will advance by her own intrinsic motion, without gaining any new degree of velocity, or lessening what she has acquired."
"Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light."
"Just the actual physics of putting it all together, you know, the latter period is actually quite fragmented in terms of the licenses and all those things so it makes a compilation of the full twenty years really a technical minefield."
"Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics."
"I do not keep up with the details of particle physics."
"If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it."
