“The laws of physics are the program, and the initial state of the universe is the input.”— Seth Lloyd
“The orthodox quantum theory is a recipe, a computational recipe, which has been fantastically successful.”— John Stewart Bell
“Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.”— Wernher von Braun
“The ability to perform quantum computation is a fundamental feature of the laws of physics.”— Seth Lloyd
“The pilot-wave picture has the great merit, in my opinion, that it is deterministic.”— John Stewart Bell
“We can now read the story of the stars. It is the story of a battle between two giant forces – gravitation and radiation.”— Henry Norris Russell
“It seems likely that the electron is, in a certain sense, a simple particle and not a complex structure.”— Carl David Anderson
“It is one thing to show that the Universe is described by a set of equations, but it is another to understand why those equations exist in the first place.”— John David Barrow
“The idea that there are 'systems' which are represented by state vectors, and 'apparatus' which are not, is surely something that we must grow out of.”— John Stewart Bell
“It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.”— Daniel Bernoulli
“Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.”— David Bohm
“Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.”— David Bohm
“I hold that in the physical world nothing else takes place but this variation of the curvature of space.”— William Kingdon Clifford
“A Bose-Einstein condensate is a new state of matter where atoms behave like a single superatom.”— Eric Allin Cornell
“What we've created is a group of atoms that are all in the same quantum state.”— Eric Allin Cornell
“The movement of the plane of oscillation of the pendulum is a real, mechanical, and visible proof of the rotation of the Earth.”— Léon Foucault
