Particle Wave Quotes

#1. No phenomenon directly involving a frequency has yet been detected above approximately 10^12 cycles per second. We only deduce the higher frequencies from the energy of the particles, by a rule which assumes that the particle-wave idea of quantum mechanics is valid.

Richard Feynman

#2. Individuals make history, but it's also a collective thing, a wave that people ride in their time, a wave made of individual actions. So ultimately history is another particle/wave duality that no one can parse or understand.

Kim Stanley Robinson

#3. The dividing line between the wave or particle nature of matter and radiation is the moment "Now." As this moment steadily advances through time it coagulates a wavy future into a particle past.

William Lawrence Bragg

#4. Let me repeat: Observe a particle as a wave, and it is a wave. Observe it as matter, and it is matter ... Thus it is our point of view, the way we look at reality that makes reality the way it is.

Joachim-Ernst Berendt

#5. Never marry a person less educated than you. You, not only degrade yourself but also your kids will suffer whole life.

Himmilicious

#6. But dividing the mind into "biological" and "psychological" is as fallacious as classifying light as a particle or a wave. The natural world makes no promise to align itself with preconceptions that humans find parsimonious or convenient. (167)

Thomas Lewis

#7. The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that are at the root of the information society.

Alain Aspect

#8. The troubles came and I saved what I could save. A thread of light, a particle, a wave.

Leonard Cohen

#9. The proton in the nucleus cannot make a wave by particle motion.

Mark Fennell

#10. Verbally there is very general agreement; for both the general run of men and people of superior refinement say that it is happiness, and identify living well and doing well with being happy; but with regard to what happiness is they differ, and the many do not give the same account as the wise.

Aristotle.

#11. Is Shimmer a floor wax or a dessert topping? Is an electron a wave or a particle? Slipstream tells us that the answer is yes.

John Kessel

#12. I should have forfeited my own self-respect, and perhaps the good opinion of my countrymen, if I had failed to resent such an injury by calling the offender in question to a personal account.

Preston Brooks

#13. If Feynman could see beauty as the inspiration for the theory of the rainbow, and if an electron could behave like a wave, and light like a particle, then the little contradiction of Leonard flitting among different subfields of physics, or even among varied careers, would not shake the universe.

Anonymous

#14. Love was actually more like calculus or physics. What was the half-life of love? Did it have cosigns and slopes, or quarks that morphed from wave to particle faster than you could say, please don't leave?

Trebor Healey

#15. Matter can simultaneously be defined as a solid (particle) and as an immaterial force field (wave).

Bruce H. Lipton

#16. It's good to know wave and particle alpha code, but more than that, the writer must go to the heart of life ...

John Geddes

#17. I wrote my epitaph: He started out a particle and ended up a wave.

Alan Arkin

#18. We are a manifestation that we perpetuate through space-time. Death is the ceasing of the observation of it whether by direct or indirect influence.

Solange Nicole

#19. Like the very quantum particles we study, we must be comfortable allowing our view of the world to exist in superposition.

Kevin Michel

#20. Society is a wave. The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not. The same particle does not rise from the valley to the ridge. Its unity is only phenomenal. The persons who make up a nation to-day, next year die, and their experience with them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

#21. Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox ... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together.

Joan Jett

#22. All chance, direction, which thou canst not see

Alexander Pope

#23. Did I ever think at the time, when I was with the Alouettes and the Chicago Blitz, that I would be head-coaching a team in the Super Bowl? It would be hard to believe. Is it a dream come true? Yes.

Marv Levy

#24. What appears to us solid is ultimately both a particle and a wavelength, and on that realm everything behaves as both a particle and a wave.

Vanna Bonta

#25. I hope you discover that love is both a feeling and an action, like light is both a particle and a wave.

Iain S. Thomas

#26. You are all wave particles when I close my eyes. I am no more entranced by your entanglement than a butterfly is to a bee.

Solange Nicole

#27. White is fearful to gaze upon for too long: it is the color of shrouds; it is all-color, the prism fused, undifferentiated, linked wave to wave and particle to particle.

Chaim Potok

#28. We cannot make peace with people who are not peaceful with innocent creatures.

M.F. Moonzajer

#29. She walked to the door and looked at him with an affection that was at once hopeful and melancholic. Like light was both particle and wave.

Manu Joseph

#30. We need to make sure parents and coaches are aware of the dangers an on the look-out for the warning signs. Performance enhancing drugs are too damaging to young people for parents and coaches to not be involved.

Chuck Grassley

#31. I'll either make it or I wont:
But I'm sure gonna try

Michelle Geaney
