Quantum Field Quotes

#1. Quantum field theory, which was born just fifty years ago from the marriage of quantum mechanics with relativity, is a beautiful but not very robust child.

Steven Weinberg

#2. Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation.

David Gross

#3. Quantum field theory arose out of our need to describe the ephemeral nature of life.

Anthony Zee

#4. I wouldn't have thought that a wrong theory should lead us to understand better the ordinary quantum field theories or to have new insights about the quantum states of black holes.

Edward Witten

#5. I had set out to disprove quantum field theory - and the opposite occurred! I was shocked.

David Gross

#6. When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force.

David Gross

#7. The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.

Martin Fleischmann

#8. Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking.

Nathan Myhrvold

#9. According to quantum field theory, fields alone are real. They are the substance of the universe and not 'matter'. Matter is simply the momentary manifestation of interacting fields which, intangible and insubstantial as they are, are the only real things in the universe.

Gary Zukav

#10. Don't fight against what you don't want, instead stand for the spiritual qualities you would like to manifest in your life and watch how the universe rushes to flesh out your intentions as new life experiences.

Chaz Day

#11. Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnet ic field of possibility or potential

Deepak Chopra

#12. The field of quantum valence fluctuations was another older interest which became much more active during this period, partly as a consequence of my own efforts.

Philip Warren Anderson

#13. There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.'

Wolfgang Pauli

#14. And a new philosophy emerged called quantum physics, which suggest that the individual's function is to inform and be informed. You really exist only when you're in a field sharing and exchanging information. You create the realities you inhabit.

Timothy Leary

#15. Beauty is wasted on the self-absorbed.

Lorii Myers

#16. The war against illegal file-sharing is like the church's age-old war against masturbation. It's a war you just can't win.

Lawrence Lessig

#17. The quantum fluctuations within a zero-point field can start the process that builds the process, which builds into matter, an irreversible process. We have some evidence that suggests that. We don't have a Big Bang, but we have a lot of little pops! A continuous set of little pops!

Edgar Mitchell

#18. Those running tights the young women wear now, so they look like spacewomen, raspberry red and electric green so tight they show every muscle right into the crack between the buttocks, what is the point of them? Display. Young animals need to display.

John Updike

#19. Whatever works, that's my philosophy. I don't care if it's magic beans or a prayer cloth dipped in the Jordan River.

Robert Ferrigno

#20. Ultimately, too much dependency on a person can kill love. Relationships based on emotional insecurity and need, rather than on love, can become self-destructive. They don't work. Too much need drives people away and smothers love. It scares people away.

Melody Beattie

#21. Life is a field of cosmic consciousness, expressing itself in million ways in space-time through quantum entanglement

Amit Ray

#22. We all have a Wonder Woman inside us.

Diane Von Furstenberg

#23. the particles are quanta of quantum fields; light is formed by quanta of a field; space is nothing more than a field, which is also made of quanta; and time emerges from the processes of this same field. In other words, the world is made entirely from quantum fields (

Carlo Rovelli

#24. The field of quantum possibility, in which love has opened doors otherwise unimaginable, is our soul's true habitat. The world of fear and limitation is not our home, and who among us is not profoundly weary of hanging out where we do not belong.

Marianne Williamson

#25. We slip into the lives that are laid out for us the way children slip into the clothes their mother lays out for them in the morning. No one decides. We don't live our lives by choice, but by default.

Jed McKenna

#26. You can live constrained within the confines of a solely material perspective, or choose instead the infinite field of quantum possibility.

Marianne Williamson

#27. Virtual domain = the field of spirit Quantum domain = the field of mind Material reality = the field of physical existence

Deepak Chopra
