Carlo Rovelli

Quantum World Quotes #1385835
#11. Radical self-care is quantum, and radiates out into the atmosphere, like a little fresh air. It is a huge gift to the world. When people respond by saying, "Well, isn't she full of herself," smile obliquely, like Mona Lisa, and make both of you a nice cup of tea.

Anne Lamott

Quantum World Quotes #1374559
#12. I learned that opening myself to my own love and to life's tough loveliness not only was the most delicious, amazing thing on earth but also was quantum. It would radiate out to a cold, hungry world. Beautiful moments heal, as do real cocoa, Pete Seeger, a walk on old fire roads.

Anne Lamott

Quantum World Quotes #1369307
#13. The passage of time is internal to the world, is born in the world itself in the relationship between quantum events that comprise the world and are themselves the source of time. The

Carlo Rovelli

Quantum World Quotes #1354784
#14. Quantum mechanics extends this relativity in a radical way: all variable aspects of an object exist only in relation to other objects. It is only in interactions that nature draws the world.

Carlo Rovelli

Quantum World Quotes #1271536
#15. If quantum mechanics is how reality structures itself, then the world is far weirder than we think. It is truly a wonderful time to write Science Fiction!

Stavros Halvatzis

Quantum World Quotes #1219155
#16. Margrethe: And when all our eyes are closed, when even the ghosts have gone, what will be left of our beloved world? Our ruined and dishonoured and beloved world?

Michael Frayn

Quantum World Quotes #1131905

Ted Kosmatka

Quantum World Quotes #1428273
#21. If quantum entanglement is true, if related particles react in similar or opposite ways even when separated by tremendous distances, then it is obvious that the whole world is alive and communicating in ways we do not fully understand.

Christian Wiman

Quantum World Quotes #1429236
#22. It's starting to catch hold, and in large measure it's because we're starting to understand that much of what we have talked about in ancient mythology and mystical experience and so forth can pretty well be modeled within the world of quantum physics. That's a 20th century phenomenon also.

Edgar Mitchell

Quantum World Quotes #1496406
#23. It is a bizarre world. It is an upside down, inside out, quantum physics world. It is the eve of destruction in America.

Dalai Lama XIV

Quantum World Quotes #1650561
#26. Indeed, our everyday world presents intellectual challenges just as daunting as those of the cosmos and the quantum, and that is where 99 per cent of scientists focus their efforts. Even the smallest insect, with its intricate structure, is far more complex than either an atom or a star.

Martin Rees

Quantum World Quotes #1737275
#27. In a world described by quantum physics, an insistence on causal closure of the physical world amounts to a quasi-religious faith in the absolute powers of matter, a belief that is no more than a commitment to brute, and outmoded, materialism.

Jeffrey M. Schwartz

Quantum World Quotes #1749563
#28. You are deluded if you think that the world around you is a physical construct separate from your own mind.

Kevin Michel

Quantum World Quotes #1818076

Douglas Adams

Quantum World Quotes #1819018

Murray Gell-Mann

Quantum World Quotes #68134
#34. The world of the everyday suddenly seemed nothing but an inverted magic act, lulling its audience into believing in the usual, familiar conceptions of space and time, while the astonishing truth of quantum reality lay carefully guarded by nature's sleights of hand.

Marianne Williamson

Quantum World Quotes #148815
#37. 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 (

Jeff VanderMeer

Quantum World Quotes #436180
#43. Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of procedures and results in our classical domain.

John Stewart Bell

Quantum World Quotes #921318
#44. They weren't people that liked change. They were the kind of people that would have tied change to a chair with dental floss if they could in order to avoid it. They were the type of people who desired to live in their virtual bubbles and grew to resent anyone that challenged that world.

Anna M. Aquino

Quantum World Quotes #452793
#45. Classical mechanics gave us a deterministic view of the world. Quantum mechanics, conversely, gives us a probabilistic view instead. According to Newton, if you know the cause af an event, you can predict the outcome. According to M.Born, you can only predict how likely that outcome will be.

Leonid V. Azaroff

Quantum World Quotes #473640
#46. The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment.

Martin Rees

Quantum World Quotes #541534
#48. Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.

John Polkinghorne

Quantum World Quotes #697036
#49. Orwell's '1984' convinced me, rightly or wrongly, that Marxism was only a quantum leap away from tyranny. By contrast, Huxley's 'Brave New World' suggested that the totalitarian systems of the future might be subservient and ingratiating.

J.G. Ballard

Quantum World Quotes #718207
#50. We live in a world where the laws are getting so tight that management has changed to micro-management to quantum-management to paralysis.

Jane Siberry

Quantum World Quotes #739900
