If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least

conceded so much to our imperfect intellects that in order to predict

little parts of it, we need not solve innumberable differential

equations, but can use dice with fair success.

-- Max Born

 

 

The electron is not as simple as it looks.

-- (William) Lawrence Bragg, British Physicist(1890-1971)

 

 

"The second law of thermodynamics holds, I think, the supreme position among

the laws of nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the

Universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse

for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation -

well, those experimentalists do bungle things up sometimes. but if your theory

is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope;

there is nothing to do but to collapse in deepest humiliation."

 

-- Arthur S. Eddington (British Astrophysicist, 1882-1944) in The nature

of the Physical World (1928)

 

 

 

If it's all right with Dirac, it's all right with me.

 

-- Enrico Fermi, on being told that there was direct experimental

evidence that helium-3 nuclei obey Fermi-Dirac statistics.

 

 

 

Physics is to Math what Sex is to Masturbation

--Richard Feynman

 

 

Physics is not a religion. If it were, we'd have a much easier time

raising money. - Leon Lederman

The Benoit/Blamey Theory of Thermo-Sock-Dynamics: Why bother to do laundry, when the inevitable loss of a sock will just increase entropy and contribute to the eventual heat death of the universe anyway?

 

The most important part of a microbiologist's job is not letting the little things get to him.
