Maxwell is the physicist’s physicist.
So great a contribution to physics was Two New Sciences that scholars have long maintained that the book anticipated Isaac Newton’s laws of motion.
Do you believe in first love – or should I pass by again?
In my mind, I am free.
One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
It is tribute to how far we have come in theoretical physics that it now takes enormous machines and a great deal of money to perform experiments whose results we can not predict.
Chaos, when left alone, tends to multiply.
Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
Computer viruses are alive.
The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
One can’t prove that God doesn’t exist, but science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
At times, I get very lonely because people are afraid to talk to me or don’t wait for me to write a response. I’m shy and tongue-tied at times. I find it difficult to talk to people who I don’t know.
If I knew what was going to happen in ten years I would do it now. I just follow my nose.
But a machine that was powerful enough to accelerate particles to the grand unification energy would have to be as big as the Solar System – and would be unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate.
When I get to heaven I’m gonna find the guy in charge of the weather and kick his rear.
When something is made idiot proof, they will just make better idiots.
Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you’re an ass.
