  • One does not have to appeal to God to set the initial conditions for the creation of the universe, but if one does He would have to act through the laws of physics.

    Law   Religion   Atheism  
  • There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer; you can set your clock by it-literally; it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.

    Law   Weather   Space  
  • Food, like anything else, lives in the physical world and obeys the laws of physics. When you whisk together some oil and a little bit of lemon juice - or, in other words, make mayonnaise - you are using the principles of physics and chemistry. Understanding how those principles affect cooking lets you cook better.

    Law   Oil   Understanding  
    "Nathan Myhrvold on Modernist Cuisine 'Culinary History Has To Be Analyzed Like Art History'". SPIEGEL Interview, www.spiegel.de. April 21, 2011.
  • I don't know what laws of physics are involved, but if you fill a gym with teenagersand tell them to stare at one object, heat is actually produced. I half expected tospontaneously combust.Katrina

    Law   Half   Heat  
  • When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.

  • So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.

    Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, Matthew Sands (2013). “The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 1 for tablets”, Basic Books
  • It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

  • There's no law of physics that says we have to be an unsustainable society - in fact, quite the opposite. The planet's ready to work with us if we're ready to think differently, but we do have to make that jump and start to do things in new ways.

  • 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, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.

    Hope   Science   Errors  
    "The Nature of the Physical World" by Arthur Eddington, (Ch. 4), 1928.
  • If I want to understand the laws of physics I have to first believe what I read about physics. I have to have faith in what I read.

  • It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.

    Law   Way   Consciousness  
    Eugene Paul Wigner (2012). “Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses”, p.248, Springer Science & Business Media
  • We have to create miracles. A miracle is not the intersession of an external divine agency in violation of the laws of physics. A miracle is simply something that is impossible from an old story but possible from within a new one. It is an expansion of what is possible.

    Agency   Law   Miracle  
  • We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.

    Atheist   Order   Law  
    "Leaping the Abyss". Interview with Gregory Benford, reason.com. April 2002.
  • The smallest thought could not exist unless the entire universe and the laws of physics were in some way encouraging it.

    Law   Way   Physics  
    Kevin Kelly (2010). “What Technology Wants”, p.321, Penguin
  • We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.

    Order   Law   Names  
    "Leaping the Abyss". Interview with Gregory Benford, reason.com. April 2002.
  • The laws of physics that we regard as 'sacred,' as immutable, are anything but.

    Law   Sacred   Physics  
    John Archibald Wheeler (2010). “Geons, Black Holes, and Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics”, p.298, W. W. Norton & Company
  • Whether you function as welders or inspectors, the laws of physics are implacable lie-detectors. You may fool men. You will never fool the metal.

    Lying   Men   Law  
  • Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the "Mona Lisa" painted by a club? Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report? Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam, whether it takes ultimate shape in a law of physics or a law of the land, a poem or a policy, a sonata or a mechanical computer.

    God   Spring   Creativity  
    1957 Baccalaureate address, 9 Jun.
  • The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.

  • When the weather changes and hurricanes hit, nobody believes that the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed. It's the same stock market with the same mechanisms and the same people.

    Believe   Law   Weather  
    "A Theory of Roughness". The Edge Interview, www.edge.org. December 20, 2004.
  • Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.

    Real   Law   Choices  
  • The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

    Love   Life   God  
  • It's as if we think the laws of physics are subject to debate and amendment and political contributions can sway the laws of physics.

  • We are persons whose bodies can be objectively studied according to the impersonal laws of physics but whose minds are subjectively experienced in ways science has not yet been able to fathom. In short, by radically seperating science from religion, we are not merely segregating two human institutions; we are fragmenting ourselves as individuals and as a society in ways that lead to deep, unresolved conflicts in terms of our view of the world, our values, and our way of life.

    Views   Law   Two  
    B. Alan Wallace (2004). “The Taboo of Subjectivity: Toward a New Science of Consciousness”, p.8, Oxford University Press, USA
  • People take it for granted that the physical world is both ordered and intelligible. The underlying order in nature - the laws of physics - are simply accepted as given, as brute facts. Nobody asks where they came from; at least not in polite company. However, even the most atheistic scientist accepts as an act of faith that the universe is not absurd, that there is a rational basis to physical existence manifested as law-like order in nature that is at least partly comprehensible to us. So science can proceed only if the scientist adopts an essentially theological worldview.

  • No one any longer pays attention to - if I may call it - the spirit of physics, the idea of discovery, the idea of understanding. I think it's difficult to make clear to the non-physicist the beauty of how it fits together, of how you can build a world picture, and the beauty that the laws of physics are immutable.

  • To label Jason Randal a magician does a disservice. You'll think the laws of physics, nature, the universe itself have been suspended. He's as good as Houdini was at his best!

  • All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

    Quoted in J. B. Birks, Rutherford at Manchester (1962)
  • Thanks to those pesky laws of physics, when things aren't sustainable, they stop.

  • You can imagine over very long timescales, perhaps far beyond the multi-decade time scale, we might be able to ask very deep questions about why we feel the way we feel about things, or why we think of ourselves in certain ways - questions that have been in the realm of psychology and philosophy but have been very difficult to get a firm mechanistic laws-of-physics grasp on.
