Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics.

Louis Armstrong is quite simply the most important person in American music. He is to 20th century music (I did not say jazz) what Einstein is to physics.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.

Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.

Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time.

Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy.

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.

It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.

Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.

I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.

Eight months later, having left Columbia, I was studying physics in a summer program and working in Colorado when I decided to enroll as a graduate student in biophysics.

I spent eighteen months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University, waiting unhappily for an opportunity to work in a laboratory and wondering if I should continue in physics.
