Karene Jade Howie - Student of Philosophy and overworked shop keeper!Hello and welcome to the Philosophy Shop.

We really like philosophers and other creative thinkers of Human history - the Philosophy Shop represents several years work collecting over 500 quotes and portraits from many of the greatest minds of the past 3,000 years. Over the past 5 years the Philosophy Gift Shop has been one of the most popular shops at Cafepress - out of roughly 6 million shops! (Cafepress are a print on demand online shop and top 1000 website. They sell products world wide and have a full 30 day refund, making it a safe place to buy some very cool gifts for yourself and your friends.)

We hope you enjoy browsing our unique collection of photos & paintings with their eclectic mix of profound and engaging quotes.

Cheers!

Physics: Quantum Theory, Relativity, Cosmology
Famous Physicist's Quotes, Portraits & Pictures

Sir Isaac Newton: Physics Online Gift ShopAs you may be aware, we have a comprehensive Physics section on this website with some interesting pages on Einstein's Theory of Special and General Relativity, Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics and Cosmology. (Our physics pages include many Physicist's quotes, biographies, pictures and summary / explanation of central ideas).

Below you will find our unique gallery of Physics Prints with quotes from famous Physicists on Quantum Physics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Cosmology - Robert Oppenheimer, Max Born, Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, Paul Dirac, Louis de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger, Niels Bohr, Hendrik Lorentz, Marie & Pierre Curie, Henri Jules Poincare, Max Planck, Ernest Rutherford, Ernst Mach, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday, Sir Isaac Newton, Christiaan Huygens and Nicolaus Copernicus.


We hope you find our selection of physics quotes and portraits of famous Physicists interesting, wise, inspiring and useful!

'At the moment physics is again terribly confused. ...I wish I had been a movie comedian or something of the sort and had never heard of physics.' (Wolfgang Pauli on Quantum Theory)


Mathematics Physics: Paul Dirac Quantum Theory

Sensible mathematics involves neglecting a quantity when it turns out to be small - not neglecting it just because it is infinitely great and you do not want it!'


Huygens Combination: Wave Structure of Matter
Huygens Combination: Wave Structure of Matter
'Christiaan Huygens found that a surface containing many separate wave sources appeared, ...as a single wave front with the shape of the surface. ...'


Louis de Broglie: Quantum Wave Mechanics
Louis de Broglie: Quantum Wave Mechanics
'This idea has guided my research: for matter, just as much as for radiation, in particular light, we must introduce at one and the same time the corpuscle concept & wave concept.' (Louis de Broglie)


Erwin Schrodinger: Unity of Reality
Erwin Schrodinger: Unity of Reality
'The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.' (Erwin Schrodinger, 1887 - 1961)


Erwin Schrodinger: Quantum Mechanics
Erwin Schrodinger: Quantum Mechanics
'Let me say at the outset, I am opposing not a few special statements of quantum mechanics held today (1950s), I am opposing the whole of it ... '


Erwin Schrodinger: Truth & sincerity
Erwin Schrodinger: Truth & Sincerity
'The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists'. (Erwin Schrodinger)


Quantum Physics Theory: Niels Bohr

'I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.' (Noble Prize Winner, Madame Marie Curie 1867 - 1934)


Henri Jules Poincare: Nature Science Quotes
Henri Jules Poincare: Nature Science Quotes
'The scientist does not study nature because it is useful, he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. ...'


Max Planck: Quantum Theory
Max Planck: Quantum Theory
'... From its origination, I was occupied with the task of giving the radiation formula real physical meaning ...
(Max Planck, 1919 Nobel Prize speech on Quantum Theory)


Father of Nuclear Physics: Ernest Rutherford
Father of Nuclear Physics: Ernest Rutherford
'All Science is either physics or stamp collecting.'


Cosmology: Mach's Principle
Cosmology: Mach's Principle
'Mach's Principle: The mass of a body is determined by all other matter in the universe.'


Maxwell's Electromagnetic Equations

'...All energy is the same as mechanical energy, whether it exists in the form of motion or in that of elasticity, ...energy in electromagnetic phenomena is mechanical energy.'


Michael Faraday: Wonderful Truth, laws of Nature
Michael Faraday: Wonderful Truth, laws of Nature
'Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of Nature.'


Sir Isaac Newton: Laws of Motion
Sir Isaac Newton: Laws of Motion
'I. Every object in a state of uniform motion remains in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma.
III. For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action'.


Sir Isaac Newton: Gravity
Sir Isaac Newton: Gravity
'I have explained phenomena ... by the force of gravity, but I have not yet ascertained the cause of gravity itself ... & I do not invent hypotheses.'
(Sir Isaac Newton, 1643 - 1727)
