As
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!
 Oppenheimer:
Atomic Bomb Manhattan Project 'If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One... I am become Death, the shatterer of Worlds.' |
 Philosopher
/ Scientist: Max Born 'I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy. ... I believe there is no philosophical high-road in Science, with epistemological signposts ...' |
 Uncertainty
Principle: Heisenberg Natural Science 'Natural Science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves.' |
 Wolfgang
Pauli: Principles in Physics '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 '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 '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 '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 '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 '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 'Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.' |
 Nobel
Prize Lorentz Electromagnetic Field in Ether 'I cannot but regard the ether, ...as endowed with a certain degree of substantiality, however different it may be from all ordinary matter.' |
 Madame
Marie Curie: Physics Nature Liberty 'All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child. ... It was like a new world opened to me, ...which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.' (Marie Curie) |
 Marie
& Pierre Curie: Noble Discoveries Good Evil '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 '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 '... 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) |
 |
 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 'Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of Nature.' |
 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 '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) |
 Sir
Isaac Newton: Absolute Space 'Absolute space, in its own nature, without regard to any thing external, remains always similar and immovable'. (Sir Isaac Newton, 1643 - 1727) |
 Nicolaus
Copernicus: Cosmology 'Nicolaus Copernicus, through his work (that the earth was not the center of the world) and the greatness of his personality, taught man to be honest'. (Albert Einstein) |
ABOUT CAFEPRESS: Cafepress are a print on demand online shop with nearly 3 million members (shopkeepers who create their own shops & products) and a total of 20 million products! The website is in the top 1,000 websites on the internet and gets around one million visitors each day. Because products are print on demand they are more expensive than mass produced goods, however, you have the advantage of purchasing unique custom made products that are not found anywhere else (this is particularly true for our philosophy shop). Cafepress ships products world wide (we live in Australia and have bought numerous items without any problems) and they have a thirty day full refund so it is a safe place to purchase some pretty cool gifts / presents (for yourself or others!).
