The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.

Physics is the science of all the tremendously powerful invisibilities - of magnetism, electricity, gravity, light, sound, cosmic rays. Physics is the science of the mysteries of the universe. How could anyone think it dull?

From a consideration of the immense volume of newly discovered facts in the field of physics, especially atomic physics, in recent years it might well appear to the layman that the main problems were already solved and that only more detailed work was necessary.

That attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.

Without renouncing the support of physics, it is possible for the physiology of the senses, not only to pursue its own course of development, but also to afford to physical science itself powerful assistance.

When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.

A Physics Teacher
I’m never that scared
Cause there’s Eeh-em-see Squared(E=mc2)
No kinetic ever shared
It was one’s great nightmare
To be sure and be fair
To them I must share
But of you, your answer
To my question’s my fear
A physics teacher
She’s a great leader
She’s sir Paul’s sister
And choi-choi’s mother
I’d better surrender
In physics, it’s better
But to make it more clearer
I’ll be out of this crater
I know ‘bout psychology
And you know my strategy
I wish to keep it in Secrecy
Cause it’s just my philanthropy
Happy teacher’s month
Hope that science still you’ll hunt.
I really love this one
The science 5 minus 1
Hope you’ll see the real me
Even if the only way’s to peel me
But this I’ll make sure to thee
It’s me.In the right time you’ll see

There's no fun in physics, but a good deal of physics in fun.
In 1948 I entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, undecided between studies of chemistry and physics, but my first year convinced me that physics was more interesting to me.

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.

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.

My physics teacher, Thomas Miner was particularly gifted. To this day, I remember how he introduced the subject of physics. He told us we were going to learn how to deal with very simple questions such as how a body falls due to the acceleration of gravity.

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.

My latter schooldays and my university days were during the war, when science - physics, in particular - was a very important and glamorous subject. A lot of us felt that if we couldn't get into science, we might try engineering or medicine.
