I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among real mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity and quantum mechanics, and these subjects are at present at any rate, almost as useless as the theory of numbers. G. H. Hardy
I just really like ants, and I really like science. I was interested and curious about the quantum world and the physics behind how it all works. Evangeline Lilly
[T]he laws of quantum mechanics itself cannot be formulated … without recourse to the concept of consciousness. Eugene Wigner
Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not. Eugene Wigner
When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness came to the fore again. It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness. Eugene Wigner
It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness. Eugene Wigner
In this communication I wish first to show in the simplest case of the hydrogen atom (nonrelativistic and undistorted) that the usual rates for quantization can be replaced by another requirement, in which mention of whole numbers no longer occurs. Instead the integers occur in the same natural way as the integers specifying the number … Read more
If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory. Erwin Schrodinger
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics. Erwin Schrodinger
In Darwin’s theory, you just have to substitute ‘mutations’ for his ‘slight accidental variations’ (just as quantum theory substitutes ‘quantum jump’ for ‘continuous transfer of energy’). In all other respects little change was necessary in Darwin’s theory… Erwin Schrodinger
