Famous quotes and sentences with the word quantum theory.
1
Brandon Boyd
The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry.
2
John Polkinghorne
Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.
3
Erwin Schrodinger
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.
4
Lee Smolin
There certainly is a tension between the relativity of simultaneity and non-locality in quantum theory, but it's not strong enough to add up to a falsification of either side by itself.
5
Kip Thorne
We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.
