“Logic is the youth of mathematics and mathematics is the manhood of logic.“ ~ Bertrand Russell

“There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.” ― Richard Feynman

"Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen.” ― Bill Bryson

“Like all magnificent things, it's very simple.” ― Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.” ― Werner Heisenberg, Across the Frontiers

“Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise.” ― Bertrand Russell

“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Happy 91st Birthday to Carl Sagan – a true pioneer of science who ignited our cosmic curiosity. Appreciation for our favorite science communicator, Carl Sagan ❤️ "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love."

“Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.” -- John Wheeler

“It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.” ― Michio Kaku

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.” ― Erwin Schrödinger

“Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.” — Albert Camus

“The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.” ~ Baruch Spinoza

“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.” ― Stephen Hawking

This means if something happens to one particle, it affects all the others with which it’s entangled.

Even if they separate and move far apart in time and space, they continue to share something beyond a mere bond — they shed their original quantum states and take on a new, united quantum state which they maintain forever.

One of the most far-out phenomena of quantum theory is quantum entanglement, the idea that particles of the same origin, which were once connected, always stay connected.

What Is the Spooky Science of Quantum Entanglement? 🧵

Heisenberg’s “Physics and Philosophy” is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how modern physics reshaped our view of reality. Heisenberg shows that physics and philosophy are two ways of asking the same question: What is truth?

“Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.” ― Niels Bohr, Essays 1932-1957 on Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge
