Feynman once said, 'Science is imagination in a straitjacket.' It is ironic that in the case of quantum mechanics, the people without the straitjackets are generally the nuts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Physicists must feel they are in the most exciting field in the world. Their minds must be afire.
It is astonishing that human brains, which evolved to cope with the everyday world, have been able to grasp the counterintuitive mysteries of the cosmos and the quantum.
Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong.
We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.
Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition.
We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture.
I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.
I'm fascinated with quantum physics.
