Physicists must feel they are in the most exciting field in the world. Their minds must be afire.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.
Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.
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.
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
Physics is perceived as a lonesome, nerdy kind of enterprise that has very little to do with human feelings and the things that excite people day-to-day about each other. Yet physicists in their own working environment are very social creatures.
