Classical Mechanics Quotes

“Classical mechanics gave us a deterministic view of the world. Quantum mechanics, conversely, gives us a probabilistic view instead. According to Newton, if you know the cause af an event, you can predict the outcome. According to M.Born, you can only predict how likely that outcome will be.”
― Leonid V. Azaroff

“People get a lot of confusion because they keep trying to think of quantum mechanics as classical mechanics”
― Sidney Coleman

“The production of heat alone is not sufficient to give birth to impelling power: it is necessary that there should also be cold; without it, the heat would be useless.”
― Sadi Carnot, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire: And Other Papers on the Second Law of Thermodynamics
