“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.”

“Relativistic quantum field theory worked well in describing the behaviors of elementary particles, but the theory only works when gravity is so weak that is can be forgotten. If you can pretend that gravity doesn’t exist, it is at this point theoretically that particle theory works. Basic relativity has produced many revelations about the universe, but it only works when we pretend that quantum mechanics is not needed to describe nature.”

“Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.”

“Beyond work and love, I would add two other ingredients that give meaning to life. First, to fulfill whatever talents we are born with. However blessed we are by fate with different abilities and strengths, we should try to develop them to the fullest, rather than allow them to atrophy and decay. We all know individuals who did not fulfill the promise they showed in childhood. Many of them became haunted by the image of what they might have become. Instead of blaming fate, I think we should accept ourselves as we are and try to fulfill whatever dreams are within our capability.
Second, we should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it. As individuals, we can make a difference, whether it is to probe the secrets of Nature, to clean up the environment and work for peace and social justice, or to nurture the inquisitive, vibrant spirit of the young by being a mentor and a guide.”
