Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth.
Truth, Physics
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding...
Intelligence, Understanding, Insight
Understanding requires insight. Insight must be anchored.
Understanding, Insight
...quantum mechanics - the physics of our world - requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.
Humor, Physics
According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.
If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.
Metaphor
…The wonders of life and the universe are mere reflections of microscopic particles engaged in a pointless dance fully choreographed by the laws of physics.
The world of the everyday suddenly seemed nothing but an inverted magic act, lulling its audience into believing in the usual, familiar conceptions of space and time, while the astonishing truth of quantum reality lay carefully guarded by nature's sleights of hand.
