Famous quotes containing the words significant, atomic and/or physicists:

    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    No atomic physicist has to worry, people will always want to kill other people on a mass scale. Sure, he’s got the fridge full of sausages and spring water.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an atom’s way of knowing about atoms.
    George Wald (b. 1906)
