Famous quotes containing the word physics:

    “Although philosophers generally believe in laws and deny causes, explanatory practice in physics is just the reverse.”
    —Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)

    “But this invites the occult mind,
    Cancels our physics with a sneer,
    And spatters all we knew of denouement
    Across the expedient and wicked stones.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
