Albert Einstein Physics Quotations

Thus the partial differential equation entered theoretical physics as a handmaid, but has gradually become mistress.

The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.

Galileo - the father of modern physics - indeed of modern science.

It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure. Only so could the era in theoretical physics inaugurated by Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell be brought to a satisfactory close.

If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.

When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.

Politics is more difficult than physics.

The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks

Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.

Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.

Politics is far more complicated than physics.

I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.

I was just more stubborn and more passionate than most about physics.

No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
