Prof. Feynman John von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: That you don't have to be responsible for the world that you're in. So I developed a powerful sense of social irresponsibility because of Neumann's advice. Made me a very happy man ever since. [Richard Feynman] via @Robot_Feynman

Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so. Test ideas by the evidence gained from observation and experiment! If a favorite idea fails a well-designed test, it's wrong.

Fine-Structure Constant (approx. 1/137) is a dimensionless constant that characterizes the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. Its value is approximately 1/137, and it's one of the fundamental constants of nature whose origin remains

In the standard model, every Feynman diagram is constructed using a combination of specific vertices. Here, q represents any quark, g stands for a gluon, X denotes any charged particle, γ symbolizes a photon, f signifies any fermion, m refers to any particle that has mass (except

You don't stop learning because you grow old. You grow old because you stop learning.

1) Understanding is more important than memorization. 2) Learn principles, not formulas. 3) Ask questions. 4) Read Books every day. 5) Teaching is a powerful tool to learning.

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. -- Werner Heisenberg

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible. -- Bertrand Russell

Knowing is easy, understanding is hard.

Watch as this video takes you to the farthest galaxy ever detected by #NASAWebb (so far), JADES-GS-z14-0. Read about how the scientists were able to find this galaxy, observed only 290 million years after the big bang: webbtelescope.pub/4bWMXYD

Fritz Zwicky discovered dark matter by applying the virial theorem to the Coma cluster of galaxies. The virial theorem is a mathematical relation that connects the kinetic energy and the potential energy of a system of particles. Zwicky used the theorem to estimate the total mass

Ettore Majorana, an Italian physicist renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to quantum mechanics, experienced a mysterious and perplexing disappearance that has baffled the scientific community for decades. In March 1938, at the age of 32, Majorana boarded a steamship

I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper. -- as mentioned in Dmitri Mendeleev's diary

As a physicist who has devoted his whole life to rational science, to the study of matter, I think I can safely claim to be above any suspicion of irrational exuberance. Having said that, I would like to observe that my research on the atom has shown me that there is no such

Ehrenfest theorem bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics by showing that the expectation values of quantum operators follow the classical equations of motion. It's a cornerstone in the understanding of how classical behaviour emerges from quantum

Each of five men—Lobachewsky, Bolyai, Plücker, Riemann, Lie—invented as part of his lifework as much (or more) new geometry as was created by all the Greek mathematicians in the two or three centuries of their greatest activity. -- Eric Temple Bell
