Physics Quotes

It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism 

because it deals with probabilities from the outset.

 — Arthur Eddington

The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests 

and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena. 

The verbal interpretation, on the other hand,
i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. 

In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.

 — Erwin Schrödinger
