Candace Bushnell Quotes

We talk about quantum weirdness and things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and molecules, stuff we don't normally interact with.

Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium.

The electron, as it leaves the atom, crystallises out of Schrodinger's mist like a genie emerging from his bottle.

Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing.

Now I know what the atom looks like.

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.

As soon as I know it's about technological things or spies, I lose interest. I want to know what goes on in people's minds.

Men are very emotionally dependent upon women from the day they are born to the day they expire.

For it goes without saying that this great recognition at this time will aid tremendously our efforts to find the necessarily large funds for the next voyage of exploration farther into the depths of the atom.

Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone - both to the novice and to the experienced physicist.

Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons.

A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.

When one studies the properties of atoms, one found that the reality is far stranger than anybody would have invented in the form of fiction. Particles really do have the possibility of, in some sense, being in more than one place at one time.

Statistical physics or Newtonian physics gives way to quantum physics. Very unusual properties of matter emerge at that scale, and you can think about building products in a very different way. You can think about interfacing to biology in a very different way.

I'm a person who's very interested in science and the universe and quantum physics and astrophysics.

We appear to have form, but we are like a whirlpool. We appear to have form, but we are just whirling electrons.

Human interaction is not a simple thing.

I will go only so far as to say that I knew what an atom was.

If you look at anything physical, you find out that at the quantum level, it is non-physical.

The more one chases the quanta, the better they hide themselves.

Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.

Every atom in your body is the same quark in different places at the same moment in time.

For nearly a hundred years, we have known that the material world is an illusion. Everything that seems solid - a rock, a tree, your body - is actually 99.999% empty space.

Physicists are atoms' way of thinking about atoms.

Modern physics has... revealed that every sub-atomic particle not only performs an energy dance, but also is an energy dance; a pulsating process of creation and destruction.
