Louis Pasteur Quotes

From a scientific point of view, our mission is to seek answers to the fundamental questions about the universe. Many are open - we don't know about dark matter, which accounts for a quarter of the universe's matter, nor do we know why there's antimatter.

Physics is the most basic part of science and, of course, math. It gives you insight into everything - a foundation, I should say, to understand nature and the universe.

It is an embarrassment that the dominant forms of matter in the universe remain hypothetical.

Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle physics, anyway. I think I might find the universal principles of String Theory most elegant - if I only knew what they were.

I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

The idea of combining the physics of modern particle theory with cosmology was very young when I started working on cosmology.

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

As an astrophysicist, my research work involves mapping dark matter, the elusive substance that accounts for about a quarter of our universe.

I think that the discovery of antimatter was perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps in physics in our century.

You know, dark matter matters.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

A hydrogen bomb, for me, was puny compared to the Big Bang - the creation of the universe. That's what I really wanted to work on - the nature of the universe itself, and that's what I do for a living.

In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics. However, this is not what most people mean by God, so I have decided not to use the term. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a God.

I'm a huge advocate of all sciences. And my favorite - actually, not my favorite because I love all sciences - but my primary science that I study all the time is physics. It's the mother of all sciences because it's just how things move and how things react to the world around them. I feel like I would definitely go to college for physics.

I read a lot of science books - I love cosmology, quantum theory, particle physics. So my idea of a great read would probably put you directly into a coma.

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

I did not set out to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. I'm a particle physicist, and I was actually thinking about dark matter along with some collaborators.

I would hope that the publicity around the Higgs boson would increase the public awareness of physics and cosmology.

Without space, there is no time.

Which was first, Matter or Force? If we think on this question, we shall find that we are unable to conceive of matter without force, or force without matter. When God created the elements of which the earth is composed, He created certain wondrous forces, which are set free and become evident when matter acts on matter.

Everything is made of light
