He later wondered why he had never noticed the effect. Physicist Victor Weisskopf had a similar response."The first reaction to this work is that it's wrong.
The two kinds of stars would both show exactly the same spectra, and there would be no way of distinguishing them by present astronomical methods." Physicist Edward Harrison took this one step further, saying there should even be entire antigalaxies.- And then people realized, well, if that's the case, there'd be regions where these boundaries where the two regions would meet,
He had a slightly unusual presentation style. Physicist Eugene Wigner described the lecture as detached, almost like a recitation of a technical text.He said, "The man spoke without giving any sign of enjoying his own lecture." But the work this strange unassuming man presented
the person you're going to go to is not a physicist . It's going to be either a biologist or a psychiatrist, or who knows, but it's not going to be a physicist . And the simple example is this. You know, let's say, let's say someone comes in here and tells you a beautiful mathematical proof, okay?It's just really, you know, deep and beautiful, and there's a physicist nearby, and he says, "Well, I know exactly what happened. There were some air particles that moved
Yes." And then there's a couple things I go, "Ooh, well, hmm." Uh and the same when I sit here with a physicist that's telling me about the Big Bang.Yes. I have the same thing where I'm going, "Yes. Yes, of course. Yes. Oh, we've got evidence that the universe is expanding.
would be hundreds thousands of years more advanced than us. So I'm a physicist . We look at that space warps.Is it possible that a flying saucer race could create a space warp so they can visit us?
yet to see an alien ship. In other words, people say, "I saw something." Now, what does that mean? I'm a physicist . We go where the we go where the observation goes. And we have noobservations to verify what you saw.
Because he has no idea whether the takeover will be peaceful or not. Physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark, president of the Future of Life Institute at MIT said, "In creating AI, we're birthing a new form of lifewith unlimited potential for good or for ill." And the director of Cambridge University's Center for the Study of Existential Risk
of the within and um I love being the number two to Harville the number one physicist who is really mapping out the science of relationship and the physicsof the between so all of this Harville also woke up one day and said to me the
worldview. So you know that if you do a physics problem, and again you ignore friction and dissipation and so forth, you play physics billiards, physicist billiards where balls just bump into each other and so forth, you can solve the problem of these two balls are moving with certain velocities.They scatter and they go off in another direction.
Just a couple years ago, Brian Greene, who is a string theory physicist -- I did a piece with him.So I began writing music for sciences.
And ended up there. physicist . And said, hey, I want to build a nuclear fusion reactor.
like and there it is that is probably what quum physic is there any quent physicists around are you a quent physicist is that what it looks like s bit more red is itred liver is that what physics based on liver based on sort of kidneys I do you know
- It's a juicy, juicy problem, which occupied literally generations, hundreds and hundreds of years of incredibly ambitious, talented mathematicians, physicists , and astronomers, and beyond.- The fact that this problem is so difficult to solve should at least be a little surprising because if you have just two bodies,
- And that's showing, throwing no shade on their colleague who did these cool experiments. Physicists in camp two maintain that potentials really are just mathematical objects and the fields are responsible for the effect.
that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Physicists assumed he was wrong.They thought that at 56 Einstein was an old man, past his prime and just unable to accept the new theory of physics
After all, he may not have convinced Bohr of this during his talk, but he was determined to do it during the rest of the conference. - Physicists tell a version of this story, you know that you will find in physics textbooks and in pop science books and that you know physicists tell amongst ourselves that what happened was Einstein and Bohr had a great debate
All of a sudden, the physicists were thinking about physics in terms of these symmetries. - Physicists started applying these ideas to the quantum world too, realizing that charged particles like electrons also have symmetries. Electrons have a phase, which you can think of as an arrow pointing in some direction, but you can offset this phase by any arbitrary amount
understand life, to understand mind, to understand intelligence? You make a lot of controversial statements with your work. That's one of them 'cause there's a lot of physicists that believe they can understand life, the emergence of life, the origin of life, the origin of intelligence using the tools of physics.In fact, all the other tools are a distraction to those folks. If you want to understand fundamentally anything, you have to start at
towards what happens in classrooms and how do students learn, talk about things like what is a science identity and those kinds of questions-- which, often-- physicists , like me, of course, we are not experts on that.And we know our physics, but our lived experiences also give us some level of knowledge of how all of this works.
physicists and the entire IIT faculties uh faculty group so all of them
physicists , astronomers, biochemists. And you have people from diverse backgrounds.
Physicists typically find it a very disturbing idea.
Physicists like things that align like that.
Physicists have gotten to the point where they no longer want to ask the big questions about quantum theory.
Physicists have a set of historical and philosophical myths that they tell amongst themselves, kind of folk history, that's passed down from generation
Physicists don't like infinities, computer scientists don't like infinities, mathematicians love infinities.
physicists wearing their Prof professional Garb take the par these paradoxes seriously and
physicists do think about them and philosophers think about them you can look up you can look up these paradoxes
physicists who are serious Believers I would say or at least non-d doubters of
physicists make measurement error twice. Yet the physicists insist that the result is very reliable that it is
Physicists always thought of the challenge with computing as being the transistor itself. And as you get to higher and higher densities of chips, you get to fewer
physicists discovered it about two decades ago and they started building an underground laboratory essentially for experiments which needed to be shielded by
- Dirac didn't see the beauty in Klein, Gordon, and Fock's relativistic update of the Schrodinger equation, and he wasn't alone. Fellow physicist , Wolfgang Pauli, after reading Klein's paper, wrote him a letter, wishing his physics a speedy recovery. Pauli was known for being pretty savage.
A physicist took an interest in me at the National Science Foundation-- at the National Science Fair in Albuquerque.
a physicist from the mid 1900s.
The physicist who coined the term black hole did it two years after that episode was made.
Distinguished physicist and accomplished novelist.

and physicist , Gregory Benford.
And that fundamentally changes things. So physicists needed a new way to describe the magnetic potential. - The breakthrough came in the 1840s from an undergraduate student named William Thomson.
- And that's showing, throwing no shade on their colleague who did these cool experiments. Many physicists find this idea difficult to swallow.
But on the other hand, if CPT symmetry breaks, it tears down our best theories with it. So physicists started off on a hunt for a special kind of asymmetry. An asymmetry that could explain that one in a billion discrepancy, while also maintaining the larger CPT symmetry.
But then, seven years later, two physicists found that some particles also violated the combined charge parity symmetry. Now physicists were getting really nervous. Two symmetries that they believed were fundamental parts of our universe were broken.
Sometimes physicists , you know, can be very good at like zooming in on what is important and casting the details aside so you can get to the heart of an issue.
out. Congress, the president of the United States, they're demanding these these u sightings to be declassified. So we physicists now are analyzing them to see whether or not they're really real or not. Is there any evidence when we look out at the stars that there is nonhuman life out there? Is there
everything that goes near it gets sucked in. And physicists are quote agnostic. They don't take a position. They simply go
And physicists believe that information-- or a lot of physicists believe that information never actually disappears from the universe.
