It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger. ↗

The NFL today has bigger, stronger, bodies than ever, moving faster than ever, hitting a stationary object harder than ever before - so the physics of the hit have changed. ↗

I had no new ideas on the physics we might learn, and I could not compete with the younger generation. ↗

Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not. ↗

‎In modern physics, there is no such thing as "nothing." Even in a perfect vacuum, pairs of virtual particles are constantly being created and destroyed. The existence of these particles is no mathematical fiction. Though they cannot be directly observed, the effects they create are quite real. The assumption that they exist leads to predictions that have been confirmed by experiment to a high degree of accuracy. ↗

Teaching physics at the University, and more general lecturing to wider audiences has been a major concern. ↗

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics. ↗

When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed. ↗
