It is good a philosopher should remind himself, now and then, that he is a particle pontificating on infinity. ↗

It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to say that it has to do with the fuzziness it introduces. ↗

You have that one basic string, but it can vibrate in many ways. But we're trying to get a lot of particles because experimental physicists have discovered a lot of particles. ↗

Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think. ↗

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. ↗

Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles. ↗

We have now seen that there is no particle of evidence for the Egyptian origin of Tarot cards. ↗

Human beings are creators, flinging powerful images into the minds of their fellow men. And all of these images are built of tiny particles of thought. ↗

The application of a strong magnetic field enables the measurement of the energy of the most penetrating particles to be carried out, and the method may be capable of still further extension and improvement. ↗

The ability to work together has to be in the blood of particle physicists. They learn very early on that it is impossible to advance on one's own and that constant exchange is necessary. ↗
