In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined. ↗

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet. ↗

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them. ↗

The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding. ↗

In fact any experiment that measures a quantum effect is one in which the quantum effect is aligned with the behavior of some heavy, macroscopic object; that's how we measure it. ↗

The field of quantum valence fluctuations was another older interest which became much more active during this period, partly as a consequence of my own efforts. ↗

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter. ↗
