Yukihiro Matsumoto

The orthogonal features, when combined, can explode into complexity.

David Marra

I love that they have such a grand vision but they can't underestimate the complexity of growing in the U.S. market.

Richard Kerr

increases the complexity of their threat to the rule of law.

Kevin Fletcher

The trick was to have the complexity in the background, but with an intuitive interface.

Jim Cullinan

It's unfortunate that the government is playing these kinds of procedural games which are only designed to inject complexity and delay into the process of resolving this case.

Stephen Drake

The media, pundits and demagogues have all but erased that complexity from the public consciousness.

Richard Carmona

Americans are overwhelmed with the complexity of health information. We have hit a point of information overload and the public health message is being diluted.

Deborah Harkness

For me, a $20 wine that drinks like a $40 wine in terms of complexity and interest is a value, while a $5 wine that is not very good is not a value at all in my opinion.

Jason Silva

If the process of life is about moving toward increased complexity and organization, a sort of sublime unfolding of greater and greater self-organizing systems, then we're actually doing pretty well.

Greg Zandlo

They know it's volatile, but if there's going to be quantum growth, that's where it's going to be.

John Polkinghorne

Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.

Stephen Hawking

We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe.

Richard P. Feynman

If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.

Richard P. Feynman

I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain … In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar.

Richard P. Feynman

Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.

Richard P. Feynman

Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory.

Richard P. Feynman

The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay?

Richard P. Feynman

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts.

Richard P. Feynman

It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.

Richard P. Feynman

We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.

Richard P. Feynman

Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show.

Brad Miller

The intersections will be constructed at their ultimate width.

Sandra Forman

It's the ultimate high. It couldn't get better than this.

Neil Stern

It's the ultimate credibility to say, 'Go see who we are,'
