Famous Photons Quotes
Thus, the photons which constitute a ray of light behave like intelligent human beings: out of all possible curves they always select the one which will take them most quickly to their goal. — Max Planck
It looks like if you bombard Earth with photons for a while, it can emit a Roadster. — Andrej Karpathy
A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms. — George Wald
By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world. — Johannes Stark
[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts. — Werner Heisenberg
Light. Light I think is knowledge. Knowledge is love. Love is freedom. Freedom is energy. Energy is all. Without light, we can't have images. — Vittorio Storaro
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself. — Michio Kaku
The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity. — Steven Chu
They are the chosen ones who have surrendered ... Once they were particles of light now they are the radiant sun! — Rumi
The camera can photograph thought. — Dirk Bogarde
The photogram, or camera-less record of forms produced by light, which embodies the unique nature of the photographic process, is the real key to photography. — Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms. — George Wald
Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. — George Eastman
The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken. — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The reason it’s nonsense is because the photon doesn’t know that it’s alive or dead. It doesn’t know what experiment it’s participating in. — Naval Ravikant

More Photons Quotes
Even many of the things that we say we have seen, we’ve actually just seen instruments detect those things. We’re watching the effects through instruments and then theorizing that there are other universes out there where the photons are interacting with the photons that we can see. — Naval Ravikant
Neutrinos have mass? i didn't even know they're Catholic!" Robert to Vittoria — Dan Brown
I therefore take the liberty of proposing for this hypothetical new atom, which is not light but plays an essential part in every process of radiation, the name photon. — Gilbert N. Lewis
Light is something like raindrops each little lump of light is called a photon and if the light is all one color, all the "raindrops" are the same. — Richard P. Feynman
Photons have mass? I didn’t even know they were Catholic. — Woody Allen
If a little kid ever asks you just why the sky is blue, you look him or her right in the eye and say, 'It's because of quantum effects involving Rayleigh scattering combined with a lack of violet photon receptors in our retinae.' — Phil Plait
Without an observer at a twenty three degree angle to the light being reflected off a cloud of spherical droplets, there is no rainbow. The whole universe is like that. Our spirits stand at a twenty three degree angle to the universe. There is some new thing created at the contact of photon and retina, some space created between rock and mind. — Sayings
What we see is the solution to a computational problem, our brains compute the most likely causes from the photon absorptions within our eyes. — Hermann von Helmholtz
Photons have neither morals nor visas. — David J. Farber
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons; they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way. — Richard P. Feynman
The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words. — Terence McKenna
Photons are accurately and legitimately described as waves and particles at the same time. They are genuine wavicles. — Neil deGrasse Tyson
When a photon comes down, it interacts with electrons throughout the glass, not just on the surface. The photon and electrons do some kind of dance, the net result of which is the same as if the photon hit only on the surface. — Richard P. Feynman
Our true ancestry is the emergent creativity of the universe. Our forebears were the great inventors who 'learned' how to coalesce hydrogen and helium into stars, to form planets, to sustain life first from mineral nutrients in the sea and later to capture delicious photons, to exploit oxygen for energy rather than be exterminated by it, to diversify via sexual reproduction, to form social groups for greater security and protection of offspring. We are the beneficiaries (and, admittedly, also the victims) of this narrative of emergence. Our 'companions' — John Brewer
Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion. — Roger Penrose
The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time. — Michael Behe
If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly. — Richard P. Feynman
Each cell sends electrical pulses to other cells, up to hundreds of times per second. If you represented each of these trillions and trillions of pulses in your brain by a single photon of light, the combined output would be blinding. — David Eagleman
Human rights are an aspect of natural law, a consequence of the way the universe works, as solid and as real as photons or the concept of pi. The idea of self- ownership is the equivalent of Pythagoras' theorem, of evolution by natural selection, of general relativity, and of quantum theory. Before humankind discovered any of these, it suffered, to varying degrees, in misery and ignorance. — L. Neil Smith
Photons come out of nowhere, they cannot be stored, they can barely be pinned down in time, and they have no home in space whatsoever. That is, light occupies no volume and has no mass. The similarity between a thought and a photon is very deep. Both are born in a region beyond space and time where nature controls all processes in that void which is full of creative intelligence. — Deepak Chopra
It is to be emphasized that no matter how many [amplitude] arrows we draw, add, or multiply, our objective is to calculate a single final arrow for the event . Mistakes are often made by physics students at first because they do not keep this important point in mind. They work for so long analyzing events involving a single photon that they begin to think that the arrow is somehow associated with the photon [rather than with the event]. — Richard P. Feynman
If you need to visualize the soul, think of it as a cross between a wolf howl, a photon and a dribble of dark molasses. But what it really is, as near as I can tell, is a packet of information. It's a program, a piece of hyperspatial software designed explicitly to interface with the Mystery. Not a mystery, mind you - the Mystery. The one that can never be solved. — Tom Robbins
The Heart of Gold fled on silently through the night of space, now on conventional photon drive. Its crew of four were ill as ease knowing that they had been brought together not of their own volition or by simple coincidence, but by some curious perversion of physics- as if relationships between people were susceptible to the same laws that governed the relationships between atoms and molecules — Douglas Adams
