The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of physics, and if the probabilities of error are greater, it is only because history does not deal with as many humans as physics does atoms, so that individual variations count for more.
- Isaac Asimov
In case you haven't noticed, they're moving a lot faster. I don't know about the laws of physics on your planet, but where I come from an object moving at subclass speed can't catch up to one running at starclass. But if you know something about turbines, thrusters and engines, quantum or classical physics that I've somehow missed, then please enlighten me.

- Sherrilyn Kenyon
I tell you about a fact and truth. In physical reality of matter,
there's no such thing as an imaginary spirit nor spiritual ghost.
They are also made of matter, but totally different in size and
laws of physics which rule their life and the way they interact.
- Toba Beta
Blackhole doesn't crush those things in the vicinity.
It miniaturises everything in different laws of physics.
- Toba Beta
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
- Albert Einstein
The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.
- Nancy Cartwright
The remarkable feature of physical laws is that they apply everywhere, whether or not you choose to believe in them. After the laws of physics, everything else is opinion.
- Neil Degrasse Tyson
I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.
- David Deutsch
Other than the laws of physics, rules have never really worked out for me.
- Craig Ferguson
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
- Richard P Feynman
All you are is a bag of particles acting out the laws of physics. That to me is pretty clear.
- Brian Greene
when you thumb your nose at the laws of physics like you've been doing, the universe tends to get you back through biology. Atticus
- Kevin Hearne
In the parallel universe the laws of physics are suspended.
What goes up does not necessarily come down, a body at rest does not tend to stay at
rest and not every action can be counted on to provoke an equal and opposite reaction.
Time, 'too, is different. It may run in circles, flow backward, skip about from now to
then. The very arrangement of molecules is fluid: Tables can be clocks, faces,
flowers.
- Susanna Kaysen
The only 'ironclad rules' in writing fiction are the laws of physics and the principles of grammar, and even those can be bent.
- Val Kovalin
Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.
- Robert Lanza
That's absolutely correct and in addition to that life just isn't an accident of the laws of physics. There's a long list of experiments that suggest just the opposite.
- Robert Lanza
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.
- Benoit Mandelbrot
The laws of physics have already been violated. What happens if they decide to press charges?
- Seanan Mcguire
For all the clever jokes that could be made here involving "mind" and "matter" there is one sure and certain variation you can take with you to the grave: "In the grand scheme of things you don't matter very much, and the laws of physics don't mind at all.
- Patrick E Mclean
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.
- Ralph Merkle
I began peering into the corners of the room, making sure all the shadows were cast by objects and obeying known laws of physics.
- Karen Marie Moning
Where does love go? When something you have taped on the wall falls off, what has happened to the stickum? It has relaxed. It has accumulated an assortment of hairs and fuzzies. It has said "Fuck it" and given up. It doesn't go anywhere special, it's just gone. Energy is created, and then it is destroyed. So much for the laws of physics. So much for chemistry. So much for not so much.
- Lorrie Moore
Nothing is accidental in the universe - this is one of my Laws of Physics - except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity.
- Joyce Carol Oates
We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness, which then produces mathematics, which can then encode in a succinct and inspiring way the very underlying laws of physics that gave rise to it.
- Roger Penrose
No inanimate object is ever fully determined by the laws of physics and chemistry.
- Michael Polanyi
Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.
- Terry Riley
The difficulty lay with the mind accommodating itself to the notion of the plane, with all its weight, defying gravity, staying aloft. She understood the aerodynamics of flight, could comprehend the laws of physics that made flight possible, but her heart, at the moment, would have none of it. Her heart knew the plane could fall out of the sky.
- Anita Shreve
Anyone who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my apartment. (I live on the twenty-first floor.)
- Alan Sokal
All those stories about time travel, they were comforting, and at the same time it bothered me how they always made it seem fun and how everything fit into place, how things could only ever be how they were supposed to be, how the heroes found a way to change the world while still obeying the laws of physics.
