Willis Eugene Lamb: Frases em inglês

“In fact, there really is not a new law of nature. It was all in the theory to begin with but nobody worked it out.”

relating his experimental confirmation of the fine structure spectrum of hydrogen, as reported by [Jagdish Mehra, The historical development of quantum theory, Springer, 2001, 0387950869, 1037]

“I liked quantum mechanics very much. The subject was hard to understand but easy to apply to a large number of interesting problems.”

“In his 1930 book, Dirac took for granted that measurements could be made, but was very vague about what was actually involved.”

“Neither Dirac nor von Neumann discussed his measurements in physical terms.”
