“Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.” –Democritus
“It is important to realize in physics today, that we have no knowledge of what energy is … It is an abstract thing in that it does not tell us the mechanism or the reasons …”
-Feynman
“The great initial success of the quantum theory cannot convert me to believe in that fundamental game of dice.” –Einstein (1944)
“If all this damned quantum jumping were really here to stay, I should be sorry I ever got involved with quantum theory.” –Schrödinger
