Julian Seymour Schwinger Zitate

Julian Seymour Schwinger war einer der führenden US-amerikanischen theoretischen Physiker. Zusammen mit Richard P. Feynman und Shin’ichirō Tomonaga erhielt er 1965 den Physik-Nobelpreis „für ihre grundlegende Leistung in der Quantenelektrodynamik, mit tiefgehenden Konsequenzen für die Elementarteilchenphysik“.

Julian Seymour Schwinger: Zitate auf Englisch

“Is the purpose of theoretical physics to be no more than a cataloging of all the things that can happen when particles interact with each other and separate? Or is it to be an understanding at a deeper level in which there are things that are not directly observable (as the underlying quantized fields are) but in terms of which we shall have a more fundamental understanding?”

Quantum Mechanics - Symbolism of Atomic Measurements (2001) p. 24 f.

“If my history lesson has done nothing else, it should have reminded you that, during any given period in the evolving history of physics, the prevailing, main line, climate of opinion was likely as not to be wrong, as seen in the light of later developments. And yet, in those earlier times, with relatively few individuals involved, change did occur, but slowly… What is fundamentally different in the present day situation in high energy physics is that large numbers of workers are involved, with corresponding pressures to conformity and resistance to any deflection in direction of the main stream, and that the time scale of one scientific generation is much too long for the rapid pace of experimental discovery. I also have a secret fear that new generations may not necessarily have the opportunity to become familiar with dissident ideas.”

“Perhaps the most important contribution to science that the Royal Society has made in its three centuries of existence is its early role in publishing Newton's masterful account of his discoveries.”
