Steven Weinberg
"What we call 'laws of nature' are really just descriptions of how things behave."
Steven Weinberg
"Physics is not just about equations; it's about understanding the deep structure of reality."
Steven Weinberg
"The laws of physics leave room for chemistry, biology, and the emergence of consciousness."
