# Otto Stern

Otto Stern (17 February 1888 – 17 August 1969) was a German American physicist and 1943 Nobel laureate in physics "for his contribution to the development of the molecular ray method and his discovery of the magnetic moment of the proton."

## Quotes

* A simple calculation shows that from the classical theory follows that we should find a broadening of the beam with the maximum intensity on the place of the beam without field. However, from the quantum theory follows that we should find there no intensity at all, and deflected molecules on both sides. The beam should split up in two beams corresponding to the two orientations of the magnet. The experiment decided in favor of the quantum theory.
** the conclusion of the historical Stern-Gerlach experiment, in The Method of Molecular Rays, Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1946.

## Attributed

* "Shall we do it?" "Well, then let's go, we shall do it!" Otto Stern asking, Walther Gerlach answering.

## Quotes

* We understand many things about particles and their interactions, but this and other mysteries make it very clear that we are nowhere close to a full understanding.
** Martinus Veltman (2003). Facts and mysteries in elementary particle physics. World Scientific. p. 3. ISBN 981238149X.
* Great physics does not automatically imply complicated mathematics!
** Martinus Veltman (2003). Facts and mysteries in elementary particle physics. World Scientific. p. 15. ISBN 981238149X.
* The reader may ask why in this book string theory and supersymmetry have not been discussed. ... The fact is that this book is about physics and this implies that the theoretical ideas discussed must be supported by experimental facts. Neither supersymmetry and string theory satisfy this criterion. They are figments of the theoretical mind.

# Eugene Wigner

Eugene Paul Wigner (November 17, 1902 – January 1, 1995) was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who also contributed to mathematical physics. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 "for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles."

## Quotes

* A deep sense of humor and an unusual ability for telling stories and jokes endeared Johnny even to casual acquaintances. He could be blunt when necessary, but was never pompous. A mind of von Neumann's inexorable logic had to understand and accept much that most of us do not want to accept and do not even wish to understand. This fact colored many of von Neumann's moral judgments. "It is just as foolish to complain that people are selfish and treacherous as it is to complain that the magnetic field does not increase unless the electric field has a curl. Both are laws of nature." Only scientific intellectual dishonesty and misappropriation of scientific results could rouse his indignation and ire — but these did — and did almost equally whether he himself, or someone else, was wronged.
** Biographical memoir: "John von Neumann (1903 - 1957)" in Year book of the American Philosophical Society (1958); later in Symmetries and Reflections : Scientific Essays of Eugene P. Wigner (1967), p. 261
* A possible explanation of the physicist's use of mathematics to formulate his laws of nature is that he is a somewhat irresponsible person. As a result, when he finds a connection between two quantities which resembles a connection well-known from mathematics, he will jump at the conclusion that the connection is that discussed in mathematics simply because he does not know of any other similar connection.
** "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences," Communications in Pure and Applied Mathematics, February 1960.
* The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve.
** "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences," Communications in Pure and Applied Mathematics, February 1960, final sentence.
* In science, it is not speed that is the most important. It is the dedication, the commitment, the interest and the will to know something and to understand it — these are the things that come first.
** in an interview by István Kardos (1978). Scientists face to face. Corvina Kiadó. p. 370. ISBN 963130373X.
* Where in the Schrödinger equation do you put the joy of being alive?
** As quoted by Freeman Dyson from a private conversation, Infinite in All Directions (1988)

# Cliff Morrison

Cliff Morrison is an activist and a nurse who established the first hospital ward for treating AIDS patients in the United States. Ward 5B was established in San Francisco General Hospital in 1983. When the ward was opened there was little known about this illness, and patients with the disease were regarded as worthy of disgrace and/or disapproval.

## Quotes

* I would go in patients' rooms and you could tell that they hadn't had a bath. They weren't being taken care of.
** 1st AIDS Ward '5B' Fought To Give Patients Compassionate Care, Dignified Deaths (JUNE 26, 2019heard on Fresh Air Terry Gross)
* The stigmatization extended far beyond the illness itself, Cliff explains. “It was as if the door to darkness had been opened and all the taboos were out there—sex, death, homosexuality, drug use ... Things that people had never heard discussed openly before.”
    Aren’t Men Supposed to Be Doctors?
    Cliff remembers feeling “almost ashamed or embarrassed” with the decision to enter a profession that, even though more males were becoming nurses, was still so heavily dominated by women. “But, I’ll get an associate degree in nursing,” he thought. “I can make $10,000 a year working as a nurse and with that I’ll be able to put myself through medical school.”

* “People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”

# United States anti-abortion movement

The United States anti-abortion movement (also called the pro-life movement or right-to-life movement) contains elements opposing induced abortion on both moral and religious grounds and supports its legal prohibition or restriction. Advocates generally argue that human life begins at conception and that the human zygote, embryo or fetus is a person and therefore has a right to life. The anti-abortion movement includes a variety of organizations, with no single centralized decision-making body. There are diverse arguments and rationales for the anti-abortion stance.

## Quotes

* The most important thing is, can we agree on the goal? Is the goal the absolute abolition of abortion in our nation?
** Tom Ascol as quoted by Elizabeth Dias, "One Week That Revealed the Struggles of the Anti-Abortion Movement", New York Times (June 14, 2024)
* Your body, my choice.
** Pro-life slogan coined by Nick Fuentes, parodying the Pro-choice slogan "My body, my choice" (November 5, 2024), quoted by Moira Donegan, "'Your body, my choice': what misogynistic Trump supporters feel about sexual power", The Guardian (November 13, 2024)

* We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins.
