Murray Gell-Mann is an American physicist who discovered many things about elementary particles and wrote The Quark and the Jaguar.

Quotes by Murray Gell-Mann in Time One

All the known elementary particles … are provisionally described today by a theory that has come to be called the standard model.

Quantum mechanics, that mysterious, confusing discipline, which none of us really understands but which we know how to use … is not a theory, but rather a framework within which we believe any correct theory must fit.

...it has become increasingly clear that quantum mechanics must apply to the whole universe.
