Page "The Death Gate Cycle" Paragraph 36
from
Wikipedia
:" Some years ago, I was working on a fantasy series called Death Gate with Margaret Weis.
We needed two competing systems of magic that made sense.
I remembered a saying of my old friend, Jeff Grubb.
He defined quantum physics as " figures, figures, figures, figures, figures ... and then God does something ... figures, figures, figures, figures, figures.
" So, in order to create a believable pair of magic systems, I researched what amounted to Newtonian versus Quantum mechanics and, later, competing visions of quantum theory.
I read popular science books regarding Relativity, quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, parallel universes and chaos theory.
The results were a wonderful and sensible pair of magic systems that made sense because they were modeled on quantum and chaos theories.
