Quotes About Frequency

The idea that light is emitted in discrete quanta of energy related to its frequency is puzzling,

As you are aware, E is the most common letter in the English alphabet

I say "every so often" but it's more frequent than that.

The radio comes back even louder than you remember it.

When you pass zero to setTimeout, you're asking JavaScript to run your timeout handler as soon as it possibly can — and this leads to your handler running as frequently as it possibly can.

His coils helped him discover yet another phenomenon that would change the world: radio waves. When Tesla tuned two coils to resonate at the same frequency, he found that he could send and receive signals. He had accidentally built the first radio transmitter and made the first transmissions, methods he would patent within two years. Tesla's continued research in the field of ultra-high-frequency energy led him to conclude that it was only a matter of time until science would discover

The availability heuristic says that we assume that the more available some piece of information is to memory, the more frequently we must have encountered it in the past. This heuristic is partly true. In general, the frequency of experience does affect its availability to memory. But frequency of experience is not the only thing that affects availability to memory. Salience or vividness matters as well.

Finally, power-law distributions have "thick tails," meaning that they have a nonnegligible number of extreme values. You will never meet a 20-foot man, or see a car driving down the freeway at 500 miles per hour. But you could conceivably come across a city of 14 million, or a book that was on the bestseller list for 10 years, or a moon crater big enough to see from the earth with the naked eye—or a war that killed 55 million people.
