Quotes About Acceleration

I love to drive fast. It's a rush.

Because I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing, rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated.

You might expect gravity would slow it down, but it's just expanding faster and faster.

Fourth is Lambda, the cosmological constant, which determines the acceleration of the universe.

The deep space transport uses a new type of propulsion system to send astronauts through space, called solar electric propulsion. The huge solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity. This is used to strip away the electrons from a gas (like xenon), creating ions. An electric field then shoots these charged ions out one end of the engine, creating thrust. Unlike chemical engines, which can only fire for a few minutes, ion engines can slowly accelerate for months or even years.

el tiempo se frena más dentro de un cohete cuanto más rápido se mueve.

So in addition to the Big Freeze and Big Crunch, a third alternative began to emerge from the data, the Big Rip, which is like the Big Freeze on steroids. It is a vastly accelerated time frame for the life cycle of the universe.

Whenever I think about ancient cultures nostalgia seizes me. Perhaps this is nothing but envy of the sweet slowness of the history of that time. The era of ancient Egyptian culture lasted for several thousand years; the era of Greek antiquity for almost a thousand. In this respect, a single human life imitates the history of mankind; at first it is plunged into immobile slowness, and then only gradually does it accelerate more and more.

El tiempo de la vida se convirtió para él en un simple obstáculo que hay que superar a velocidades cada vez mayores.

Since gravity and acceleration are equivalent, if you feel gravity's influence, you must be accelerating. Einstein argued that only those observers who feel no force at all—including the force of gravity—are justified in declaring that they are not accelerating.

Progress just means bad things happen faster.

När hjulet kom, gick allting på tok för fort för oss.

I made a quick calculation: a 180-pound man, falling thirty feet under an acceleration of 32.2 feet per second square—I drew the shade and turned away from the window and closed my eyes.

Most of us don't realize that real estate investments allow our money to accelerate at a greater pace than typical paper investments.

We live in a world of accelerating change, where the future is less and less an extrapolation of the past. Change is unrelenting, pitiless, and occasionally shocking.

It's like compound interest with a turbocharger.

Imagine we're in a spaceship moving steadily through space and we throw a ball across the ship from side to side. It will move in a straight line, because both the ball and the ship are moving forwards at the same speed. But if the ship accelerates, the ball's path will become curved, as the ship moves ahead more quickly. The straight line path has become curved from the viewpoint of the ship. Similarly, Einstein reasoned, a straight line path in space would be curved by gravity.

Velocity was paramount.

I began training the young players at Nova Iguacu and at Boavista, and I enjoyed it. I had always wanted to be a coach, and this accelerated the process.

It may be that there is no such thing as an equable motion, whereby time may be accurately measured. All motions may be accelerated or retarded, but the true, or equable, progress of absolute time is liable to no change.

So I think that life is sort of like a drumbeat. It has a rhythm and sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slower, and maybe what's happening is this drumbeat is just accelerating and it's gotten to the point where I can't hear between the beats anymore and it's just a hum.

Society is fast - fast food, fast cars, fast everything.

Again, we all have negative feelings, but not all negativity produces disease. To create disease, negative emotions have to be dominant, and what accelerates the process is knowing the negative thought to be toxic but giving it permission to thrive in your consciousness anyway.

It is important that we are coming up on the millennium because what I am experiencing, just being one person out of billions, is the feeling of acceleration. I experience this through my contact with other people.
