Quotes About Molecules

DNA is a 'thing' - a chemical that sticks to your fingers.

It turned out that the buckyball, the soccer ball, was something of a Rosetta stone of an infinite new class of molecules.

Everything will eventually be dismantled into its constituent atoms and molecules, and continue to exist as the raw material that could ultimately be drawn into the orbit of another nascent star, and some new evolutionary cycle might commence, with some new intelligent civilisation. There is no way of knowing.

The existence of such rays coming from man and all living things has been suspected by scientists for many years. Today is the first experimental proof of their existence. The discovery shows that every atom and every molecule in nature is a continuous radio broadcasting station. . .

Leonardo believed his research had the potential to convert millions to a more spiritual life. Last year he categorically proved the existence of an energy force that unites us all. He actually demonstrated that we are all physically connected… that the molecules in your body are intertwined with the molecules in mine… that there is a single force moving within all of us.

The earth isn't solid. It is made of molecules and atoms, tiny universes filled with space. It is a place of mystery, light, and magic, if you only open your eyes.

The coronavirus crisis demonstrated the degree to which digitalization has become a competitor with transportation, using electrons to connect people rather than molecules to move them.

Hydrogen 62% Oxygen 24% Carbon 13% Nitrogen 1.1% Other

Hormones get no respect. We think of them as the elusive chemicals that make us a bit moody, but these magical little molecules do so much more.

The problem is how do molecules react. Because if you want to transform a molecule into something useful or something you're interested in, it helps a lot to understand the structure. That means you can explore much more complicated systems, much more complicated reactions.

The structure of many cellular macromolecules has been revealed at the atomic level using x-ray crystallography.

If we but give it time, a work of art 'can rap and knock and enter our souls' and re-align us - all our molecules - to make us whole again.

The structural or biogenetic relations of plant products as deduced from the recognizable architectural components of the molecules have been consistent guides in my investigations.

The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids.

One day I discovered that one could get the barrier to internal rotation in ethane approximately right using this method. This was the beginning of my work on organic molecules.

The reliability of stools? Solids, liquids, gases, the dance of atoms, the bounce and race of molecules, ethers, electrical charges. The eyes and habits of illusion. Retinal images, bogus images, traveling to the brain. The pupils trying to tell the truth to the inner eye. The eye of the heart. The eye of the head. The eye of the mind. All seeing differently.

While it is the most common element, hydrogen does not naturally exist by itself, except in rare instances. It is derived by breaking up molecules. Today most hydrogen is produced from natural gas and coal.

Some molecules were stable. . . . These became letters in a new alphabet. They, too, reacted to form still larger clusters, a few of which survived and accrued. . . . the first genetic words.

All the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born. But before prehistory there was the prehistory of the prehistory and there was the never and there was the yes. It was ever so. I don't know why, but I do know that the universe never began. Make no mistake, I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort.

Todo en el mundo comenzó con un sí. Una molécula dijo sí a otra molécula y nació la vida.

Tudo no mundo começou com um sim. Uma molécula disse sim a outra molécula e nasceu a vida. Mas antes da pré-história havia a pré-história da pré-história e havia o nunca e havia o sim. Sempre houve. Não sei o quê, mas sei o que o universo jamais começou.

Hitting the first molecules of the upper atmosphere created friction that merely warmed the rod. The lower it fell, the more the heat built, until the entire length of the rod glowed red then yellow, and, finally, a brilliant white.

Somewhere along the line, nucleotides were edged apart to let new ones in; maybe viruses moved in, carrying along bits of other, foreign genomes; radiation from the sun or from outer space caused tiny cracks in the molecule, and humanity was conceived." – Lewis Thomas
