Quotes About Mechanics

When I was acting, I was always asking abut the mechanics of filmmaking. I decided I would learn what everyone on set was doing, so I would feel less threatened.

I built Go Karts when I was 10 or 11, and threw my brothers down the hill in them.

Even in a manuscript form, 'The Girl on the Train' sort of leapt off the pages as a contemporary suspense drama-slash-thriller. It has all the mechanics of a thriller, but at the heart of it was a great character study.

My throwing motion is what it is.

I think it's getting proven I've got good mechanics; I make my free throws. I handle the ball, too. I can do a lot of things I didn't do in college.

To improve my free throws I went back to the mechanics and really learning how to have form and shoot the ball, so I have to get comfortable with that.

Some golf instructors get overly technical and teach the mechanics of the ideal swing. That approach didn't work for me. So, I found a pro that didn't insist that I learn Tiger's swing. He accepted my physical limitations and improved my game by focusing on the minimal golf skills that I have.

Put the right pitching mechanics together with good health, and there's nothing surprising about lasting a long time.

Every time I step onto an airplane, I turn to the right and take a good, hard stare into the maw of the engine. I don't know what I'm looking for. I just do it.

Leonardo had considerable interest in geometry, especially for its practical applications in mathematics. In his words: Mechanics is the paradise of the mathematical sciences, because by means of it one comes to the fruits of mathematics.

Moreover, Galileo argued that by pursuing science using the language of mechanical equilibrium and mathematics, humans could understand the divine mind.

Simply put, Leonardo replaced the mystic black bile, faculties, and spirits that permeated the writings of Galen, Avicenna, de Luzzi, and others, with his physical powers of movement, weight, force, and percussion - the building blocks of mechanics. he further used these mechanical concepts to demystify a whole host of physiological processes.

Master mechanics were as eccentric and idiosyncratic as Episcopal priests

I thought this couldn't happen in astronomy. Isn't celestial mechanics supposed to be an exact science? So we poor backward biologists were always being told.

hydraulics accepted the weight.

I never liked riding in helicopters because there's a fair probability that the bottom part will get going around as fast as the top part.

Every new discovery in science brings with it a host of new problems, just as the invention of the automobile brought with it gas stations, roads, garages, mechanics, and a thousand other subsidiary details.

He had made a discovery of the first magnitude. It opened up an entirely new approach to physics, which led to statistical mechanics, to a proper understanding of thermodynamics and to the use of probability distributions in quantum mechanics. If he had done nothing else, this breakthrough would have been enough to put him among the world's great scientists.

I had always realized it was desirable to gear down the jet.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
