Quotes About Mechanics

If you want to make a serious, rugged, reliable robot, you can start with the Create platform and just build stuff on top of it.
~ Colin Angle
it should; it's part and parcel of the machinery of quantum mechanics, and a number of clever experiments have demonstrated its validity in the real world.
~ Sean Carroll
In quantum mechanics, no matter how many individual pieces make up the system you are thinking about, there is only one wave function . Even if we consider the entire universe and everything inside it, there is still only one wave function, sometimes redundantly known as the "wave function of the universe.
~ Sean Carroll
Now comes the real magic. In pre-relativistic Newtonian mechanics, momentum is represented by a three-vector given by mass times velocity, . In the world of relativity, we define the four-momentum in an analogous way, as mass times four-velocity:
~ Sean Carroll
Even after all this time, I keep forgetting that heroes can be found in unlikely places and persons -- like mechanics who can turn into coyotes.
~ Patricia Briggs
HOOKE'S LAW (1676)
~ Steven Johnson
Laplace's Demon, the hypothetical imp that knows the instantaneous positions and velocities of every particle in the universe, was said to be able to calculate the entire future or past by plugging these values into the equations that express the laws of mechanics and electromagnetism.
~ Steven Pinker
People spend so much time in their cars, and it's a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.
~ Jordana Brewster
Function and man appear synonymous because the function can only be pointed toward by being the function. There is no being except in a mode of being. [...] Both scholar and Christian are functioning in identical ways, just under different metaphor, and both are evading the mechanics of being.
~ Joseph Chilton Pearce
Production Mechanisms Production mechanism describes a class of mechanics that make a resource conveniently available to a player. These include sources that bring the resource directly into the player's hands, but they can also include special buildings, characters, or other facilities that gather resources from the landscape and make them available to the player.
~ Ernest Adams
Designing the core mechanics consists of identifying the key entities and mechanics in the game and writing specifications to document the nature of the entities and the functioning of the mechanics. This is the very heart of the game designer's job, and the more complex the game, the longer it takes—
~ Ernest Adams
Unless your game is a just-for-fun simulation such as Super Mario Kart or Beetle Adventure Racing!, vehicle simulation is the most technologically oriented of games, so the core mechanics of the game are almost entirely about physics.
~ Ernest Adams
To someone who's playing a game for the first time, the world is vital to creating and sustaining her interest. The other purpose of a game's world is to sell the game in the first place. It's not the game's mechanics that make a customer pick up a box in a store but the fantasy it offers: who she'll be, where she'll be, and what she'll be doing there if she plays that game. The
~ Ernest Adams
Core Mechanics The core mechanics consist of the data and the algorithms that precisely define the game's rules and internal operations.
~ Ernest Adams
Con endoesqueletos accionados con servomotor.
~ Ernest Cline
Prognoses which have been made contend that our technology will terminate in pure necromancy. If so, everything we now experience would be only a departure and mechanics would become refined to a degree that would no longer require any crude embodiment. Lights, words, yes even thoughts would be sufficient. (1957)
~ Ernst Junger
Thus we can see that the mechanics of war not only mean increased power but also make the highest demands on the men concerned. The best men will have the best machinery and the best bachinery will have the best men – for the two are inseparable.
~ Ernst Junger
I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard, and I feel that it is.
~ Al Unser
You have to have sound mechanics to repeat the same delivery each time. That's the hard part. Since I don't bowl all the time I'm not consistent with my mechanics.
~ Mookie Betts
Repeating my mechanics was difficult. I was always trying to do something different to make it click.
~ Drew Pomeranz
If I could do anything, I'd be an engineer of some sort. I used to build robots.
~ Genesis Rodriguez
I used to spend hours just sitting in an old wreck of a car with a stickshift; I'd just sit there and shift.
~ Adam West
It used to be that if your automobile broke, the teenager down the street with the wrench could fix it. Now you have to have sophisticated equipment that can deal with microchips. We're entering a world in which the complexity of the devices and the system of interconnecting devices is beyond our capability to easily understand.
~ Howard Rheingold
It had more layers than an onion. These writers meant business. There was a level for everybody. Your major could be celestial mechanics, and there'd be celestial-mechanics jokes.
~ Billy West
