Quotes About Energy

In summary, there is nothing much to the conversion of energy into matter and vice versa. The first actual transformation of light into matter without the participation of other particles, accomplished in 1997, generated a huge response from the media. The technical problems encountered in order to achieve this goal were enormous-but there was nothing particularly new in the result itself. The same holds for the recent assembly of antimatter from antiparticles.

While the effective electrical charge of a proton decreases with distance, the strength of the effective color charge of a quark increases with distance.

Once the thermal radiation reaches the surface temperature of the Sun-some 6000 degrees Celsius-we perceive it as white light. At still higher temperatures, 8500 degrees Celsius, the light will be blue. Beyond this, thermal radiation passes into the X-ray range. And so it goes, ad infinitum: the higher the temperature, the higher the frequency of thermal radiation.

The uncertainty relation tells us that an infinitely large energy corresponds to infinitely small distances.

In general, the removal of energy from gravitationally bound systems accelerates the movement of their components. This also goes for systems whose components move about randomly: the faster their random motion, the higher their temperature. This means that the temperature of gravitationally bound systems increase as they give off energy.

Considering the energy balance, the reduction in size and the rise in temperature of the black hole form a feedback mechanism that ultimately must lead to its explosion: The more energy it radiates, the hotter it gets. The hotter it is, the more energy it radiates. And as its energy rises, the ultimate outcome is inescapable: The black hole must explode.

Police work wouldn't be possible without coffee," Wallander said. "No work would be possible without coffee." They pondered the importance of coffee in silence.

What is a home without children? Quiet.

Through centuries of centuries, fire and water face each other; the fire, upright, buoyant and leaping; the water flat, creeping, gliding, widening its lines and its surface. When they touch, is it the water which hisses and roars, or is it the fire?

L'élan vital [the vital spirit].

All the pieces have been arranged with a view to the best possible funk

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

not until he has recognized and organized his own energies as social energies (and we shall presently see the exact meaning of these terms), i.e., when the political form and power (the state) no longer exist outside him, above him—not until then is human (as distinguished from political) emancipation achieved. The road leading to freedom is full of obstacles and accidents, especially the political emancipations that are mistaken for true liberations.

Jazz is rhythm and meaning.

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.

your fears (and upping the ante, making the opposite statement not just the fear in reverse, but something even more attractive) empowers and energizes you to start thinking differently, to attract the kind of answers that,

Joy is the vital air of the soul.

A man without passion is only a latent force, only a possibility, like a stone waiting for the blow from the iron to give forth sparks.

Education should try to lessen the obstacles, diminish the friction, invigorate the energy, and should train minds to react, not at haphazard, but by choice, on the lines of force that attract their world. What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn.

Any schoolboy could see that man as a force must be measured by motion, from a fixed point.

Power when wielded by abnormal energy is the most serious of facts.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

No one is so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.
