Quotes About Maxwell

Manipulation is moving together for my advantage. Motivation is moving together for mutual advantage.
~ John C. Maxwell
So, I couldn't care less Joe Manganiello's opinion on anything I have to say on Twitter.
~ Maxwell Jacob Friedman
the entire electromagnetic spectrum— from radar to TV, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, microwaves, and gamma rays— is nothing but Maxwell waves, which in turn are vibrating Faraday force fields.
~ Michio Kaku
Commenting on the importance of Maxwell's equations, Einstein wrote that they are the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton.
~ Michio Kaku
If we now take a Kaluza-Klein theory defined in 4+N dimensions and then curl up N dimensions, we will find that the equations split into two pieces. The first piece is Einstein's usual equations, which we retrieve as expected. But the second piece will not be the theory of Maxwell. We find that the remainder is precisely the Yang-Mills theory, which forms the basis of all subatomic physics! This is the key to turning the symmetries of wood into the symmetries of marble.
~ Michio Kaku
Within the modified equations, Kaluza found the ones Einstein had already used successfully to describe gravity in the familiar three dimensions of space and one of time. But because his new formulation included an additional dimension of space, Kaluza found an additional equation. Lo and behold, when Kaluza derived this equation he recognized it as the very one Maxwell had discovered half a century earlier to describe the electromagnetic field.
~ Brian Greene
Condon, quick on his feet, replied that the accusation was untrue. He was not a revolutionary in physics. He raised his right hand: "I believe in Archimedes' Principle, formulated in the third century B.C. I believe in Kepler's laws of planetary motion, discovered in the seventeenth century. I believe in Newton's laws.…" And on he went, invoking the illustrious names of Bernoulli, Fourier, Ampère, Boltzmann, and Maxwell.
~ Carl Sagan
The remarkable Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell worked out in the early 1860s that light was an interaction between electricity and magnetism. And this meant that in principle, you could have an electric wave creating a magnetic wave, creating an electric wave and so on, hauling itself through empty space by its own bootstraps without any material medium required – it is the electromagnetic field that acts as the material.
~ Brian Clegg
But as with Maxwell's Demon, so now. Either she could not communicate, or he did not exist.
~ Thomas Pynchon
Soul is a colourless thing. I don't think you have to be a black person to be automatically soulful. I respect Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake; they do what they do. For me, my philosophy has always been 'contribution before competition.'
~ Maxwell
Light control works; close control leads to overreaction, sometimes causing the machinery to break into pieces. In a famous paper "On Governors," published in 1867, Maxwell modeled the behavior and showed mathematically that tightly controlling the speed of engines leads to instability.
~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Faraday ve Maxwell, Newton'un so?uk dünyas?na yeni bir unsur katt?: elektromanyetik alan. Her yere yay?lm??, radyo dalgalar?n? ta??yan, uzay? dolduran, bir gölün yüzeyi gibi titre?ip dalgalanabilen ve elektrik kuvvetini "ta??yan" bu alan, gerçek bir olguydu.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Our entire current technology is founded on the use of a physical thing-electromagnetic waves-that was not discovered empirically: it was predicted by Maxwell, simply by searching for the mathematical description accounting for the intuition Faraday got from bobbins and needles. This is the outstanding power of theoretical physics.
~ Carlo Rovelli
We are particularly fortunate to be able to include a contribution from W. Maxwell (Max) Cowan, who passed away on June 30, 2002.
~ Larry R. Squire
Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.
~ Maxwell Bodenheim, unverified
I am far more pragmatic than the stereotype of the sex permits.
~ Ann Maxwell
The bushy-bearded Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) subsequently devised wonderful equations that specified, among other things, how changing electric fields create magnetic fields and how changing magnetic fields create electrical ones. A changing electric field could, in fact, produce a changing magnetic field that could, in turn, produce a changing electric field, and so on. The result of this coupling was an electromagnetic wave.
~ Walter Isaacson
Personnel determines the potential of the team. Vision determines the direction of the team. Work ethic determines the preparation of the team. Leadership determines the success of the team.
~ John C. Maxwell
James Clark Maxwell
~ Chuck Missler
My daughter loves romances. She's a Ph.D student at George Washington University, and when my first book without a clinch cover came out, she said to me: 'Finally, a book I can read on the Metro.'
~ Ann Maxwell
Had we really succeeded therefore in altering the period of vibration, which Maxwell, as I have just noted, held to be impossible? Or was there some disturbing circumstances from one or more factors which distorted the result?
~ Pieter Zeeman
Maxwell was a brilliant scientist who counted among his many interests optics and color, the mathematics of ovals, thermodynamics, the rings of Saturn, measuring latitude with a bowl of treacle, and the question of how cats land upright while conserving angular momentum when dropped upside down.
~ Lisa Randall
This case against Ghislaine Maxwell is the prequel to the earlier case that we brought against Jeffrey Epstein.
~ Audrey Strauss
Leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. If you are being salt and light as Jesus commanded, then you have begun to obey God's call to leadership.
~ John C. Maxwell
