Quotes About Gravity

Time is in-form-ation. Fuller simplifies Einstein into a one-sentence poem: Matter is knots in energy. Matter is interference patterns. All radiations travel in geodesics, due to gravity which curves their trajectories. Where these trajectories cross, interference results: knots in energy, perceived by us as matter. The world of matter is the tuned-in. The not-yet-tuned-in is not not, it is merely not knot. Dig?

The pig was so earnest. So sincere. So very "there." The pig brought gravity and mythic import to this well-worn fairy tale.

It is a pilgrim's spiral path leads to this mountain's brow...It can never become familiar; you are lost the moment you set foot there. You know no path, but wander, thrilled, over the bare and pathless rock, as if it were solidified air and cloud...It is as if you trod with awe the face of a god turned up, unwittingly but helplessly, yielding to the laws of gravity. -Henry David Thoreau

We should think of Earth as our sun. We all revolve around it, and it exerts a huge drag on us.

Henry Ford was afraid that the amount of dirt that was being removed to make room for the foundation of the Empire State Building was so great that it would have a disastrous effect on the rotation of the Earth. Not a genius.

The science of Interstellar lies in all four domains: Newtonian, relativistic, quantum, and quantum gravity. Correspondingly, some of the science is known to be true, some is an educated guess, and some is speculation.

As the Ranger carries Cooper deeper and deeper into the bowels of Gargantua, he continues to see the universe above himself. Chasing the light that brings him that image is an infalling singularity. The singularity is weak at first, but it grows stronger rapidly, as more and more stuff falls into Gargantua and piles up in a thin sheet (Chapter 27). Einstein's laws dictate this.

Einstein's law of time warps says that Everyting likes to live where it is going to age more slowly, and gravity pulls it there.

The giant black holes in the cores of galaxies, a million to 20 billion times heavier than the Sun, therefore, cannot have been born in the death of a star. They must have formed in some other way, perhaps by the agglomeration of many smaller black holes; perhaps by the collapse of massive clouds of gas.

De todas las ideas concebidas por la mente humana, desde los unicornios y las gárgolas a la bomba de hidrógeno, la más fantástica es, quizá, la del agujero negro:

Black holes are made from warped space and warped time. Nothing else—no matter whatsoever.

Journey into Gravity and Spacetime (Wheeler, 1990).

singularities (places where space and time are infinitely warped)

These are sets of rules that, despite existing only in our imagination, we believe to be as real and inviolable as gravity. 'If

I still feel like I'm jumping on an elevator -- weightless and pulled down at the same time.

Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits.

The event horizon is the point at which the speed required to leave the vicinity of the black hole (the escape velocity) is the speed of light, and because Einstein's theory tells us that no material object can reach that speed, nothing can escape from within the event horizon.

L'hérédité a ses lois, comme la pesanteur.

That is what makes it all so fascinating, you see. Loving you is like gravity or the daily sunrise. It is a mystery that I know I will be content to explore for the rest of my life.

Toplum yasalari yercekimi yasalarina benzemez, insan genellikle asagi dogru degil, yukari dogru duser. DoÄŸu'dan Uzakta

Now, I've never flown in space; but the folks who have say that on landing day, you know, you've just spent maybe a week and a half, sometimes two weeks in orbit and you're used to the things happening slowly in space.

The Soyuz craft weighs tons, and you're lying on the floor of it on your back. But the Russians do tell you, remember, before you land, stop talking so you don't bite your tongue off.

Every month, we weigh ourselves to make sure we aren't losing weight. I really have been eating more than I do on Earth to make sure I don't lose too much weight.

On Earth, I weighed 150 pounds; my suit and backpack weighed another 150. 300 pounds. Up there, I weighed only 50. So I could prance around on my toes. It was quite easy to do.
