Quotes About Gravity

Were it not for gravity one man might hurl another by a puff of his breath into the depths of space, beyond recall for all eternity.

Basically, most good science in space flight has to do with the behavior of the human body in space. That is where we are lacking info, and where info can only be obtained by flying in space.

We all know we fall. Newton's discovery was that the moon falls, too-and by the same rule that we do.

Oh, I never use a seat belt. I don't believe in gravity.

Black holes collect problems faster than they collect matter.

Einstein said that he never could understand it all, the planets spinning in space, the smile upon your face.

He understood that the sources of the gravitational field were not just ponderable matter but also field energy. He realized that gravitational field energy is to be included as a source and that the gravitational field equations were therefore bound to be nonlinear.

the greater part of our anxieties stems from an exaggerated sense of the importance of our own projects and concerns. We are tortured by our ideals and by a punishingly high-minded sense of the gravity of what we are doing.

As she fell, she was reminded of that line from one of Douglas Adams' books, where he described flying as the ability to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Valkyrie rushed towards the ground, and missed splendidly.

Bintang yang sama tidak akan pernah jatuh untuk kedua kalinya

Physics is the science of all the tremendously powerful invisibilities - of magnetism, electricity, gravity, light, sound, cosmic rays. Physics is the science of the mysteries of the universe. How could anyone think it dull?

as if the air, by its very lightness, by its very non-resistance, were an almost insurmountable problem, making her body, though slight and compact, seem much heavier than that of women who stay upon the ground.

Falling and flying are near identical sensations, in all but one final detail.

This stretch of road is not where you want to fuck up. You slip on the kozmic banana peel coming down these switchbacks you are suddenly Lost in Space, man. You are Rocky the Flying Squirrel, you are air-borne... You can have eighteen wheel drive and it won't matter, if all those wheels are in the sky. What you don't have is wings, or a parachute, which is what you're going to need if you screw up the distinction between centrifugal and centripetal force on one of these curves.

Conscious realism makes a bold claim: consciousness, not spacetime and its objects, is fundamental reality and is properly described as a network of conscious agents.31 To earn its keep, conscious realism must do serious work ahead. It must ground a theory of quantum gravity, explain the emergence of our spacetime interface and its objects, explain the appearance of Darwinian evolution within that interface, and explain the evolutionary emergence of human psychology.

near-Earth objects that approach the Earth's orbit to within 0.05 AU, which is roughly the distance that a near-Earth object's trajectory can be gravitationally altered by a single planetary encounter.

Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don't even notice it.

But I bring it up to let you know that this is the way I feel right now. Like Pluto and Jupiter are aligned with the earth and I'm floating.

We juggle priceless eggs in variable gravity. I am afraid. I will taste fear until I die.

Gravity is the root of lightness; stillness the ruler of movement." (Mueller, op. cit., p. 69.)

The speech set a pattern that he would follow throughout the war, offering a sober appraisal of facts, tempered with reason for optimism. "It would be foolish to disguise the gravity of the hour," he said. "It would be still more foolish to lose heart and courage.

If a force can disappear purely because the point of view of the observer changes, then this means the force does not exist: it is dependent on the observer, it has no objective reality (i.e., not all observers experience it as real). It is not a real force. Therefore, Einstein realised gravity was just a fictitious force.

But it is this peculiar behaviour of the gravity spring which enables the universe to have zero total energy.

The Schwarzschild radius of the universe is the huge distance of 1.5 × 1027m (calculated from the mass of 1054kg) — a distance which is larger than the radius of the current observable universe. So the whole mass of the universe is contained within its Schwarzschild radius. This means that, for the universe as a whole, the repulsive effect becomes highly-significant. Gravity would act to expand the universe.
