Quotes About Gravity

I think the hardest thing to reproduce, though, is the g-forces. When you turn a corner and all of a sudden you have three, four, maybe even five times the force of gravity pushing against your body, it's literally trying to push you through the side of your car. There's no way to duplicate that feeling.

'Defying Gravity' is a big, theatrical, grand gesture. In film, how do you match that?

My spirit is incapable of raising itself up from the floor. Divine gravity dictates this law to me: as my body resides at ground level, there must my soul rot.

Walking is a feat of controlled falling. Like life, I guess.

You cannot reach the pinnacle of success without overcoming the fear of failure just like you can't reach space without overcoming the attraction of gravity.

Ho esagerato ancora prima di cominciare, perché è vero: niente è mai grave quanto potrebbe essere.

Resiliency, like a cartwheel, requires core strength and a disregard for gravity. Only one of which can be willed.

Problemele lor sunt cu adev?rat grave ?i, chiar dac? nu pricepem de ce, trebuie s? accept?m gravitatea acestei chestiuni.

The difficulty lay with the mind accommodating itself to the notion of the plane, with all its weight, defying gravity, staying aloft. She understood the aerodynamics of flight, could comprehend the laws of physics that made flight possible, but her heart, at the moment, would have none of it. Her heart knew the plane could fall out of the sky.

The ugly political winds in the United States contrasted sharply with the earnest gravity of the occasion. Donald Trump had launched his campaign for president on a platform that blatantly stoked fear about immigrants and refugees, falsely depicting them as criminals and terrorists who were cannily masquerading as persecuted civilians.

I have a healthy respect for gravity. The ground is always there, trying to pull you down. It's the most important thing to keep in mind.

The body, she says, is subject to the force of gravity. But the soul is ruled by levity, pure.

The earth is a huge ball which nothing holds up in space except its own motion and magnetism, and we conscious things who occupy it believe we have to move too, in our own space. We can't allow ourselves to lie down and not to do our share and imitate the greater entity.

IF THE GREAT ANDROMEDA GALAXY had to depend on you to hold it up, where would it be now but fallen way to hell?

Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like

Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.

Spacetime grips mass, telling it how to move... Mass grips spacetime, telling it how to curve

I am surprised that General Ruin, when she was in zero gee in outer space, did not fall in the direction we call "space-down," travelling in the same direction as the bombs dropped from bomber ships in reel one. We all know objects in outer space are pulled by gravity from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Parker had seen men and women physically diminished in this way before, weighed down by suffering. Grief has its own gravity. They

Particles like protons or electrons occupy microscopic niches into which only one particle is allowed to sit. Any attempt to compress matter so that more than one particle would be squeezed into each niche is met by a resisting force. The balance between this force and the inward push of gravity results in the large, stable, cold bodies we see in the solar system.

Each of us is a complicated assymetrical outcome of the laws of electromagnetism and gravity.

We can easily imagine worlds in which the constants of Nature take on slightly different numerical values where living beings like ourselves would not be possible. Make the fine structure constant bigger and there can be no atoms, make the strength of gravity greater and stars exhaust their fuel very quickly, reduce the strength of nuclear forces and there can be no biochemistry, and so on.

Whatever the ultimate Theory of Everything is found to be, it will have a limiting form which describes motion at speeds far less than that of light in weak gravity fields where quantum wavelike features of mass are negligible. This form will be the one that Newton found.

The Sunne who goes so many miles in a minut, The Starres of the Firmament, which go so very many more, goe not so fast, as my body to the earth.
