Quotes About Gravity

The Prophets, Evliyas and Sheikhs are spiritual 'gravity wells.' They become so 'heavy' because they carry Allah (the Awareness of the Entire Universe) within themselves. This is why these Holy Ones draw others toward them.

The very essence of gravity was design, and consequently deceit… it was no better, but often worse, than what a French wit had long ago defined it,—viz., A mysterious carriage of the body to cover the defects of the mind.

Another mode of accumulating power arises from lifting a weight and then allowing it to fall.

When gravity calls, something falls.

There is no gravity. The earth sucks.

In a world where we are all slaves to the laws of gravity, skydivers are proud to be freedom fighters!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying. There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

There is no gravity. The earth sucks.

Love, like gravity, which could move across time and dimensions.

frases con fuerza gravitacional, hoyos negros que devoran cuanto se halla a su alrededor.

To separate the effects of gravity on a given mass from the effects of air resistance was a brilliant intellectual achievement. It allowed Galileo to close in on the essence of inertia and momentum. Still, in the real world, pendulums eventually do exactly what Aristotle's quaint paradigm predicted. They stop.

Final cause is cause based on purpose or design: a wheel is round because that shape makes transportation possible. Physical cause is mechanical: the earth is round because gravity pulls a spinning fluid into a spheroid. The distinction is not always so obvious. A drinking glass is round because that is the most comfortable shape to hold or drink from. A drinking glass is round because that is the shape naturally assumed by spun pottery or blown glass.

In reasonably simple form, galactic orbits can be treated like the orbits of planets around a sun, with one exception: the central gravity source is not a point, but a disk with thickness in three dimensions.

On the night before the wedding, when Chips left the house to return to his hotel, she said, with mock gravity: This is an occasion, you know--this last farewell of ours. I feel rather like a new boy beginning his first term with you. Not scared, mind you--but just, for once, in a thoroughly respectful mood. Shall I call you 'sir'--or would 'Mr. Chips' be the right thing? 'Mr. Chips,' I think. Good-bye, then--good-bye, Mr. Chips. . . .

Intimacy.... is that there are certain natural laws which govern the sexual experience of two people, and that these laws cannot be budged any more than gravity can be negotiated with.

Drall's lighter gravity is going to Jacen's head. He's convinced that our coming here is going to upset the balance of the Force or something." -Anakin Solo

Space was more appropriate for the Sith than for the Jedi. The invisible enslavement to gravity, the contained power of the stars, the utter insignificance of life Ã¢â'¬Â¦ Hyperspace, by contrast, was more suitable to the Jedi: nebulous, neither here nor

I'm a very serious person. Unfortunately, sometimes.

M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find.

We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.

If a projectile were deprived of the force of gravity, it would not be deflected toward the earth but would go off in a straight line into the heavens and do so with uniform motion, provided that the resistance of the air were removed.

The same thing is to be understood of all bodies, revolved in any orbits. They all endeavour to recede from the centres of their orbits, and were it not for the opposition of a contrary force which restrains them to and detains them in their orbits, which I therefore call Centripetal, would fly off in right lines with a uniform motion.

One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, and quantum mechanics.

I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.
