Quotes About Gravity

Nonetheless, in all cases matter tells spacetime how to curve, and spacetime tells matter how to move.

With general relativity, we know that before gravity can act, spacetime has to deform. This process does not happen instantaneously. It takes time. Gravity waves travel at the speed of light. Gravitational effects can kick in at a given position only after the time it takes for a signal to travel there and distort spacetime.

Gravity in our world would be weak because extra dimensions are large, not because there is fundamentally a big mass responsible for the tiny gravitational force.

In the warped scenario, the field lines are equally distributed in all the directions on the brane. However, off the brane the field lines bend back around so that they become essentially parallel to the brane, almost as if the fifth dimension were finite. Even with an infinite dimension, the gravitational field is localized near the brane, and field lines spread essentially as if there were only four (spacetime) dimensions.

If large extra dimensions solve the hierarchy problem, higher-dimensional gravity would become strong at about a TeV.

Greed is a stronger force than gravity.

There is no gravity," I said. He grinned lopsidedly. "The earth sucks. Ain't it the truth.

Ona je bila posjedni?ki nastrojena... i to zbog njega. To prekrasno, ludo stvorenje — ili slijepo i gluho stvorenje, Å¡togod bila — hladnokrvno je to izjavilo kao da govori: »Dodaj mi solenku«, bez imalo svijesti da se Zemljina os upravo snažno nagnula.

In the aftermath of the wind the air was dry, burning, so clear that she could see the ploughed furrows of firebreaks on distant mountains. Not even the highest palms moved. The stillness and clarity of the air seemed to rob everything of its perspective, seemed to alter all perception of depth, and Maria drove as carefully as if she were reconnoitering an atmosphere without gravity.

No hi ha res que pesi tant com el buit.

Dark matter has a gravitation effect on other objects. You can't see it, you can't feel it, but you can watch something being pulled in its direction.

The world spins, but not around you.

Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.

At some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you'll look back down and see that you floated away, too.

No matter how beautiful the shoes are, they still have to go on the ground.

Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.

It's actually kind of weird that we can comprehend the law of gravity, or that we can understand quantum mechanics, enough at least to make computers.

Beauty stands and waits with gravity to start her death-defying leap

defects. I escape the force of gravity again when

Those incapable of thinking gravely read gravity into frivolties which correspond to their own frivolous nature.

All of this while I left lifted by a strange new medium, a strange element--I now tell you that I was newly buoyant in a brighter life. In the midst of a hymn, God had disappeared. It was like waking from a nightmare in which I'd been paralyzed. Like discovering that gravity itself had been only a bad dream.

Rumors or no, Thomas, if the men strike, we'll see fecal gravity at work like never before. Ain't a man in this room who won't be covered in shit.

I'm drawn to dark characters, and to things that are really weighty.

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
