Quotes About Gravity

She was one of those languid women, made of dark honey, smooth and sweet, and terribly sticky, who take control of a room with a syrupy gesture, a toss of the hair, a single slow whiplash of the eyes — and all the while remain as still as the centre of a hurricane, apparently unaware of the force of gravity by which they irresistibly attract themselves the yearnings and the souls of both men and women.

I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity.

The search for ground lights is not enough. There is the axis to be followed and '—dot dot dot—' forgotten. You must above all find lightness, buoyancy, the permanent defiance of gravity.

Einstein brilliantly realized that it would be possible to patch together a comprehensive theory of gravity from free falling reference frames, treating each as it were at rest

Compared with this problem, the original theory of relativity is childish. (Einstein to Sommerfeld on the gravitational problem)

Holmes went in for a final attack, fully expecting it to be fended off, and when it was, he hooked Moriarty's arms around his and pulled backwards, letting gravity do the rest. There was a resigned look on the Professor's face as they fell, as if he'd been expecting this. Tumbling

Most of the craft was not seriously damaged but the collision caused havoc on board.

One of my inside sources opened the window on that one for me when he said: "Gravity travels faster than light." Evidence of a kind of physics we are not taught in school was provided by an exchange program, when in July 1965 twelve courageous U.S. astronauts boarded an Eben (Grey) craft on an exchange visit to the planet Serpo. The trip took 10 months to reach its destination 37 light years distant.

Here on the outside of the ship, its spin-induced gravity was reversed. He stood upright but felt pulled toward the stars.

It was as if gravity was suspended. It was like dancing, I thought, although I had never danced in my whole life. We were never to walk like that again.
