Quotes About Particles

However, you will need to know about flavors and generations because of the strong constraints on the particles' properties, which give us vital clues and constraints on the physics that lies beyond the Standard Model. Chief among these constraints is that different flavors of quarks and leptons with the same charges rarely, if ever, turn into one another.
~ Lisa Randall
My second concern about Occam's Razor is just a matter of fact. The world is more complicated than any of us would have been likely to conceive. Some particles and properties don't seem necessary to any physical processes that matter—at least according to what we've deduced so far. Yet they exist. Sometimes the simplest model just isn't the correct one.
~ Lisa Randall
The uncertainty principle tells us that you need high-momentum particles to probe or influence physical processes at short distances, and special relativity relates that momentum to a mass.
~ Lisa Randall
The fermionic nature of most fundamental particles determines many properties of the matter around us. The Pauli exclusion principle, in particular, states that two fermions of the same type will never be found in the same place. The exclusion principle is what gives the atom the structure upon which chemistry is based.
~ Lisa Randall
When a field takes a nonzero value, the best way to think about it is to imagine space manifesting the charge that the field carries, but not containing any actual particles.
~ Lisa Randall
The weak force violates parity symmetry by acting differently on left-handed and right-handed particles. It turns out that only left-handed particles experience the weak force. For example, a left-handed electron would experience the weak force, whereas one spinning to the right would not. Experiments show this clearly—it's the way the world works—but there is no intuitive, mechanical explanation for why this should be so.
~ Lisa Randall
Trillions of solar neutrinos pass through you each second, but interact so weakly that you never notice.
~ Lisa Randall
If particles had mass from the get-go, the theory would have been inconsistent and made nonsensical predictions such as probabilities of energetic particles interacting that were greater than one. Some new ingredient was required to allow for those masses. That
~ Lisa Randall
The slowing down of time in high-speed travel is known as "time dilation" and is routinely taken into account in physics experiments, particularly those in which subatomic particles are accelerated in "atom smashers" such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva.
~ Jim Al-Khalili
The sea is blue because the sunlight is reflected back to our eyes from the water molecules or from very minute particles suspended in the sea. In the journey of the light rays downward into the water and back to our eyes, all the red rays of the spectrum and most of the yellow have been absorbed, so it is chiefly the cool, blue light that we see.
~ Rachel Carson
It is important to realize that you are fundamentally made up of Life Particles, as is everyone else. Please realize that you, like everyone you meet, possess a MindScreen. Making use of this powerful asset will help you cultivate a healthier, happier and more peaceful life, and it will help you do the same for others.
~ Ilchi Lee
They exist both as particles and as one great unbroken whole,because there`s no distinction between parts and the whole in Nothing.
~ Ilchi Lee
Bright Lifeparticles are energizing my body.
~ Ilchi Lee
it is important to realize that you are fundamentally made up of life particles..
~ Ilchi Lee
God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.
~ Isaac Newton
Are not gross Bodies and Light convertible into one another, and may not Bodies receive much of their Activity from the Particles of Light which enter their Composition?
~ Isaac Newton
Lucretius wants to write the poem of matter, but he warns us from the start that the reality of matter is that it's made of invisible particles. He
~ Italo Calvino
The number of combinations possible and hence the number of different thoughts or brain states each of us can have exceeds the number of known particles in the entire known universe.
~ Daniel J. Levitin
The relentless invisible storm of radio signals and electronic particles, the hustle and bustle, and the billions of petrol explosions in the engine blocks of trucks and cars seem to churn up the molecules of life and heaven so violently that the beautiful fogs are unable to hold together like they once did.
~ Michael Leunig
Physical studies of DNA had, of course, been under way for some years before analysis of virus particles began.
~ Alfred Hershey
hair. "The flow is constant," Alfonse said. "Words, pictures, numbers, facts, graphics, statistics, specks, waves, particles, motes. Only a catastrophe gets our attention. We want them, we need them, we depend on them.
~ Don DeLillo
is not surprising that biological systems like human beings are sensitive to external signals, such as geomagnetic disturbances. Magnetic fields are caused by the flow of electrons and atoms with charge, known as ions, and whenever magnetic forces change, they alter the direction of the flow of these atoms and particles. Ultimately,
~ Lynne McTaggart
Why is it that simple particles obeying simple rules will sometimes engage in the most astonishing, unpredictable behavior?
~ Unknown
The presence of the particles of matter , and their motion, determine the local topography of the space in which they sit.
~ John D. Barrow
