Quotes About Physics

Air, I should explain, becomes wind when it is agitated.

the dead still obey the laws of physics, don't they?

To understand how growth, aging and death works, you must understand the radiation environment.

The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.

Physics as we know it will be over in six months.

I can accept the theory of relativity as little as I can accept the existence of atoms and other such dogmas.

It's an exaggeration to say that I came up with M-theory.

For Jung, the collective unconscious can simply be described as an envelope of wisdom embracing everything in creation, humans included. For Jung, it is essentially of God and may well be considered as the wise and enduring power of divine Spirit infused throughout the whole of creation….Long dismissed as an esoteric illusive fantasy, the collective unconscious begins to look very similar to the notion of the creative vacuum of pure space, or modern physics.

The mind of a woman. The delicate chambering and massive unidirectional flow, like a physics experiment.

I liked to watch Orest eat. He inhaled food according to aerodynamic principles.

The Stanford Linear Accelerator 3-Day Particle-Smashing Diet.

Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

It seems like, if you really knew the God who understands the physics of our existence, you would operate a little more cautiously, a little more compassionately, a little less like you are the center of the universe.

The task of asking nonliving matter to speak and the responsibility for interpreting its reply is that of physics.

Thus energy may be regarded as the universal currency of the sciences,

In our material world, every single happening or event of whatever kind involves a conversion of energy from one into another of its many forms.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and so the total amount of energy which is present before and after any physical transaction will not be changed. This principle is called 'the conservation of energy'.

Joule, that is the work done when one Newton acts through one metre.*

stress' in a solid is rather like the 'pressure' in a liquid or a gas. It is a measure of how hard the atoms and molecules which make up the material are being pushed together or pulled apart as a result of external forces.

it is quite possible to break a bow by 'shooting' it without an arrow.

Numerically, the stress in any direction at a given point in a material is simply the force or load which happens to be acting in that direction at the point, divided by the area on which the force acts.

The science of elasticity is about the interactions between forces and deflections.

The scientific kind of energy with which we are dealing is officially defined as 'capacity for doing work', and it has the dimensions of 'force-multiplied-by-distance'.

slope of the stress-strain diagram measures how readily each material strains elastically under a given stress.
