Quotes About Interaction

Say it, woman." "It. Woman." "God, you're a pain.
~ Kristan Higgins
When things went right, it was generally because the woman had cleverly manipulated the guy into good dating behavior. He'd call when he said he would. Put some thought into dates. He'd ask questions about her life because she didn't vomit up all her personal history in the first ten minutes.
~ Kristan Higgins
He didn't look away. No one looked at a person that way anymore. They checked their phones, or scanned the horizon, or glanced around.
~ Kristan Higgins
Lauren: "Can I ask you a question?" Angie: "Generally that's a question one should say no to. Often hell no.
~ Kristin Hannah
Fifteen minutes later, Betsy came thundering down the stairs. "I'm going to the mall with Sierra to see a movie." Michael leaned forward, switched off the television. "Can you please rephrase that in the form of a question?" "Sure. Can I have some money?
~ Kristin Hannah
When we see faces, we don't just recognize them; we also make the same face, if only for a moment.
~ Carl Zimmer
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
~ Carlo M. Cipolla
From action or inaction each one of us derives a gain or a loss and at the same time one causes a gain or a loss to some one else.
~ Carlo M. Cipolla
Once again, the world seems to be less about objects than about interactive relationships.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Quantum mechanics extends this relativity in a radical way: all variable aspects of an object exist only in relation to other objects. It is only in interactions that nature draws the world.
~ Carlo Rovelli
All things are continually interacting with each other, and in doing so each bears the traces of that with which it has interacted: and in this sense all things continuously exchange information about each other.
~ Carlo Rovelli
We have a hundred billion neurons in our brains, as many as there are stars in a galaxy, with an even more astronomical number of links and potential combinations through which they can interact. We are not conscious of all of this. "We" are the process formed by this entire intricacy, not just by the little of it of which we are conscious.
~ Carlo Rovelli
We are the products of a long selection process of chemical, biological, and cultural structures that at different levels have interacted for a long time in order to shape the funny process that we are.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Space is created by the interaction of individual quanta of gravity.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The entropy of the world in the far past appears very low to us. But this might not reflect the exact state of the world: it might regard the subset of the world' s variables with which we, as physical systems, have interacted. It is with respect to the dramatic blurring produced by our interactions with the world, caused by the small set of macroscopic variables in terms of which we describe the world, that the entropy of the universe was low.
~ Carlo Rovelli
the properties of an object become manifest when this object interacts with others. We cannot separate the properties from these other objects. We cannot attribute them just to a single object. All of the (variable) properties of an object, in the final analysis, are such and exist only with respect to other objects.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Time opens up our limited access to the world. Time, then, is the form in which we beings, whose brains are made up essentially of memory and foresight, interact with the world: it is the source of identity.
~ Carlo Rovelli
And there is the fact that what matters is not how things are, but rather how they interact. Spin networks are not entities; they describe the effect of space upon things. Just as an electron is in no place-is diffused in a cloud of probability in all places-space is not actually forned by a single specific spin network, but rather by a cloud of probabilities over the whole range of all possible spin networks.
~ Carlo Rovelli
It is with respect to that physical system to which we belong—due to the peculiar way in which it interacts with the rest of the world, thanks to the fact that it allows traces and because we, as physical entities, consist of memory and anticipation—that the perspective of time opens up for us, like our small, lit clearing.
~ Carlo Rovelli
We observe the universe from within it, interacting with a minuscule portion of the innumerable variables of the cosmos. What we see is a blurred image. This blurring suggests that the dynamic of the universe with which we interact is governed by entropy, which measures the amount of blurring. It measures something that relates to us more than to the cosmos.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Without this attraction, every celestial body would move in a straight line. So the universe, then, is a large space where bodies attract one another by means of forces; and there is a universal force, gravity: every body attracts every other body.
~ Carlo Rovelli
A small system S does not distinguish the details of the rest of the universe because it interacts only with a few among the variables of the rest of the universe.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Çok h?zl? hareket eden dalgac?klard?r. Kuantum mekani?inin garip kurallar?na göre yok olup yeniden ortaya ç?karlar, var olan ?eyler hiçbir zaman kararl? bir durumda olmaz; bir etkile?imden di?erine gerçekle?en bir s?çramadan ba?ka bir ?ey de?ildirler.
~ Carlo Rovelli
This is Dirac's quantum mechanics: a recipe for calculating the spectra of the variables, and a recipe for calculating the probability that one or another value in the spectrum appears during an interaction.
~ Carlo Rovelli
