Quotes About Mass

fuerzas gravitatorias de Newton, por las que dos objetos se atraen mutuamente de manera directamente proporcional a su masa e inversamente proporcional a la distancia que los separa.
~ Walter Isaacson
As with democratic politics, the market is a mass of individuals making discrete choices within a framework shaped by larger forces, over which they have limited control.
~ Charles J. Chaput
Except for these unfathomable mass murders. But these are infinitely more difficult to prevent. While law deters the rational, it has far less effect on the psychotic.
~ Charles Krauthammer
The infinite zero of a black hole-mass crammed into zero space, curving space infinitely-punches a hole in the smooth rubber sheet. The equations of general relativity cannot deal with the sharpness of zero. In a black hole, space and time are meaningless.
~ Charles Seife
Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.
~ Charlie Chaplin
The law of conservation of energy, reborn as the law of conservation of mass/energy, has established itself as one of the few unshakable theoretical guideposts in the wilderness of the world of our sense experiences. In scope and generality it surpasses Newton's laws of motion, Maxwell's equations for electricity and magnetism, and even Einstein's potent little E=mc². It comes as close to an absolute truth as our uncertain age will permit.
~ Hans Christian Von Baeyer
The rise of modern mass communication, he argues—railways, telegraphs, and especially newspapers—has made it difficult for certain highly notorious criminals (like himself) to receive fair and impartial trials.
~ Harold Schechter
The defining difference between the spree killer and the mass murderer has to do with motion. Whereas the mass murderer slaughters in one place, the spree killer moves from site to site, killing as he goes. In that sense, spree killing might best be described as mobile mass murder.
~ Harold Schechter
more modern version of the hysteria complex is called Mass Psychogenic Illness, or MPI, which is defined as the contagious spread of behavior within a group of individuals where one person serves as the catalyst or "starter" and the others imitate the behavior.
~ Laurie Winn Carlson
Cities are the huge central dynamos of all being. The power of a man can be measured today by the mile, the number of miles between him and the city; that is, between him and what the city stands for -- the centre of mass.
~ lee gerald stanley ii
But another possibility is that a neutron star's center contains exotic particles called kaons. This would lower the critical mass compared
~ Lee Smolin
Newton's law of gravity says that the acceleration of any object as it orbits another is proportional to the mass of the body it is orbiting.......Thus if you know the speed of a body in orbit around a star and its distance from the star, you can measure the mass of that star. The same holds for stars in orbit around the center of their galaxy; by measuring the orbital speeds of the stars, you can measure the distribution of mass in that galaxy.
~ Lee Smolin
For simple black holes, which do not rotate and have no electric charge, the values of the temperature and entropy can be expressed very simply. The area of the horizon of a simple black hole is proportional to the square of its mass, in Planck units. The entropy S is proportional to this quantity. In terms of Planck units, we have the simple formula S = .25 A / h G. Where A is the area of the horizon, and G is the gravitational constant.
~ Lee Smolin
Expressed in Planck units, the temperature T of a black hole is inversely proportional to its mass, m. This is a third law, Hawking's law: T = k/m. The constant k is very small in normal units. As a result, astrophysical black holes have temperatures of a very small fractionnof a degree.
~ Lee Smolin
Mass movements are always so unhip. That's what was great about punk. It was an antimovement, because there was knowledge there from the very beginning that with mass appeal comes all those tedious folks who need to be told what to think. Hip can never be a mass movement. And culturally, the gay liberation movement and all the rest of the movements were the beginning of political correctness, which was just fascism to us. Real fascism. More rules.
~ Legs McNeil
It is not difficult to be a revolutionary when revolution has already broken out and is in spate, when all people are joining the revolution just because they are carried away, because it is the vogue, and sometimes even from careerist motives. It is far more difficult--and far more precious--to be a revolutionary when the conditions for direct, open, really mass and really revolutionary struggle do not yet exist.
~ lenin vladimir
Every Mass a Communion Mass" should be the aim of all of us, provided, of course, that anyone conscious of a mortal sin must be forgiven in the sacrament of Confession before receiving our Lord.
~ Leo John Trese
Even in an enlightened democracy, the media have to check themselves to make sure they are not contributing to an unnecessary mass hysteria.
~ Yair Lapid
The kind of fan following that Salman has at the mass level is unparalleled. No one even comes close. So when he plays the Robin Hood or Chulbul Pandey sort of roles, people go crazy.
~ Boney Kapoor
Instant, soluble coffee has long been the unspeakable wasteland of the coffee business. Conventional wisdom would be that no premium brand should go near it. But Howard Schultz's vision from day one has been to bring quality coffee to the mass market.
~ John Quelch
Don't look to me to support urban mass transit.
~ Mike Espy
There is no prayer or good work so great, so pleasing to God, so useful to us as the Mass.
~ Lawrence Giustiniani
I would tell myself that I was about to address the largest mass assembly of idiots ever gathered in the history of mankind.
~ Winston Churchill
None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for 'Indiana Jones.' Nobody in their right mind thought 'American Graffiti' or 'Star Wars' would work.
~ George Lucas
