Quotes About Laws

Laplace suggested that there should be a set of scientific laws that would allow us to predict everything that would happen in the universe, if only we knew the complete state of the universe at one time.

if you believe that the universe is not arbitrary, but is governed by definite laws, you ultimately have to combine the partial theories into a complete unified theory that will describe everything in the universe.

The notion that the laws of nature had to be intentionally obeyed reflects the ancients' focus on why nature behaves as it does, rather than on how it behaves.

Tapi perkara paling pentingnya tak berubah: Bahwa alam semesta diatur oleh satu set hukum rasional yang kita bisa temukan dan pahami.

Indeed, if it were, it would by definition not be random. In modern times, we have effectively removed the third possibility above by redefining the goal of science: our aim is to formulate a set of laws that enables us to predict events only up to the limit set by the uncertainty principle.

The great mystery at the heart of the Big Bang is to explain how an entire, fantastically enormous universe of space and energy can materialise out of nothing. The secret lies in one of the strangest facts about our cosmos. The laws of physics demand the existence of something called "negative energy.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. These laws may have originally been decreed by God, but it appears that he has since left the universe to evolve according to them and does not now intervene in it.

It means the universe itself, in all its mind-boggling vastness and complexity, could simply have popped into existence without violating the known laws of nature.

Do the laws governing the universe allow us to predict exactly what is going to happen to us in the future? The short answer is no, and yes. In principle, the laws allow us to predict the future. But in practice the calculations are often too difficult.

the universe is governed by a set of rational laws that we can discover and understand.

The laws of physics demand the existence of something called 'negative energy'.

Kita jelas tak bisa memprediksi peristiwa masa depan dengan tepat jika tak bisa mengukur keadaan alam semesta sekarang dengan tepat!

Sains tampaknya telah mengungkap satu set hukum yang memberi tahu kita bagaimana alam semesta akan berkembang seiring waktu jika kita mengetahui keadaannya pada saat apa pun, dalam batas-batas yang ditetapkan oleh kaidah ketidakastian. Hukum-hukum itu boleh jadi aslinya ditetapkan oleh Tuhan, tapi tampaknya Dia sudah membiarkan alam semesta berkembang sesuai hukum-hukum itu dan sekarang tak lagi ikut campur dalam alam semesta.

A woman in love, is what. In my experience, they got their own laws.

it was known that genes could be faithfully transmitted with mutation rates (errors) of less than one in one billion. This extraordinary high degree of fidelity convinced Schrödinger that the laws of heredity could not be founded on the "order from disorder" classical laws. Instead, he proposed that genes were more like individual atoms or molecules in being subject to the nonclassical but strangely orderly rules of the science he helped to found, quantum mechanics.

Through the appropriation of public spaces and resources into the logic of the marketplace, individuals are dispossessed of many collective forms of mutual support or sharing. A simple and pervasive cooperative practice like hitchhiking had to be inverted into a risk-filled act with fearful, even lethal consequences. Now it has reached the point of laws being enacted in parts of the United States that criminalize giving food to the homeless or to undocumented immigrants.

Animals that live in large peaceful societies seem to violate the laws of evolution (such as competition and survival of the fittest), but only until you learn a bit more about evolution.

Animals that fly seem to violate the laws of physics, but only until you learn a bit more about physics.

It is universally better to obey God than Man when the laws of God and Man clash and interfere with one another.

But it is surely no coincidence that Israel became the first – indeed the only – nation in history to receive its laws before its land. A law that could be easily written and read, and that could be transported anywhere, was the expression of the God who was everywhere, in the desert as well as in the land.

Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.

populismo es el uso demagógico que un líder carismático hace de la legitimidad democrática para prometer la vuelta de un orden tradicional o el acceso a una utopía posible y, logrado el triunfo, consolidar un poder personal al margen de las leyes, las instituciones y las libertades.

In Germany the government was very bad, but the people were bad too; in Italy the government was forced to be bad to emulate Hitler's laws and so on, but the people were very good.

Thus, although both Jews and non-Jews often violated Nazi laws in a number of minor ways, the Nazi authorities would usually look aside in most cases involving non-Jewish offenders while proceeding ruthlessly in nearly all cases involving Jewish offenders.
