Quotes About Density

The core of a neutron star is so dense that a single spoonful of matter from it would weigh more than 500 billion kilograms.

Because it expands, ice floats on water—"an utterly bizarre property," according to John Gribbin.

The core of a neutron star is so dense that a single spoonful of matter from it would weigh 200 billion pounds.

Power density is the relevant number here. It tells you how much power you can get from different sources for a given amount of land (or water, if you're putting wind turbines in the ocean). It's measured in watts per square meter. Below

Reality was getting too dense.

The photograph has a double density.... It is the daughter of the world of externals, of the living second, and as such will always keep something of the historic or scientific document about it; but it is also the daughter of the rectangle.

According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we're sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here.

Think of a forest, then imagine taking 10,000 trees and squeezing them together until there is essentially no space between them. That's what the neocortical column looks like.

Such self-organization always begins the same way, or as researchers Scott Camazine et al. put it, "At a critical density a pattern arises within the system.

We differ from other large mammals, but not much from rodents, in the great variety of habitats we now occupy and in the population densities we have achieved. In

Other fan pages devoted to Hollywood stars of the studio era have similar ambitions, but the Garland pages surpass them in the sheer density of their archival documentation.

There must be a way to combine the high rise and high-density environment with nature. Maybe we can have our gardens in the sky.

Third is Omega, the relative density of the universe. If Omega were too small, then the universe would have expanded and cooled too fast.

If the universe is dense enough, then there is enough matter and gravity to attract the distant galaxies and reverse the expansion, so that the Big Crunch becomes a realistic possibility. If the universe lacks sufficient mass, then there is not enough gravity to reverse the expansion and the universe goes into a Big Freeze. The critical density separating these two scenarios is roughly six hydrogen atoms per cubic meter.

As the amount of matter used to create a black hole increases, the required density to which that matter must be crushed decreases.

Haldane imagined a far future when the stars have darkened and space is mainly filled with a cold thin gas. Nevertheless, if we wait long enough statistical fluctuations in the density of this gas will occur. Over immense periods of time the fluctuations will be sufficient to reconstitute a Universe something like our own. If the Universe is infinitely old, there will be an infinite number of such reconstitutions, Haldane pointed out.

in this matter. Natural as it is to be somewhat incredulous concerning the populousness

Like humidity, the truth thickens all air.

Eric's Trip is still a huge influence on me. The style of those recordings and the rawness of them is very inspiring. And the density of the distorted parts, amazing.

Why is your equation only for angels, Roger? Why can't we do something, down here? Couldn't there be an equation for us too, something to help us find a safer place?' 'Why am I surrounded,' his usual understanding self today, 'by statistical illiterates? There's no way, love, not as long as the mean density of strikes is constant.

and isn't it the curse of the drifter, the desolation of heart we feel each evening at sundown, with the slow loop of the river out there just for a half a minute, catching the last light, pregnant with the city in all its density and wonder, the possibilities never to be counted, much less lived into, by the likes of us, don't you see, for we're only passing through, we're already ghosts.

the barometric pressure felt about a billion pounds per square inch

As thikke as motes in the sonne-beem.

lawyers' offices. This scales superlinearly with an exponent close to the canonical 1.15, meaning that there are systematically more lawyers per capita in larger cities.
