Quotes About Atom

Better and better, man. Would now St. Paul would come along that way, and to my breezelessness bring his breeze! O Nature, and O soul of man! how far beyond all utterance are your linked analogies; not the smallest atom stirs or lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate in mind.

Chemistry, until my childhood, not that long ago, was regarded as a calculating device. Because you couldn't reduce to physics. So it's just some way of calculating the result of experiments. The Bohr atom was treated that way.

he was able to estimate the size of the nucleus of the atom. It was one hundred thousand times smaller than the atom itself.

So the scale law rules out the familiar idea of worlds-within-worlds found in science fiction, that is, the idea that inside the atom there could be an entire universe, or that our galaxy could be an atom in a much larger universe.

In each atom, in each corpuscle, is life. Life is what you worship as God ... and earth is only an atom in the universe of worlds.

A tree is to the entire universe as a string is to an atom.

if an atom were magnified to be as large as the observable universe, the same magnification would make the Planck length the size of an average tree.

in the forty-five years centered on 1910, the nature of the atom was first understood—partly by shooting pieces of atoms at atoms and watching how they bounce off.

Everyday life depends on the structure of the atom. Turn off the electrical charges and everything crumbles to an invisible fine dust, without electrical forces, there would no longer be things in the universe - merely diffuse clouds of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and gravitating spheres of elementary particles, the featureless remnants of worlds.

Imagine one atom of that speck of dust, with electrons traveling around its nucleus at 180,000 miles per second. It is very exciting. To return to a speck of dust with be quite an exciting adventure!

Homo economicus may be the smallest unit of analysis in economic theory—equivalent to the atom in Newton's physics—but, just like an atom, his composition has profound consequences.

For Eckhart, then, there is only one Word of God ("God spoke once") that resounds in every atom of the universe ("I heard two").

O Nature, and O soul of man! how far beyond all utterance are your linked analogies; not the smallest atom stirs or lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate in mind.

Traditional nationalism cannot survive the fissioning of the atom. One world or none.

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and we have rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience, our world is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

The Father most tender, Father of all, my immense God-I His atom.

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.

There is no evil in the atom; only in men's souls.

By the end, there was only one conclusion to draw: "Germany had no atom bomb and was not likely to have one in any reasonable time.

When I started Atom Factory, the idea was to do something small yet powerful. That name resonated with the mission.

Sunflowers and seashells and logarithmic spirals (said Kerewin); sweep of galaxies and the singing curve of the universe (said Kerewin); the oscilating wave thrumming in the nothingness of every atom's heart (said Kerewin); did you think I could build a square house? So the round shell house holds them all in its spiralling embrace. Noise and riot, peace and quiet, all is music in this sphere.

Here Boltzmann is referring to the fact that an atom cannot be a simple object, as was amply known in his time from spectroscopy. It was the study of this structure that paved the way to the theory of elementary particles in the twentieth century. These are the bricks from which one builds atoms and may derive a force between atoms of the kind imagined by Boscovich.

Ama bütün çocuklar gibi kuram da kendi yoluna gitti, Einstein da onu art?k tan?yamaz oldu. 1910'lar ve 1920'ler boyunca büyümesine yön verense Danimarkal? Niels Bohr oldu. I??k enerjisi gibi atomlardaki elektronlar?n belirli bir enerjiyle yaln?zca bir atom yörüngesinden di?erine "s?çrayabilece?ini", bunu yaparken de bir foton sald???n? veya so?urdu?unu anlayan odur.

If, as I have reason to believe, I have disintegrated the nucleus of the atom, this is of greater significance than th
