Quotes About Differential

Evolution is the external and visible manifestation of the differential survival of alternative replicators (Dawkins 1978a). Genes are replicators; organisms and groups of organisms are best not regarded as replicators; they are vehicles in which replicators travel about.
~ Richard Dawkins
Our bodies, for instance, are usually hotter than our surroundings, and in cold climates they have to work hard to maintain the differential. When we die the work stops, the temperature differential starts to disappear, and we end up the same temperature as our surroundings. Not all animals work so hard to avoid coming into equilibrium with their surrounding temperature, but all animals do some comparable work.
~ Richard Dawkins
We do not obtain knowledge by standing outside of the world; we know because we are of the world. We are part of the world in its differential becoming
~ Karen Barad
Even in the most closed cultures men believe that they are free and open to the universal; their differential character makes the narrowest cultural fields seem inexhaustible from within. Anything that compromises this illusion terrifies us and stirs up the immemorial tendency to persecution.
~ Rene Girard
This is the law that all life evolves by the differential survival of replicating entities.
~ Richard Dawkins
Yes, whoa! The power of the mind controlled the blood flow. How? Who knows. But it happens. So in cases of stigmata—like the one with that prisoner I mentioned, or maybe even with Regan—the unconscious mind is controlling the differential of blood flow to the skin, sending more to
~ William Peter Blatty
El cálculo, la teoría de variable compleja, la teoría cualitativa de ecuaciones diferenciales, la teoría de grupos y la geometría diferencial estaban cubiertas;
~ Kip S. Thorne
Science is the Differential Calculus of the mind. Art the Integral Calculus; they may be beautiful when apart, but are greatest only when combined.
~ Ronald Ross
In such a view, time is not emergent. It is, in fact, the only aspect of reality that cannot emerge from a more fundamental background. We register its reality, always and everywhere, by recognizing the differential character of change: some things change relative to other things. However, the kinds of things that there are also change, and so do the ways in which they change. That is what time is: the transformation of transformation.
~ Roberto Mangabeira Unger
The implications of these fertility differences have been fully explored by Eric Kaufmann of the University of London in his book, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? (2010). Kaufmann noted that because only the irreligious sector of Europe's population is declining, while the religious sector is growing, only the irreligious European population is headed towards extinction, with the result that differential fertility may produce a huge religious revival in Europe.
~ Rodney Stark
Transdiagnostic approaches are one way of avoiding a process of differential diagnosis that assumes a specificity that does not exist.
~ Joel Paris
To actually play a game, where you are in the World Cup, there is significance to it, the point differential matters, all these things kind of add up.
~ Joe Harris
So differential treatment is a part of socialism just as it is in capitalism, but in the latter system, self-dependency and self-reliance play the larger role in one's advancement, whereas in the former system, currying favor with the powers that be and hoping to be noticed plays the larger role in advancement.
~ Ben Carson
had no interest in allies, Trump said. He didn't want any troops in South Korea even when reminded about the differential between the seven seconds to detect an ICBM launch from there as opposed to 15-minute detection from Alaska.
~ Bob Woodward
Von Neumann was in many ways a traditional mathematician, who (like Turing) believed he needed to turn to partial differential equations in describing natural systems.
~ Stephen Wolfram
está obsesionado por las mujeres, está obsesionado por lo que hay en cada una de ellas de inimaginable, en otras palabras, está obsesionado por esa millonésima diferencial que distingue a una mujer de las demás mujeres.
~ Milan Kundera
Tom and I didn't have a problem with the height differential but Paramount did, so we tried to hide it.
~ Kelly McGillis
we've come to realize that most systems of differential equations are unsolvable, in that same sense; it's impossible to find a formula for the answer. There is, however, one spectacular exception. Linear differential equations are solvable.
~ Steven H. Strogatz
At the end of the day, the differential, I believe, on the airline space has got to be about the product and the service that you provide. And again, I can't express that enough. That comes from people. It is a people business, and my primary focus is to get our 84,000-plus people back aligned, back engaged, and back focused on our customer.
~ Oscar Munoz
In most Western countries the extreme differential in power needed to enslave doesn't exist, and the idea of slavery is abhorrent. When most of the population has a reasonable standard of living and some financial security (whether their own or assured by government safety nets), slavery can't thrive.
~ Kevin Bales
The equations of fluid flow are nonlinear partial differential equations, unsolvable except in special cases. Yet Ruelle worked out an abstract alternative to Landau's picture, couched in the language of Smale, with images of space as a pliable material to be squeezed, stretched, and folded into shapes like horseshoes.
~ James Gleick
If you could write down the solution to a differential equation," Yorke said, "then necessarily it's not chaotic, because to write it down, you must find regular invariants, things that are conserved, like angular momentum. You find enough of these things, and that lets you write down a solution. But this is exactly the way to eliminate the possibility of chaos.
~ James Gleick
'Broadchurch' is very different, but it's equally as good as 'The Killing' - if not better.
~ Arthur Darvill
Millions of statements are made about the president every day on every subject and from every standpoint; threats of violence are not an integral feature of any one subject or viewpoint as distinct from others. Differential treatment of threats against the president, then, selects nothing but special risks, not special messages.
~ David Souter
