Quotes About Temperature

You can't cook without a pot to cook in, and leadership is as much about strengthening the pot and controlling the temperature as it is about which ingredients to add when.
~ Ronald A. Heifetz
At ninety-eight point six everything is boring. Yet
~ Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Its 75 Degrees! In December!
~ Sarah Dessen
During an ordinary Quest day, a fifty-pound dog needs the caloric equivalent of twenty double cheeseburgers, and more if the temperature drops.
~ John Balzar
In recent years astronomers have made newspaper headlines all over the world by mapping this radiation in exquisite detail with receivers carried on balloons and satellites. We know that the radiation has the spectrum of pure heat radiation to very high precision and its temperature is the same in different directions on the sky to an accuracy of about one part in 100,000.
~ John D. Barrow
If constants like G and ? do not vary in time, then the standard history of our Universe has a simple broad-brush appearance. During the first 300,000 years the dominant energy in the Universe is radiation and the temperature is greater than 3000 degrees and too hot for any atoms or molecules to exist. The Universe is a huge soup of electrons, photons of light and nuclei.
~ John D. Barrow
A 4'33 összesen 273 másodpercet jelent, amire a fizikus rögtön felkapja a fejét. A -273 Celsius-fok az abszolút nulla hÅ'mérsékletet jelenti. Ez az az energiaszint, ahol megsz?nik minden molekuláris mozgás, ami azt is jelenti, hogy ezt a hÅ'mérsékletet már nem lehet tovább csökkenteni. Cage e m?vével a hang abszolút nullpontját kívánta megmutatni.
~ John D. Barrow
Another consequence of an old expanding universe, besides its large size, is that it is cold, dark and lonely. When any ball of gas or radiation is expanded in volume, the temperature of its constituents falls off in proportion to the increase in its size. A universe that is big and old enough to contain the building blocks of complexity will be very cold and the levels of average radiant energy so low that space will everywhere appear dark.
~ John D. Barrow
the founders believed a president should cool the passions of the people, not inflame them, because the national temperature would have a direct effect on the health of the republic. A president who was acting presidential would constrain his or her behavior accordingly.
~ John Dickerson
The illusion is an agreement between the reader and writer that this [story] will be like life. The emotional temperature drops when you have footnotes.
~ John Updike
Life can be thought of as water kept at the right temperature in the right atmosphere in the right light for a long enough period of time.
~ N.J. Berrill
On a global scale we have the example of pollution. Individual humans have freely burned fossil fuels and greatly increased the amount of greenhouse gases such as CO2, leading to a continuing rise in the earth's temperature over the last century. The tiny particles also emitted have caused lung diseases and deaths. But each polluter gains more individually from his own actions than he loses, so he has no direct pressure to change.
~ Edward O. Thorp
It must grace the festivity of the wedding; it must enliven the gloom of the funeral. It must cheer the intercourse of friends and enlighten the fatigue of labor. Success deserves a treat and disappointment needs it. The busy drink because they are busy; the idle because they have nothing else to do. The farmer must drink because his work is hard; the mechanic because his employment is sedentary and dull. It is warm, men drink to be cool; it is cool, they drink to be warm.27
~ Edward Slingerland
Experience has taught me that the way a market behaves is an excellent guide for an operator to follow. It is like taking a patient's temperature and pulse or noting the colour of the eye-balls and the coating of the tongue.
~ Edwin Lefevre
It was one of those nights when the air is blood-temperature and it's impossible to tell where you leave off and it begins.
~ Elaine Dundy
Spring was ravishing around town, bursting and budding and blooming. It was one of those nights when the air is blood-temperature and it's impossible to tell where you leave off and it begins.
~ Elaine Dundy
The National Sleep Foundation recommends 65 degrees and says that sleep is actually disrupted when the temperature rises above 75 degrees or falls below 54 degrees.
~ Arianna Huffington
If you underdress your baby, he'll probably let you know about it; babies usually complain loudly when they're too cold. Babies who are too hot, though, tend not to complain, preferring instead to lie there listlessly.
~ Armin A. Brott
Liquid helium belongs to a class of fluids known as quantum fluids, as distinct from classical fluids.
~ David Lee
The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.
~ Stephen Hawking
Calgary wins for my coldest New Year's Eve gig. That's when I learned Fahrenheit and Celsius cross at 40 below. I could see callers' breath coming out of my phone.
~ Elayne Boosler
Life is fragile: it thrives only in a narrow range of temperatures between freezing and boiling. How lucky that our planet is just the right distance from the sun: a little farther, and the death of the perpetual Antarctic winter - or worse - would prevail; a little closer, and the surface would truly fry anything that touched it.
~ Leonard Susskind
It's not the winter that bothers me - it's the summers.
~ Walter Alston
In Tahoe, you want to be able check on the temperature of the house or turn it on before you get there. Because it's really cold in the winter.
~ Tony Fadell
