Quotes About Spin

The studies concluded that the graviton must be massless and chargeless, and must have the quantum mechanical property known as spin-2. (Very roughly, the graviton should spin like a top, twice as fast as the spin of a photon.)
~ Brian Greene
The axis of spin for the planet Arrakis is at right angles to the radius of its orbit. The world itself is not a globe, but more a spinning top somewhat fat at the equator and concave toward the poles. There is a sense that this may be artificial, the product of some ancient artifice. Report of the Third Imperial Commission on Arrakis
~ Brian Herbert
May there only be peaceful and cheerful Earth Days to come for our beautiful Spaceship Earth as it continues to spin and circle in frigid space with its warm and fragile cargo of animate life.
~ Thant Myint-U
I've been DJing since before I could read the labels on the records.
~ Mayer Hawthorne
He's the ultimate plagiarist, copying what others do if it proves successful and putting his own spin on it, which really pisses me off, because it`s far more difficult to come up with the original idea than steal someone else`s and spruce it up a bit.
~ Karen Marie Moning
At playtime she twirled and spun across the playground so fast that none of the little boys in her class could catch her and they were all very cross.
~ Katherine Holabird
But the point is not to spin the narrative; that defeats the purpose, in some way, of story itself. You can't change the tale so that you turned left one day instead of right, or didn't make the mistake that might have saved your life a day later. We don't get those choices. The story is what got you here, and embracing its truth is what makes the outcome bearable.
~ Gail Caldwell
Option one—whirl around
~ Brian Haig
and for all our grief we will hide our sorrows in our hearts, for weeping will not avail us. The immortals know no care, yet the lot they spin for man is full of sorrow.
~ Homer
Spin is a tricky thing. When you're trying to avoid it - say, on a tee shot, where sidespin puts you in the trees - it's easy to make it happen.
~ Ernie Els
I think it's really tough being in Donald Trump's shoes, when you've got the media looking to put the worst possible spin to everything that you say.
~ Blake Farenthold
The creature spun, tumbling, then twisted round to face its attacker, rage blazing in its skull.
~ Steven Erikson
I hated involving her in this, but knew I already had, even though I was doing it now. Trying to understand all this time-altering stuff made my head spin. Maybe one day I might learn how to contact Einstein and he could answer those questions.
~ Stuart Land
I spun around: the room was so empty, I wasn't even in it.
~ Stuart Land
The Gulf of Mexico, they believe, is a huge asteroid. That was an impact zone, you know that? Yeah, for that big a thing to actually hit our globe, it would have had to adjusted the spin, the axis.
~ Ridley Scott
To me, Shane Warne is a great turner of the ball. I like his aggressive attitude, I love the way he attacks batsmen, and I give him 100 per cent for that, as not enough spinners bowl with that approach, but in my estimation, Subhash Gupte was a better leg-spinner.
~ Garfield Sobers
If someone wants to try to hit a spinner over mid-on, with the ball turning away from the blade, there is a chance of taking a wicket.
~ Stuart Broad
The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.
~ Kevin Costner
...strands of your hair and tendrils of the wind spin into nothingness the memories of that day...
~ John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
What is the 'direction' of the Earth in its journey; where are the atoms 'going' when they spin?
~ Tom Robbins
And there is the fact that what matters is not how things are, but rather how they interact. Spin networks are not entities; they describe the effect of space upon things. Just as an electron is in no place-is diffused in a cloud of probability in all places-space is not actually forned by a single specific spin network, but rather by a cloud of probabilities over the whole range of all possible spin networks.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The quanta of gravity, that is, are not in space; they are themselves space. The spin networks that describe the quantum structure of the gravitational field are not immersed in space, they do not inhabit a space. The location of single quanta of space is not defined with regard to something else, but only by the links, and the relation these express.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Space is a spin network whose nodes represent its elementary grains, and whose links describe their proximity relations. Spacetime
~ Carlo Rovelli
In tragic life, God wot,No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:We are betrayed by what is false within.
~ George Meredith
