Quotes About Motion

I love action films. It's my favorite genre.

Alas, their love may be call'd appetite. No motion of the liver, but the palate

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.

I love every aspect of the creation of motion pictures and I guess I am committed to it for life.

It was the hour of morning, when the sun mounts with those stars that shone with it when God's own love first set in motion those fair things

And I love shooting football.

Neither love nor fire can subsist without perpetual motion; both cease to live so soon as they cease to hope, or to fear.

did another line and believed him because it is easier to move through the motions than not to.

General relativity then establishes that objects move toward regions where time elapses more slowly; in a sense, all objects "want" to age as slowly as possible. From an Einsteinian perspective, that explains why an object falls when you let go of it.

undulations do

Special relativity declares a similar law for all motion: the combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.

According to special relativity, no longer can space and time be thought of as universal concepts set in stone, experienced identically by everyone. Rather, space and time emerged from Einstein's reworking as malleable constructs whose form and appearance depend on one's state of motion.

The principle of relativity rests on a simple fact: Whenever we discuss speed or velocity (an object's speed and its direction of motion), we must specify precisely who or what is doing the measuring.

These frozen moments are grouped into nows—into events that happen at the same time—in different ways by observers in different states of motion.

The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

Figure 3.3 Newton's drawing of a cannon on a mountain In Newton's famous cannon-on-a-mountain sketch, the dropped cannonball falls straight downward, while those fired with larger

Twentieth-century physics, going full circle back to Heracleitus, postulates that all matter is in motion. In other words, there is no thing, only energy.

At that moment the rooster was a tiny, light brown, fluffy ball. No clues to future developments could yet be discerned. All existence went along happily under the will of heaven. With the accelerating motion of nonexistence, unstable embarrassing details gradually displaced themselves.

Things had been falling down since the beginning of time.

Kepler's second law: A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. It takes as long to travel from B to A as from F to E as from D to C; and the shaded areas BSA, FSE and DSC are all equal.

All three of Kepler's laws of planetary motion can be derived from Newtonian principles. Kepler's laws were empirical, based upon the painstaking observations of Tycho Brahe. Newton's laws were theoretical, rather simple mathematical abstractions from which all of Tycho's measurements could ultimately be derived. From these laws, Newton wrote with undisguised pride in the Principia, "I now demonstrate the frame of the System of the World.

And when I concentrate on the stars, the planets, and their motions, I have an irresistible sense of machinery, clockwork, elegant precision working on a scale that, however lofty our aspirations, dwarfs and humbles us.

He was always running or bounding, never just walking. He seemed always at the point of defeating the law of gravity.

Legs were suddenly all about them.
