Quotes About Motion

Everything is drawn inexorably toward the future.
~ Kip S. Thorne
No matter how hard we may try, we can only travel forward. The relativistic laws guarantee it.
~ Kip S. Thorne
Den, der raster, ruster.
~ Knud Rasmussen
Walk. Run. Ride.
~ Kristin Hannah
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
~ Carl Van Vechten
heat "always shows a tendency to equalize temperature differences and therefore to pass from hotter to colder bodies" [15]. A
~ Carlo Cercignani
Things change only in relation to one another. At a fundamental level, there is no time.
~ Carlo Rovelli
For everything that moves, time passes more slowly.
~ Carlo Rovelli
A moving object therefore experiences a shorter duration than a stationary one: a watch marks fewer seconds, a plant grows more slowly, a young man dreams less. For a moving object, time contracts.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Time, as Aristotle suggested, is the measure of change;
~ Carlo Rovelli
we understand the world by studying change, not by studying things.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Time passes more slowly for the one who keeps moving.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Proper time" depends not only on where you are and your degree of proximity to masses; it depends also on the speed at which you move. It's a strange enough fact in itself, but its consequences are extraordinary. Hold on tight, because we are about to take
~ Carlo Rovelli
The sun bends space around itself, and Earth does not turn around it because of a mysterious force but because it is racing directly in a space that inclines, like a marble that rolls in a funnel. There are no mysterious forces generated at the center of the funnel; it is the curved nature of the walls that causes the marble to roll. Planets circle around the sun, and things fall, because space curves.
~ Carlo Rovelli
That is, there is no meaning to the velocity of an object by itself: the only velocity that exists is the velocity of an object with respect to another object.
~ Carlo Rovelli
We see the sky turning around us every day, but we are the ones who are turning. Is the daily spectacle of a revolving universe "illusory"? No, it is real, but it doesn't involve the cosmos alone. It involves our relation with the sun and the stars. We understand it by asking ourselves how we move. Cosmic movement emerges from the relation between the cosmos and ourselves.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Newton nesnelerin uzayda hareket etti?ini, uzay?n da bo? bir kap, evren için büyük bir kutu oldu?unu hayal etmi?ti. Newton taraf?ndan icat edilen bu "uzay"?n, dünyan?n kutusunun neden yap?ld??? da belli de?ildi.
~ Carlo Rovelli
This is what Boltzmann understood. The difference between past and future does not lie in the elementary laws of motion; it does not reside in the deep grammar of nature. It is the natural disordering that leads to gradually less particular, less special situations.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Bir ???k ???n?n?n enerjisinin uzayda kesiksiz biçimde yay?lmad???, uzay?n noktalar?nda yer alan belirli say?da "enerji kuantumlar?ndan" olu?tu?u, bölünmeden hareket ettikleri ve bir birim olarak üretilip so?urulduklar? varsay?m?n? göz önünde tutuyorum.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Kuantum mekani?inde, bir ba?ka cisimle çarp??mad??? sürece hiçbir cismin belirli bir konumu yoktur.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Çok h?zl? hareket eden dalgac?klard?r. Kuantum mekani?inin garip kurallar?na göre yok olup yeniden ortaya ç?karlar, var olan ?eyler hiçbir zaman kararl? bir durumda olmaz; bir etkile?imden di?erine gerçekle?en bir s?çramadan ba?ka bir ?ey de?ildirler.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The difference between past and future does not lie in the elementary laws of motion; it does not reside in the deep grammar of nature. It is the natural disordering that leads to gradually less particular, less special situations.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Is?, s?cak nesnelerden so?uk nesnelere mutlak bir yasan?n zorlamas?yla geçmez: Yaln?zca bu yöndeki geçi?i daha yüksek bir olas?l?kla olur. Bunun nedeni iste ?udur: S?cak nesneye ait daha h?zl? bir atomun daha so?uk bir atoma çarpmas? ve enerjisinin biraz?n? b?rakmas? ve bunun tersinin olmamas?, istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bir olas?l?kt?r.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Looking at the sun going down, the eye of Copernicus had seen the world turning. Looking at a glass of still water, the eyes of Boltzmann saw atoms and molecules frenziedly moving
