Quotes about atoms
atoms calculate difficulty dot goes guess inside might understood
What goes on inside a star is better understood than one might guess from the difficulty of having to look at a little dot of light through a telescope, because we can calculate what the atoms in the stars should do in most circumstances. Richard P. Feynman
atoms certain job particular wants
Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.
atoms buried crash immediate increased job longer people reaction samples solar three wind work
My immediate reaction was that our job had just increased by two or three years, but that the samples were still there. A 200 miles-per-hour crash isn't going to dislodge solar wind atoms that are buried in the collectors. It's going to take longer and people are going to have to work harder...but the samples are still there.
atoms hydrogen percent rock whereas
When you vaporize rock, there is very little hydrogen -- whereas 50 percent of the atoms in a rock are oxygen.
atoms became began coming highly negatively positively
As the craft re-entered earth's atmosphere, it was coming in so fast, it heated up the surrounding atoms and molecules, and they became positively and negatively charged, and highly reactive, and began luminescing all around us. Helen Sharman
atoms bombs plant
If the Russians ever decide to atom bomb us, they're certain to drop an especially large one on the plant in Pleasantville. Billy Rose
atoms benefits civilian disaster emphasis greatest grow individual left level matter modest offers society
New regulations would be a disaster at this point. Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the level of individual atoms and molecules, offers the greatest benefits for society if left to grow through modest regulation, civilian research, and an emphasis on self-regulation and responsible professional culture.
atoms billion common cosmos gaze planet seven trace
If we do find ET, we will at least have something in common with them. They may live on planet Zog and have seven tentacles, but they will be made of the same kinds of atoms as us. If they have eyes, they will gaze out on the same cosmos as we do. They will, like us, trace their origins back to a 'Big Bang' 13.8 billion years ago. Martin Rees
atoms void
Nothing exists but atoms and the void. Democritus
atoms spirituality convergence
The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality. Dalai Lama
atoms interact involves normally quantum weirdness
We talk about quantum weirdness and things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and molecules, stuff we don't normally interact with. Aaron D. O'Connell
atoms care faith flowering god love taking
I would love to have faith. When you take God out of the universe, there is no-one taking care us - we are just parcels of meat, collections of atoms - we have a little flowering on Earth, and then we're gone. Michel Faber
atoms british-scientist sit
You may have heard the world is made up of atoms and molecules, but it's really made up of stories. When you sit with an individual that's been here, you can give quantitative data a qualitative overlay.
atoms gas liquid molecules move partners though whereas
The difference between a gas and a liquid is that in the former, the atoms and molecules move to and fro in an independent existence, whereas in the latter, they are always in touch with one another, though they are changing partners continually. William Henry Bragg
atoms combined compared form letters variety ways
The atoms may be compared to the letters of the alphabet, which can be put together into innumerable ways to form words. So the atoms are combined in equal variety to form what are called molecules.
atoms expression materials molecules properties solid strength tied variety ways
The infinite variety in the properties of the solid materials we find in the world is really the expression of the infinite variety of the ways in which the atoms and molecules can be tied together, and of the strength of those ties.
atoms enter far fast great hands hold meet motion pace sort time vain
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort of combination with each other: occasionally, atom must meet atom and, so to speak, each hold out vain hands to the other, but the pace is too great and, in a moment, they are far away from each other again.
atoms discovery increased individual ten thousand vision
Broadly speaking, the discovery of X-rays has increased the keenness of our vision ten thousand times, and we can now 'see' the individual atoms and molecules.
atoms builder constructs kinds limited nature
Let us think of Nature as a builder, making all that we see out of atoms of a limited number of kinds, just as the builder of a house constructs it out of so many different kinds of things: bricks, slates, planks, panes of glass, and so on.
atoms contains fuel spread thousands whose
We are 'nuclear waste' from the fuel that makes stars shine; indeed, each of us contains atoms whose provenance can be traced back to thousands of different stars spread through our Milky Way.
atoms autonomous breaking concepts equations however offer quantum science scientists tropical
Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws.
atoms billion bodies comet earth far four half library low picked records solar stardust sun system using virtually
Virtually all of the atoms in our bodies and in the Earth were in interstellar grains - stardust grains - before the solar system formed. We're using this comet as a library that picked up records of the formation of our solar system, and has been storing them far from the sun at very low temperatures for four and a half billion years.
atoms distance smaller
The photons are smaller than the distance between atoms in the material.
atoms biological fastest molecular move per possible speeds systems turns
It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second. Ahmed Zewail
atoms colleagues finally gentle interact observe project time
We thought it would be nice to have atoms interact in such a gentle way with the photons that they would just take an imprint of the photons, so that many atoms could 'see' the same photon and it would give rise to a lot of interesting effects. Myself and my colleagues had this project for a very long time and we were finally able to observe it.
atoms hypothesis putting work
I started my scientific work by putting forward a hypothesis on the arrangement of atoms in nitrogen-containing molecules. Alfred Werner
atoms bond imagination memory settle
Every so often, the memory atoms bond with the imagination atoms and something interesting -- a fictive precipitate -- will settle out of the solution. James Morrow
atoms began continued galaxies period stars universe until
There should have been a period when most of the atoms in the universe were neutral. This would have continued until stars and galaxies began forming.
atoms universe
The universe is made up of stories, not of atoms Muriel Rukeyser
atoms mutual nuclear trust
It is really about trust and mutual respect. It is much more than just atoms and nuclear energy.
atoms looks experiments
Now I know what the atom looks like. Ernest Rutherford
atoms matter virtue
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... Max Planck
atoms language used
When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. Niels Bohr
