Top 1200 Laws Of Physics Quotes & Sayings - Page 19

Physics is a good framework for thinking. ... Boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there.

I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.

The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.

Ah, political physics. Someone wins an election and, poof, they are a candidate for vice president. Ridiculous.

I think that the discovery of antimatter was perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps in physics in our century.

If laws were real they wouldn’t need to be enforced, because if they were real they couldn’t be broken. Try breaking the law of gravity. Now that’s a law. Laws made by man are rules reflecting the current status of his moral codes. As he alters and whittles away his morality, casting bits and pieces aside, his codes change to reflect it.

[T]he yeoman's work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest.

You can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism.

The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.

In the Laws it is maintained that the best constitution is made up of democracy and tyranny, which are either not constitutions at all, or are the worst of all. But they are nearer the truth who combine many forms; for the constitution is better which is made up of more numerous elements. The constitution proposed in the Laws has no element of monarchy at all; it is nothing but oligarchy and democracy, leaning rather to oligarchy.

'The Turner Diaries' is a racist daydream by a former physics teacher writing under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald.

The laws of thermodynamics, as empirically determined, express the approximate and probable behavior of systems of a great number of particles, or, more precisely, they express the laws of mechanics for such systems as they appear to beings who have not the fineness of perception to enable them to appreciate quantities of the order of magnitude of those which relate to single particles, and who cannot repeat their experiments often enough to obtain any but the most probable results.

Biology will tell you a lot of things, but there are many that it can not explain and you need to look at physics instead.

I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on.

That conclusion is inescapable, given the well-established evidence that voter-ID laws don't disenfranchise minorities or reduce minority voting, and in many instances enhance it, despite claims to the contrary by Mr. Holder and his allies. As more states adopt such laws, the left has railed against them with increasing fury, even invoking the specter of the Jim Crow era to describe electoral safeguards common to most nations, including in the Third World.

Teaching physics at the University, and more general lecturing to wider audiences has been a major concern.

You have to do what the story demands, but inside of those constraints, I try to inject as much realistic physics as I'm allowed to.

Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.

In physics, to be in two places at the same time would be a miracle; in politics it seems not merely normal, but natural.

A mathematician is an? individual who calls himself a 'physicist' and does 'physics' and physical experiments with abstract concepts.

It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality

We have an amazing engineering team in the company pushing the limits of device physics and some great partners in manufacturing.

Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.

Undercover investigations threw back the curtain on the systemic exploitation of animals on factory farms. The response by agribusiness interests has been to back laws that ban animal advocates from taking pictures or videos at these facilities, and ban the media from publishing any that are taken. The laws also make it a crime for animal advocates to seek employment at animal enterprises without disclosing their intentions.

Conquered states that have been accustomed to liberty and the government of their own laws can be held by the conqueror in three different ways. The first is to ruin them; the second, for the conqueror to go and reside there in person; and the third is to allow them to continue to live under their own laws, subject to a regular tribute, and to create in them a government of a few, who will keep the country friendly to the conqueror

Politics follows the lines of physics. Every action creates an equal and opposite reaction.

Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if you're lucky, you get strange clues.

[Question: What do you think was the most important physics idea to emerge this year?] We won't know for a few years.

Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.

Physics is really nothing more than a search for ultimate simplicity, but so far all we have is a kind of elegant messiness.

I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.

I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.

There is no religion in the world where there is a possibility of spiritual development outside of the context of that religion. This is only a modern invention. For example, Christian mystics were also Christians. They also went to Church and followed Christian laws. Hindu mystics were practicing Hindus; they didn't kill cows and have steak. They follow the Hindu laws and so on and so forth down the line and Sufism is no exception.

I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.

When I was a college student at Yale, I was studying physics and mathematics and was absolutely intent on becoming a theoretical physicist.

Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if youre lucky, you get strange clues.

We study biology, physics, movements of glaciers... Where are the classes on envy, feeling wronged, despair, bitterness.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

Herein is the explanation of the analogies, which exist in all the arts. They are the re-appearance of one mind, working in many materials to many temporary ends. Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakspeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it. Painting was called "silent poetry," and poetry "speaking painting." The laws of each art are convertible into the laws of every other.

If I wasn't acting or doing stand-up, I would be in animation. Or if I had the discipline I might studies physics.

[Human beings] will begin to recover the moment we take art as seriously as physics, chemistry or money.

One of the principal achievements of physics in the 20th century has been the revelation that the atom is not indivisible or elementary at all but has a complex structure.

I went to engineering school, I went to physics class. I said, 'Screw this, I don't want to be here. I'd much rather be at a club playing music.

The federal government overrules state laws where state laws permit medicinal marijuana for people dying of cancer. The federal government goes in and arrests these people, put them in prison with mandatory, sometimes life sentences. This war on drugs is totally out of control. If you want to regulate cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, it should be at the state level.

Of crimes injurious to the persons of private subjects, the most principal and important is the offense of taking away that life, which is the immediate gift of the great creator; and which therefore no man can be entitled to deprive himself or another of, but in some manner either expressly commanded in, or evidently deducible from, those laws which the creator has given us; the divine laws, I mean, of either nature or revelation.

There has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the power and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what is the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their power, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and find all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such laws.

In the most modern theories of physics probability seems to have replaced aether as "the nominative of the verb 'to undulate'."

The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.

It is due to justice; due to humanity; due to truth; due to the sympathies of our nature; in fine, to our character as a people, both abroad and at home, that they should be considered, as much as possible, in the light of human beings, and not as mere property. As such, they are acted on by our laws, and have an interest in our laws. They may be considered as making a part, though a degraded part, of the families to which they belong.

I am not enough of a mathematician to be able to judge either the well-foundedness or the limits of relativity in physics.

Computer science is to biology what calculus is to physics. It's the natural mathematical technique that best maps the character of the subject.

Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.

There is no democracy in physics. We can't say that some second-rate guy has as much right to opinion as Fermi.

... it is as true in morals as in physics that all force is imperishable; therefore the consequences of a human action never cease.

I went to engineering school, I went to physics class. I said, 'Screw this, I don't want to be here. I'd much rather be at a club playing music.'

The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists.

Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.

It is like most other ancient books - a mingling of falsehood and truth, of philosophy and folly - all written by men, and most of the men only partially civilized. Some of its laws are good - some infinitely barbarous. None of the miracles related were performed. . . . Take out the absurdities, the miracles, all that pertains to the supernatural - all the cruel and barbaric laws - and to the remainder I have no objection. Neither would I have for it any great admiration.
