“The only thing you really know is you either are attracted or you're not. It's like physics, bouncing off each other like pinballs.”— Phyllis Nagy, Dannie McElroy, John Magaro, imdb.com
“Franny: Gary, they're teenagers. School is their job. Raja gets straight A's, but Claire really needs to get that history grade up. And Justin, he needs work on his physics... Justin: Yeah. Franny: ...social skills... Justin: What?”— Robia Rashid, Franny, Amy Pietz, imdb.com
“The speed of the ball—thanks to opposition from the air—will not go on increasing forever. Rather, what will happen is seen in bodies of very little weight falling through no great distance; I mean, a reduction to equable motion, which will occur also in a lead or iron ball after the descent of some…”— Galileo Galilei, en.wikiquote.org
“My purpose is to set forth a very new science dealing with a very ancient subject. There is, in nature, perhaps nothing older than motion, concerning which the books written by philosophers are neither few nor small; nevertheless I have discovered by experiment some properties of it which are worth…”— Galileo Galilei,
“The simplest answer is that we don't know. In fact, it remains one of the biggest unanswered problems of modern physics.”— Don Lincoln, cnn.com
“Truth is what the scientist aims at. He finds nothing at rest, nothing enduring, in the universe. Not everything is knowable, still less predictable. But the mind of man is capable of grasping and understanding at least a part of Creation; amid the flight of phenomena stands the immutable pole of la…”— Max Born, en.wikiquote.org
“There are metaphysical problems, which cannot be disposed of by declaring them meaningless. For, as I have repeatedly said, they are ‘beyond physics’ indeed and demand an act of faith. We have to accept this fact to be honest. There are two objectionable types of believers: those who believe the inc…”— Max Born, en.wikiquote.org
“I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy. It has revolutionized fundamental concepts, e.g., about space and time (relativity), about causality (quantum theory), and about substance and matter (atomistics). It has taught us new methods of thinking (complementarity), which ar…”— Max Born, en.wikiquote.org
“The ultimate origin of the difficulty lies in the fact (or philosophical principle) that we are compelled to use the words of common language when we wish to describe a phenomenon, not by logical or mathematical analysis, but by a picture appealing to the imagination. Common language has grown by ev…”— Max Born, todayinsci.com
“It was at this time that I sought for (and sometimes achieved) an intense concentration, a complete absorption in the worlds of mineralogy and chemistry and physics, in science--focusing on them, holding myself together in the chaos.”— Oliver Sacks, amazon.com
“I got caught cheating on my physics exam. Furious, my professor said to me "I hope you understand the gravity of the situation". But if I had known that, I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.”— Random_Letters_btmwq, reddit.com
“Just an FYI: It takes twice as much energy to throw a baseball 100mph than it does to throw one at 70mph. Do The Physics.”— Neil deGrasse Tyson, twitter.com
“A bullet fired level from a gun will hit ground at same time as a bullet dropped from the same height. Do the Physics.”— Neil deGrasse Tyson, twitter.com
“Slowest pitch in Baseball to reach catcher? 30mph, thrown at 45-deg angle. Any slower at any other angle hits ground.”— Neil deGrasse Tyson, twitter.com
“There was a young lady of Wight who travelled much faster than light. She departed one day, in a relative way, and arrived on the previous night.”— Stephen Hawking, books.google.com
“It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.”— Stephen Hawking, books.google.com
