Quotes About Electromagnetism

#1. The forces that govern our experience, electromagnetism and gravity, are blind to the distinction between left and right. No process moderated by either force can turn something such as your right hand into its mirror image. I cannot

Lawrence M. Krauss

#2. Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism - all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.

Brian Greene

#3. Stunned by love and some would say stupid from too much sex, I decided I had to drive down south to kill a man.

William Giraldi

#4. An 'unemployed' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.

Jose Ortega Y Gasset

#5. If the hand be held between the discharge-tube and the screen, the darker shadow of the bones is seen within the slightly dark shadow-image of the hand itself ... For brevity's sake I shall use the expression 'rays'; and to distinguish them from others of this name I shall call them 'X-rays'.

Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen

#6. We discover our true selves in love.

Thomas Merton

#7. Surprisingly now, over a half a century later, time symmetric approaches to electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, gravity, and cosmology might be consonant with the kind of eschatology that a theist such as Pannenberg supports.

Robert John Russell

#8. Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism is generally studied only by advanced students of physics, but Albert had mastered it by the time he was sixteen years old.

Robert Cwiklik

#9. Way back in 1831, Michael Faraday, one of the founders of our modern understanding of electromagnetism, was asked by an inquiring politician about the usefulness of this newfangled "electricity" stuff. His apocryphal reply: "I know not, but I wager that one day your government will tax it".

Sean Carroll

#10. Faraday has the Cage, Tesla has the Coil and Magee has the Sandwich!

Steven Magee

#11. Laplace's Demon, the hypothetical imp that knows the instantaneous positions and velocities of every particle in the universe, was said to be able to calculate the entire future or past by plugging these values into the equations that express the laws of mechanics and electromagnetism.

Steven Pinker

#12. Most people don't really understand what it takes to get a film made, and the struggles .I think anyone who makes a film goes through their own set of struggles.

Barbara Broccoli

#13. As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.

Edward Witten

#14. Most of the American skyjackers who fled abroad eventually elected to return to the United States, having tired of life on the lam. These homecomings typically involved prearranged surrenders to the FBI, in the hopes of earning lenient sentences.

Brendan I. Koerner

#15. If within us we find nothing over us we succumb to what is around us.

Peter Forsyth

#16. The accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago.

Ramez Naam

#17. No space, no time, no gravity, no electromagnetism, no particles. Nothing. We are back where Plato, Aristotle and Parmenides struggled with the great questions: How Come the Universe, How Come Us, How Come Anything? But happily also we have around the answer to these questions. That's us.

John Archibald Wheeler

#18. The ultimate aim of all science is to penetrate the unknown.

Walter Reisch

#19. Light brings us the news of the Universe.

William Henry Bragg

#20. When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force.

David Gross

#21. I don't remember consciously not being able to play an instrument. It's been kind of like a language for me.

Kristian Bush

#22. Faraday is, and must always remain, the father of that enlarged science of electromagnetism.

James Clerk Maxwell

#23. It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Sarah Addison Allen

#24. If print was invented tomorrow, it would be the death of digital.

Vaughan Oliver

#25. The fine structure constant is undoubtedly the most fundamental pure (dimensionless) number in all of physics. It relates the basic constants of electromagnetism (the charge of the electron), relativity (the speed of light), and quantum mechanics (Planck's constant).

David J. Griffiths

#26. The presence and the power of the glorified Christ will come to them that are of a humble spirit.

Andrew Murray

#27. Everybody was feeling happy now. The sun was shining brightly out of a soft blue sky and the day was calm. The giant peach, with the sunlight glinting on its side, was like a massive golden ball sailing upon a silver sea.

Roald Dahl
