Quotes About Physics Light

#1. It must have appeared almost as improbable to the earlier geologists, that the laws of earthquakes should one day throw light on the origin of mountains, as it must to the first astronomers, that the fall of an apple should assist in explaining the motions of the moon.

Charles Lyell

#2. conformed to the principle of least action, a foundation of physics that holds that light or any object moving between two points should follow the easiest path.3 Planck's paper not only contributed to the development of relativity theory; it also helped to legitimize it among other physicists.

Walter Isaacson

#3. I can't do anything about my past, but I can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny. I am re-created in Christ Jesus, born anew, that I might do the good works that he laid out for me and live the good life.

Joyce Meyer

#4. If Feynman could see beauty as the inspiration for the theory of the rainbow, and if an electron could behave like a wave, and light like a particle, then the little contradiction of Leonard flitting among different subfields of physics, or even among varied careers, would not shake the universe.

Anonymous

#5. There can never be a clock at the center of the Universe to which everyone can set their watches. Your entire life can be the blink of an eye to an alien who leaves Earth traveling close to the speed of light, then returns an hour later to find that you have been dead for centuries.

Clifford A. Pickover

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

William Henry Bragg

#7. Alpha sets the scale of nature
the size of atoms and all things made of them, the intensity and colors of light, the strength of magnetism, and the metabolic rate of life itself. It controls everything that we see ... In 137, apparently, science had found Nature's PIN Code.

Frank Close

#8. Physicists have yet to find anything capable of exceeding our known speed of light. The Tao cannot be named, and so I say there is one thing that out-paces all things: we call it "thought." I can fill a room a with light before I'm anywhere near the switch.

Laurie Perez

#9. Santa knows Physics: Of all colors, Red Light penetrates fog best. That's why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the gig.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#10. The final section of the book returns to ourselves and asks how it is possible to think about our existence in the light of the strange world described by physics. The

Carlo Rovelli

#11. Physics is the science of all the tremendously powerful invisibilities - of magnetism, electricity, gravity, light, sound, cosmic rays. Physics is the science of the mysteries of the universe. How could anyone think it dull?

Dick Francis

#12. Sometimes I wonder if my heart is like a black hole--it's so dense that there's no room for light, but that doesn't mean it can't still suck me in.

Jasmine Warga

#13. There is no logical staircase running from the physics of 10-28 cm. to the physics of 1028 light-years.

Norwood Russell Hanson

#14. A financial crisis is a great time for professional investors and a horrible time for average ones.

Robert Kiyosaki

#15. 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

#16. It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.

Michel De Montaigne

#17. I just grew up loving acting and loving entertainment.

James Wolk

#18. I got bored with the topic; I felt this was 19th century physics. I was wondering if there was still something profound that could be made with light microscopy. So I saw that the diffraction barrier was the only important problem that had been left over.

Stefan Hell

#19. Light takes darkness vanish and worlds reappear. Light opens each day with a blaring overture, then throws its wands to earth and casts diamonds on lakes and oceans. Each night, lights tricks make the stars seem alive.

Bruce Watson

#20. I wanted to create a kind of substance by means of brush-work. But that is the kind of discovery which one makes gradually ... Thus it was that I subsequently began to introduce sand, sawdust and metal filings into my pictures.

Georges Braque

#21. What folly takes light through ether to each eye from every horizon.

Scarlett Thomas

#22. 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

#23. The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Ben Macintyre

#24. Loyalty to the family must be merged into loyalty to the community, loyalty to the community into loyalty to the nation, and loyalty to the nation into loyalty to mankind. The citizen of the future must be a citizen of the world.

Thomas Cochrane

#25. Light is the magician of the cosmos.

Bruce Watson

#26. If you believe you can, you might. If you know you can, you will.

Steve Maraboli

#27. Fine Structure Constant: Fundamental numerical constant of atomic physics and quantum electrodynamics, defined as the square of the charge of the electron divided by the product of Planck's constant and the speed of light.

Steven Weinberg

#28. Today's particle physics describe light as a crumple in space, and we may have deformed space in such a way that they noticed something peculiar - and they had the ability to investigate it.

Dwight Schultz

#29. Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him

Jeremy Aldana

#30. 'Vogue' celebrates plenty of women of substance.

Tina Brown

#31. I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Robert Smithson

#32. I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things ...

Maya Angelou

#33. That's not going to happen, because I don't want it to happen. I don't want a movie about me until I'm very, very old - when I'm very, very old, everybody that wants to play me will be middle-aged.

Stevie Nicks

#34. Light - i.e. space - is the structure of time, the essence of existence. The stuff of physics does not involve time. Orthodox contemporary physics sadly refers to this fact as the problem of time.

Eric Bredesen

#35. I guess a man's best friend is his mother.

Vina Delmar

#36. Newt Gingrich had a horrible week in the Iowa caucuses. Only 13 percent of his ex-wives voted for him.
