Relativity Space Quotes

#1. The 4D style, or cosmic comics and relativistic humor, is based on Einstein's theory of relativity which I came up with 20 years ago. 4D works use the idea of the fourth dimension, time, playing on such surrealistic and amazing subjects as motion relativity, space curvature and time dilation.

Javad Alizadeh

#2. In the context of general relativity, space almost is a substance. It can bend and twist and stretch, and probably the best way to think about space is to just kind of imagine a big piece of rubber that you can pull and twist and bend.

Alan Guth

#3. Relativity theory forced the abandonment, in principle, of absolute space and absolute time.

Marshall McLuhan

#4. Desire is always followed by boredom. And only love can defeat boredom. Love with a capital L; we all dream of it.

Gregoire Delacourt

#5. Asked in 1919 whether it was true that only three people in the world understood the theory of general relativity, [Eddington] allegedly replied: 'Who's the third?

Arthur Stanley Eddington

#6. We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change.

Kip Thorne

#7. To the youngsters of today, I say "Believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity." Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything.

Walt Disney

#8. Truth is quantum. It is beyond space and time. Relativity only proves this.

Dean Cavanagh

#9. If I had to fight dirty to keep him, then I'd be the dirtiest motherfucker there ever was.

Cambria Hebert

#10. Where there is no consciousness, there is no time.

Wayne Gerard Trotman

#11. When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.

Albert Einstein

#12. you do not know how to give a good counsel, it is better

William Loehe

#13. Our perception of space-time can be thought of in terms of event coordinates relative to our current state of consciousness.

Wayne Gerard Trotman

#14. His new idea was published that month in what became yet another seminal Einstein paper, "Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativity."9 On the surface, it did indeed seem to be based on a crazy notion: space has no borders because gravity bends it back on itself. Einstein

Walter Isaacson

#15. I heard that in relativity theory, space and time are the same thing. Einstein discovered this when he kept showing up three miles late for his meetings.

Steven Wright

#16. Back in 1917, when Einstein had analyzed the "cosmological considerations" arising from his general theory of relativity, most astronomers thought that the universe consisted only of our Milky Way, floating with its 100 billion or so stars in a void of empty space.

Walter Isaacson

#17. More careful reflection teaches us, however, that the special theory of relativity does not compel us to deny ether...To deny the ether is ultimately to assume that empty space has no physical qualities whatever.

Albert Einstein

#18. A mathematician tells you that the wall of warped space prevents the Moon from flying out of its orbit yet can't tell you why an astronaut can go back and forth across that same space.

Bill Gaede

#19. Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal clear whether or not what we're dealing with are black holes as described by general relativity.

Kip Thorne

#20. It is ironic that Einsteins most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed [..] ...

Robert B. Laughlin

#21. The rhythm of relations of color and size makes the absolute appear in the relativity of time and space.

Piet Mondrian

#22. Formerly, people thought that if matter disappeared from the universe, space and time would remain. Relativity declares that space and time would disappear with matter.

Albert Einstein

#23. Matter tells space how to curve, space tells matter how to move.

Albert Einstein

#24. Special relativity declares a similar law for all motion: the combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.

Brian Greene

#25. What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.

Lewis Hamilton

#26. If one could see an infinite distance, they would observe the back of their head. That is Einstein's theory in a nut-shell.

R. Alan Woods

#27. Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Stephen Hawking

#28. In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when you bend it or stretch it as long as you don't break anything.

Edward Witten

#29. I like relativity and quantum theories because I don't understand them and they make me feel as if space shifted about like a swan that can't settle, refusing to sit still and be measured; and as if the atom were an impulsive thing always changing its mind.

D.H. Lawrence

#30. Watch yourself as you go about your daily business and later reflect on what you saw, trying to identify the sources of distress in your life and thinking about how to avoid that distress.

Epictetus

#31. But now I'm wondering if I need it anymore, if we ever really need these words, "Dauntless," "Erudite," "Divergent," "Allegiant," or if we can just be friends or lovers or siblings, defined instead by the choices we make and the love and loyalty that binds us.

Veronica Roth

#32. If time is a line, it is a special one.

John Barbour

#33. You can invoke neither time nor space nor matter not energy nor the laws of nature to explain the origin of the universe. General relativity points to the need for a cause that transcends those domains. ~Stephen C. Meyer, PHD~

Lee Strobel

#34. Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you've built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.

Brian Greene

#35. All space is relative. There is no such thing as size. The telescope and the microscope have produced a deadly leveling of great and small, far and near. The only little thing is sin, the only great thing is fear!
("The Jelly-Fish")

David H. Keller

#36. In my relativity theory I set up a clock at every point in space, but in reality I find it difficult to provide even one clock in my room.

Albert Einstein

#37. I don't dare to think my paintings are great. I can't understand the arrogance of someone saying, 'I have created a big, important work.'

Gerhard Richter
