Theory Of Gravity Quotes

#1. Some claim evolution is just a theory. As if it were merely an opinion. The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact. Evolution really happened. Accepting our kinship with all life on Earth is not only solid science. In my view, it's also a soaring spiritual experience.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#2. The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a very tight and consistent way. It contains in its basic structure both quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity. That's big news.

Leonard Susskind

#3. We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.

Kip Thorne

#4. The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#5. In the classical theory of gravity, which is based on real space-time, there are only two possible ways the universe can behave: either it has existed for an infinite time, or else it had a beginning at a singularity at some finite time in the past.

Stephen Hawking

#6. Evolution is a fact. It is the best explanation of what is known from observations. It's a theory as powerful as the theory of gravity.

Donald Johanson

#7. Three of the four forces (excluding gravity) are therefore united by quantum theory, giving us unification without geometry, which appears to contradict the theme of this book and everything we have considered so far.

Michio Kaku

#8. I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

Antony Garrett Lisi

#9. However, one new theory says that dark matter may be ordinary matter in a parallel universe. If a galaxy is hovering above in another dimension, we would not be able to see it. It would be invisible, yet we would feel its gravity. Hence, it might explain dark matter.

Michio Kaku

#10. There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.

Walter Cronkite

#11. But actually theory is very practical. Gravity is a theory, for example. It allows you to predict that if you step off a cliff you will fall; you don't have to collect data on that.

Clayton Christensen

#12. Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions.

Edward Witten

#13. If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.

Graham Nash

#14. I have a bit of a problem with 'American Idol.' Forgive me, but it's difficult for me to watch. I can't help but think of people being exploited. On the other hand, I'm really enjoying 'Glee.'

Lesley Gore

#15. String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the two nuclear forces, can be viewed, as music.

Michio Kaku

#16. 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

#17. A man who overindulges lives in a dream. He becomes conceited. He thinks the whole world revolves around him; and it usually does.

W.C. Fields

#18. 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

#19. The word 'circumnavigate' is quite a beautiful word.

Cate Blanchett

#20. Tokyo is a model of that serial big-bang theory of the universe. It explodes at five P.M. and people matter is hurled to the suburbs, but by 5 A.M. the people-matter gravity reasserts itself, and everything surges back toward the center, where mass densens for the next explosion.

David Mitchell

#21. I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

Brian Greene

#22. Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch.

Jim Parsons

#23. Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the thought is staggering.

R. Buckminster Fuller

#24. His entire presence was like gravity, impossible to forget, possible to believe in, a theory merged into a law.

Shannon A. Thompson

#25. There is nothing like first-hand evidence.

Arthur Conan Doyle

#26. 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

#27. Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually increased.

Lee Smolin

#28. In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation ... as music.

Roy H. Williams

#29. But what if we find we don't suit?"
"Then ye'll do as the rest o' us and work at suiting.

Karen Hawkins

#30. Well, evolution's just a theory.' And, I'm thinking to myself, 'Well, thank goodness gravity's a law.'

Marc Maron

#31. String theory's biggest prediction is that gravity exists. That's good. That's a lot more than preceding theories could do.

Sheldon Lee Glashow

#32. Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person's sense of self-worth.

Anthony Carmona

#33. The evolution of higher and of lower forms of life is as well and as soundly established as the eternal hills. It has long since ceased to be a theory; it is a law of Nature as universal in living things as is the law of gravitation in material things and in the motions of the heavenly spheres.

Henry Fairfield Osborn

#34. There's things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other form of life and I've got a strange personality. But film requires strange people, so I've got a nice comfy home.

Denzel Washington

#35. When logics die,
The secret of the soil grows through the eye,
And blood jumps in the sun;
Above the waste allotments the dawn halts.

Dylan Thomas

#36. There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.

Edward Witten

#37. Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don't see you jumping out of buildings.

Richard Dawkins

#38. What the string theorists do is arguably physics. It deals with the physical world. They're attempting to make a consistent theory that explains the interactions we see among particles and gravity as well. That's certainly physics, but it's a kind of physics that is not yet testable.

Sheldon Lee Glashow

#39. No one talks about it. No one talks about them at all. "The Ancients prefer discretion," Mom once told me. But some say it's because they're so freakish we'd drop dead of fright. Others say they're too attractive, too tempting. I prefer this theory.

Melissa West
