Sound is a movement which is handed on from atom to atom in a gas through which the sound is passing, just as a chain of workers pass buckets of water to a fire. The quicker the workers move their… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort of combination with each other: occasionally, atom must meet atom and, so to speak, each hold… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
Let us think of Nature as a builder, making all that we see out of atoms of a limited number of kinds, just as… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
The infinite variety in the properties of the solid materials we find in the world is really the expression of the infinite variety of… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
The difference between a gas and a liquid is that in the former, the atoms and molecules move to and fro in an independent… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
Science is experimental, moving forward step-by-step, making trial and learning through success and failure. Is not this also the way of religion, and especially… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
The chemist, whose science is immediately concerned with the combinations of atoms, has rarely found it necessary to discuss their shapes, and gives them… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
Sound is a movement which is handed on from atom to atom in a gas through which the sound is passing, just as a… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
After a year's research, one realizes that it could have been done in a week. — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
The atoms may be compared to the letters of the alphabet, which can be put together into innumerable ways to form words. So the… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
Broadly speaking, the discovery of X-rays has increased the keenness of our vision ten thousand times, and we can now 'see' the individual atoms… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
Whenever we warm our hands by the fire, we allow the energy radiated by the fire to quicken up the movements of the atoms… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
From religion comes a man's purpose; from science, his power to achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed to… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share
