Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it--an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking… — H. L. Mencken Copy Share Image
I notice that, in the lecture … which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris … he brought forward certain freak formulae for… — Henry Edward Armstrong Copy Share Image
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but… — Robert A. Heinlein Copy Share Image
The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on… — Pieter Zeeman Copy Share Image
I always imagined myself somehow as an electron around some atom, and you're just, like, bouncing around and spinning. There was a… — Tom Freston Copy Share Image
“Choice, is what presents us with a multitude of paths, because choice creates a flow of electrons through the brain in a… — Kevin Michel Copy Share Image
Everything in the phenomenal universe is straight line and circle. The horizon, our heads, arms, electrons, the oceans, planets and stars. Their… — Alonzo King Copy Share Image
New ways of seeing can disclose new things: the radio telescope revealed quasars and pulsars, and the scanning electron microscope showed the… — William Least Heat-Moon Copy Share Image
The only way to look at men is like they're electrons. They have all these charges sticking out, and they're always looking… — Candace Bushnell Copy Share Image
When you sit in a chair, you are not actually sitting there, but levitating above it at a height of one angstrom… — Bill Bryson Copy Share Image
According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to… — Pieter Zeeman Copy Share Image
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
One might talk about the sanity of the atom the sanity of space the sanity of the electron the sanity of water-… — D. H. Lawrence Copy Share Image

It is a fascinating fact that father and son have given the most striking evidence for the apparently contradictory properties of the… — Max Born Copy Share Image
“The color of the emitted light depends on the relative heights of the starting and ending energy levels. A crash between closely… — Sam Kean Copy Share Image
Unlike mathematical theorems, scientific results can't be proved. They can only be tested again and again, until only a fool would not… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Whether looked at from outside or inside, bodies dissolve, matter vanishes, spirit remains - once we bother to go into the matter.… — Douglas Harding Copy Share Image
My wife and I have long discussions about [George] Carlin, and we refuse to accept that he died an atheist. It's just,… — Jay Mohr Copy Share Image
