I think the biggest thing to being an elite-level bobsledder is grit. You have to really want it. It's a very blue-collar… — Lauren Gibbs Copy Share Image
[Heisenberg's seminal 1925 paper initiating quantum mechanics marked] one of the great jumps—perhaps the greatest—in the development of twentieth century physics. — Abraham Pais Copy Share Image
[In eighteenth-century Britain] engineers for the most began as simple workmen, skilful and ambitious but usually illiterate and self-taught. They were either… — John Desmond Bernal Copy Share Image

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by,… — Carl Friedrich Gauss Copy Share Image
I don't let technology and mechanics hinder me from a good time. During one of a film premiere there was a party… — David Gordon Green Copy Share Image
“He is a mechanic of the brain. He has cut it to piecese and found no soul. Therefore there is none. Like… — Stephen King Copy Share Image
Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics - this is the reason… — Alain Aspect Copy Share Image
I'm a huge NASCAR fan, but I'm not a gearhead. I've never been into fixing cars. It's not because I don't like… — Larry the Cable Guy Copy Share Image
