Modern physics has changed nothing in the great classical disciplines of, for instance, mechanics, optics, and heat. Only the conception of hitherto unexplored regions, formed… — Werner Heisenberg
As is well known the principle of virtual velocities transforms all statics into a mathematical assignment, and by D'Alembert's principle for dynamics, the latter is… — Carl Friedrich Gauss
Schrodinger's wave-mechanics is not a physical theory but a dodge-and a very good dodge too. — Arthur Eddington
I also require much time to ponder over the matters themselves, and particularly the principles of mechanics (as the very words: force, time, space, motion… — Heinrich Hertz
Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum… — Freeman Dyson
Once you have your practice and you have your mechanics, you must be able to go out there and trust your mechanics. — Aaron Baddeley

The valuable properties of this cement depend in a great measure on the mode of preparing it for use. The mixing should therefore be conducted… — Canvass White
Cell genetics led us to investigate cell mechanics. Cell mechanics now compels us to infer the structures underlying it. In seeking the mechanism of heredity… — C. D. Darlington

God determines how fast you're going to run; I can help only with the mechanics. — Bill Bowerman

Democracy is nothing more than an experiment in government, more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils,… — James Russell Lowell
Now we see evolutionary trends in a variety of areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics through fluid mechanics, chemistry and biology to large scale… — Ilya Prigogine
