Act Quote by Francois Englert

Any two particles in the universe attract each other through the gravitational interaction.

— Lee Smolin

“The interpretation of apparent long-distance action by means of continuously propagating effects was vigorously asserted by Isaac Newton. In his wake, the interpretation of…

Gravity is a mutual affection between cognate bodies towards union or conjunction (similar in kind to the magnetic virtue), so that the earth attracts…

— Johannes Kepler

I thought that there must be an easier way to explain how a gravitational wave interacts with matter: If one just looked at the…

— Rainer Weiss

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

“… for it is very probable, that the motion of gravity worketh weakly, both far from the earth, and also within the earth: the…

— Francis Bacon

“Gravity acts on all forms of mass and energy, but energy comes in a host of very different forms that behave in peculiar ways…

— John D. Barrow

When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect…

— Kip Thorne

Every particle of matter is attracted by or gravitates to every other particle of matter with a force inversely proportional to the squares of…

— Isaac Newton

The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all falls apart.…

— Lisa Randall

Gravitational systems are the ashes of prior electrical systems.

— Hannes Alfven

If you pursue a distancer, he or she will distance more. Consider it a fundamental law of physics.
