Electrons Quote by Joseph John Thomson Download Open image “The electron: may it never be of any use to anybody!” — Joseph John Thomson ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3.2 out of 5 (8 ratings) Copy quoteShare Electrons May Use
An electron is no more (and no less) hypothetical than a star. Nowadays we count electrons one by one in a Geiger counter, as… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I wanna be your girlfriend more than an electron wants to attach to a proton. — Emma Stone Copy Share Image
“The electron that scientists see in the laboratory-the electron that physicists, chemists, and engineers have known and loved for decades-is an impostor. It is… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
The electron can no longer be conceived as a single, small granule of electricity; it must be associated with a wave, and this wave… — Louis de Broglie Copy Share Image
Perhaps God and the Devil danced hand in hand around every single electron. — Patricia Highsmith Copy Share Image
“People want electrons to orbit atoms like tiny planets, hard and regular. They make sense that way. People like that…they don't want their electrons… — Adam Felber Copy Share Image
“What we learn is that the scientist is as important a part of this experiment as the electron, and that the scientist and the… — Danny Scheinmann Copy Share Image
If, in the very intense electric field in the neighbourhood of the cathode, the molecules of the gas are dissociated and are split up, not into the ordinary chemical atoms, but into these primordial atoms, which we shall for brevity call corpuscles; and if these corpuscles are charged with electricity and projected from the cathode by the electric field, they… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share
“ His work was so great that it cannot be compassed in a few words. His death is one of the greatest losses ever… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
The discovery of electrical waves... has had a profound influence on civilization; it has been instrumental in providing the methods which may bring all… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
The whole mass of any body is just the mass of ether surrounding the body which is carried along by the Faraday tubes associated with the atoms of the body. In fact, all mass is mass of the ether; all momentum, momentum of the ether; and all kinetic energy, kinetic energy of the ether, This view, it should be said,… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share
As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
As the cathode rays carry a charge of negative electricity, are deflected by an electrostatic force as if they were negatively electrified, and are… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
I venture to give an alternative method of regarding the processes occurring in the electric field, which I have often found useful and which… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
This example illustrates the differences in the effects which may be produced by research in pure or applied science. A research on the lines… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
Yes, Jenna, I love you with all my heart. And with my atoms and molecules and electrons and whatever further breakdown you require. — Sharon Shinn Copy Share Image
Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use it to illuminate our cities, guide our airlines through the night skies and take the most accurate measurements. What strange rationale makes some physicists accept the inconceivable electrons as real while refusing to accept the reality… — Wernher von Braun Copy Share
My wife and I have long discussions about [George] Carlin, and we refuse to accept that he died an atheist. It's just, confounding. When I talked to Kelly [George Carlin's daughter] about it, she said that George Carlin once took her at about 12 years old and said, "I've figured it out." And he says it in one of his… — Jay Mohr Copy Share
Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. That is that entire universe is made of matter, obviously. And matter is made of particles. It's made of electrons and neutrons and protons. So the entire universe is made out of particles. Now what are the particles made out of They're not made out of anything. The only… — Martin Gardner Copy Share
It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and… — Kristian Birkeland 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 undular. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Not sense data or atoms or electrons or packets of energy, but purposes, interests, and meanings, constitute the underlying facts of human experience. — Lewis Mumford 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 never-ending supply… — Tom Freston Copy Share Image
Digital wisdom is made of recycled electrons that are meaningful until you pull the plug. — Don Rittner Copy Share Image
The rigid electron is in my view a monster in relation to Maxwell's equations, whose innermost harmony is the principle of relativity... the rigid electron is no working hypothesis, but a working hindrance. Approaching Maxwell's equations with the concept of the rigid electron seems to me the same thing as going to a concert with your ears stopped up with… — Hermann Minkowski Copy Share
