Quote by Lee Smolin Download Open image ““Being at rest becomes merely a special case of uniform motion-it is just motion at zero speed.”” — Lee Smolin ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3.3 out of 5 (4 ratings) Copy quoteShare
“A body at rest or in uniform motion remains in that state of rest or uniform motion unless it is disturbed by forces.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“How can it be that there is no distinction between motion and rest? The key is to realize that whether a body is moving… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Motion is always preferable to stagnation. When you move, things happen. You’re alive Stay still too long, And it´s hard to get moving again.” — Lisa Schroeder Copy Share Image
“Newton's First Law of Motion states: an object at rest tends to stay at rest while an object in motion tends to stay in… — Mike Buffington Copy Share Image
“It also meant that whenever a body is not acted on by any force, it will keep on moving in a straight line at… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“At worse, one is in motion; and at best, Reaching no absolute, in which to rest, One is always nearer by not keeping still.” — Thom Gunn Copy Share Image
Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't. — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
“Inertia. Guy’s law of enchantment: “People at rest will remain at rest, and people in motion will keep moving in the same direction unless… — Guy Kawasaki Copy Share Image
“Things in motion stay in motion, or, if you just keep going, you'll get there (the first rule of Physics)” — Jeffrey Gusfield Copy Share Image
Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state… — Isaac Newton Copy Share Image
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces, so there… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“One field Faraday studied was the electric field. This is not a number but a vector, which we may visualize as an arrow and… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“It is interesting to note that the quantum-mechanical revolution was made by a virtually orphaned generation of scientists. Many members of the generation above… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“In fact, the particle-antiparticle annihilation and the closing of the string is necessary, if the theory is to be consistent with relativity, meaning the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Unfortunately, no one has ever successfully postulated a super-symmetry holding between two known particles. Instead, in all the supersymmetric theories the numbers of particles… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Those who do good science do so because they choose problems that are suited to them. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Here's a simplified version of what the Stanford group did. They started with a much-studied kind of string theory-a flat four-dimensional spacetime with a… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The current crisis in particle physics springs from the fact that the theories have gone beyond the standard model in the last thirty years… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“By the time I began my study of physics in the early 1970s, the idea of unifying gravity with the other forces was as… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“These two discoveries, of relativity and of the quantum, each required us to break definitively with Newtonian physics. However, in spite of great progress… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“So the challenge for any quantum theory of gravity is to give us a deeper understanding of Bekenstein's entropy and Hawking's temperature.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
