Atoms Quote by Sam Kean

...where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united...

— D. H. Lawrence

“What really transcends our understanding is the mechanism that permits these oscillations of abstract field quantities to carry energy. We know this is true;…

— Henning Genz

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second…

— Johannes Stark

“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

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

“Take an electron at rest. We can liberate its mass energy and transform it into different manifestations of energy by making it collide with…

— Henning Genz

Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to…

— Pieter Zeeman

Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum…

— Pieter Zeeman

The electron is first of all your concept of the electron.

— Anonymous

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

There are many ways of knocking electrons out of atoms. The simplest is to rub two surfaces together.

— Fred Hoyle

“The field of the electron is real because it results from the laws of quantum mechanics and appropriate initial conditions. The laws determine the…
