I must confess that, at that time, I had absolutely no knowledge of the slowness of the relaxation processes in the ground state, processes which take place in collisions with the wall or with the molecules of a foreign gas. Alfred Kastler
Time Knowledge State Relaxation Must Slowness Absolutely Take Had Foreign Wall Confess Place Which Processes Molecules Ground Gas
We should note that this latter type of shift was successfully amplified to a considerable extent by Russian physicists using the intense light of a ruby laser whose wavelength is close to that of a transition of the potassium atom. Alfred Kastler
Light Ruby Type Wavelength Considerable Latter Atom Russian Physicists Shift Close Intense Note Transition Should Successfully Using Whose Laser Amplified Extent
Some people would call me a workaholic. I don't consider this time: I just love my work so much, so it's my real hobby, OK? And, yeah, getting some play during working hours for which you are paid is the best job I can recommend for anyone around! Andre Geim

The biggest adventure is to move into an area in which you are not an expert. Sometimes I joke that I am not interested in doing re-search, only search. Andre Geim
You Sometimes Joke Only Area Adventure Am Doing Move Biggest Expert Not Interested Which Interested Search
I would say there are three important things about graphene. It's two-dimensional, which is the best possible number for studying fundamental physics. The second thing is the quality of graphene, which stems from its extremely strong carbon-carbon bonds. And finally, the system is also metallic. Andre Geim
Best Quality Physics Strong Three Important Important Things Finally Extremely Say System Possible Would About Stems Studying Also Metallic Which Fundamental Thing Things Second Number Bonds Two-Dimensional
The 'Friday sessions' refer to something that you're not paid for and not supposed to do during your professional life. Curiosity-driven research. Something random, simple, maybe a bit weird - even ridiculous. Without it, there are no discoveries. Andre Geim
Life You Simple Random Research Bit Something Weird Supposed Without Refer Discoveries Friday Maybe Paid Your Professional Even Professional Life Ridiculous
My present work concerns the problems connected with the theory of elementary particles, the theory of gravitation and cosmology and I shall be glad if I can manage to make some contribution to these important branches of science. Andrei Sakharov
Work Science Problems Important Some Cosmology Shall Glad Particles Make Concerns Branches Contribution Manage Theory Connected Elementary Gravitation Present
In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons. Andrei Sakharov
Physics Research Group Weapons Develop Scientists Task Included Thesis Whose Nuclear Nuclear Physics Nuclear Weapons Defended
Coral is a very beautiful and unusual animal. Each coral head consists of thousand of individual polyps. These polyps are continually budding and branching into genetically identical neighbors. Antony Garrett Lisi
Beautiful Animal Consists Neighbors Thousand Individual Head Budding Genetically Identical Unusual Continually Very Each Coral
The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. Antony Garrett Lisi
Mathematics Universe Our Quantum Quantum Mechanics How Very Accurately Works Mechanics
Ninety-five per cent of my time is virtually wasted. Antony Garrett Lisi
Time Virtually Per My Time Cent Wasted
I'm afraid the workings of J.J. Abrams' mind falls outside the predictive capacity of any coherent theory. Antony Garrett Lisi
Mind Outside Falls Any Afraid Predictive Capacity Theory Workings Coherent
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber. Antony Garrett Lisi
Physics Guy Outside Academia Caliber Am Yeah Einstein Working Near Nowhere
I've gotten e-mails asking, 'Are you taking students?' Well, come visit and I'll be happy to talk to you. But I'm not a degree-granting institution. Antony Garrett Lisi
You Be Happy Happy Visit Students Taking Come Institution Talk Well Gotten Asking
My friends are all geeks. And many of them are scientists who love playing outside as much as I do. Antony Garrett Lisi
Love Geeks Outside Scientists Friends Them Much Who Many Playing
What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced. Antony Garrett Lisi
Physics Down Everything Tells Only Perfectly Particles Balanced Geometry Interactions Happen Us Elementary Things
One of the questions that always puzzled human history is, what are we, and everything around us, made of. Ashoke Sen
History Made Everything Puzzled Around Always Questions Human Us Human History
I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but one-dimensional objects, that is, strings. Ashoke Sen
Work Physics Universe Assumes String String Theory Strings One-Dimensional Objects Particles Branch Which Theory Elementary
Doing physics is a lot of fun if you like it. Ashoke Sen
You Physics Like Doing Lot Fun
