47 Atom Quotes for You to Enjoy

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. Jack London

Me Space Dust Every Sleepy Would Superb Atom Rather Magnificent Permanent Glow Meteor Than Ashes Planet

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the sermon on the mount. Omar N. Bradley

Atom Mystery Mount Grasped Sermon Rejected

The Creator, in taking infinite pains to shroud with mystery His presence in every atom of creation, could have had but one motive - a sensitive desire that men seek Him only through free will. Paramahansa Yogananda

Will Men Free Free Will Creation Every Seek Atom Only Could Mystery Through Had Taking Him His Motive Infinite Sensitive Pains Creator Shroud Presence Desire

A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself. Niels Bohr

Looking Way Atom Physicist Itself Just

It has been rightly said that nothing is unimportant, nothing powerless in the universe; a single atom can dissolve everything, and save everything! What terror! There lies the eternal distinction between good and evil. Gerard De Nerval

Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium. Richard Dawkins

Sports Science Space Fly Empty Space Illustration Solid Composed Intuition Atom Entirely Almost Like Crystals Empty Rocks Familiar Stadium Taught Middle Against Us Really Next Apparently Things

I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though? Florence Welch

You Conversation Song Word Father Nice Though Atom About Charm Having Hydrogen Split He Smallest Name Particles Wrote Call Talking Around Scientists Fit Them Strangeness Even Nice Thing Actually Thing Two

There's something about me that suggests I don't have an intelligent atom in me at all. So people say things to me that they wouldn't say to other people. Insulting, condescending things. They don't think I notice. But, of course, I'm taking it all in. Jennifer Coolidge

Me People Think Other Say People Say Atom About Something Taking Course Insulting Condescending Intelligent Notice Things

If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly. Richard P. Feynman

Future Time Will Predict State Say We Cannot Exactly Atom Only Emission Excited Any Going Probability Cannot Certain

There is no evil in the atom; only in men's souls. Adlai Stevenson II

Evil Men Atom Only Souls

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

In the lab, we could not see or physically describe the mathematical objects that we called quarks, which we suspected were the key to unlocking the dynamics of the strong force that binds together the clump of protons and neutrons at the center of the atom. David Gross

Together Key Strong Unlocking See Atom Objects Physically Could Force Were Mathematical Lab Suspected Center Dynamics Which Describe Binds

The atom was unleashed in 1946, right when all this stuff was occurring. And the bomb's incredible release of energy and light may have signalled somebody in a dimension which is sharing space with us very closely. Dwight Schultz

Light Space Somebody Energy Incredible Unleashed Release Dimension Atom Sharing Stuff Very Closely May Which Us Bomb Right

The savages don't have atom bombs. Friedrich Durrenmatt

Atom Bombs Savages

A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms. George Wald

Atoms Way Atom About Physicist Knowing

We may say that a basic substance is one which has a lone pair of electrons which may be used to complete the stable group of another atom, and that an acid is one which can employ a lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms. Gilbert Newton Lewis

All vinyl polymers may be regarded as built from monomeric units containing a tertiary carbon atom. Giulio Natta

Atom Containing Built May Regarded Carbon Vinyl Units

Each emission of an alpha or beta ray accompanies the transmutation of an atom; the energy communicated to these rays comes from inside the atom. Irene Joliot-Curie

Energy Inside Atom Beta Emission Ray Rays Alpha Accompanies Each

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached. Johannes Stark

Experience Strikes Circumstances Detached Some Atom Through Ray Learnt Surface Electrical Electron Even Second Third

An external electric field, meeting it and passing through it, affects the negative as much as the positive quanta of the atom, and pushes the former to one side, and the latter in the other direction. Johannes Stark

Positive Negative Field Other Side Meeting Latter Atom Direction Through Pushes Passing Affects Former Much Electric External
