54 Atoms Quotes for You to Enjoy

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. Democritus

Space Atoms Empty Space Nothing Else Everything Everything Else Except Empty Opinion Exists

We are the representatives of the cosmos; we are an example of what hydrogen atoms can do, given 15 billion years of cosmic evolution. Carl Sagan

Atoms Example Evolution Cosmic Cosmos Given Hydrogen Years Representatives Billion

Each day has a story to - deserves to be told, because we are made of stories. I mean, scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories. Eduardo Galeano

Day Me Bird Made Atoms Say Also Because Scientists Human Human Beings Stories Story Little Mean Beings Each Each Day Deserves

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? Richard P. Feynman

Science Atoms Beauty Stars Too Say See More Poets Takes Mere Feel Them Less Desert Away Gas Night

Thor is magical, yes, but it is the magic of reality. His hammer was crafted 'in the heart of a dying star,' but so were you! Most of the atoms that make you up are in fact the innards of a ball of gas in space that got so heavy that it exploded. Stars died so that you could live, as physicist Lawrence Krauss would say. Kyle Hill

You Heart Reality Space Atoms Live Stars Thor Say Would Magic Magical Lawrence Fact Physicist Could Most Make Ball Got Were Hammer His Up Yes Crafted Died Heavy In Fact Dying Exploded Star Gas

Body concentrates order. It continuously self-repairs. Every five days you get a new stomach lining. You get a new liver every two months. Your skin replaces itself every six weeks. Every year, 98 percent of the atoms of your body are replaced. This non-stop chemical replacement, metabolism, is a sure sign of life. Lynn Margulis

Life You Atoms Year Skin Every Months Sign Percent Weeks New Days Sure Sure Sign Non-Stop Metabolism Chemical Continuously Lining Itself Replaced Replacement Five Get Stomach Six Order Body Your Your Body Liver Two

If the cosmos isn't finite, then far, far away, floating duplicates of your brain - with all its experiences, thoughts, and emotions - are occasionally (and temporarily) thrown together by the random combining of atoms. Such 'Boltzmann brains,' as they're called, are a disturbing consequence of an unlimited universe. Seth Shostak

Thoughts Together Emotions Random Atoms Universe Unlimited Disturbing Temporarily Cosmos Finite Thrown Combining Occasionally Brain Brains Experiences Far Far Away Then Your Floating Away Consequence

I used to be a computer engineer, and I can make really good code, and we can make systems that work really well, and we can make the application a great experience, but when you have to translate bits to atoms, you need folks who are used to working with city governments, with state governments, and so I like to say we're in a political campaign. Travis Kalanick

Work Political Campaign Good Great You Experience Political Engineer Atoms State State Governments Say Great Experience Bits Systems City Folks Computer Like Well Make Campaign Governments Translate Really Working Used Who Code Application Need

Let us think of Nature as a builder, making all that we see out of atoms of a limited number of kinds, just as the builder of a house constructs it out of so many different kinds of things: bricks, slates, planks, panes of glass, and so on. William Henry Bragg

The difference between a gas and a liquid is that in the former, the atoms and molecules move to and fro in an independent existence, whereas in the latter, they are always in touch with one another, though they are changing partners continually. William Henry Bragg

Atoms Changing Though Latter Independent Touch Between Partners Another Always Continually Existence Liquid Move Difference Whereas Former Molecules Gas

It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second. Ahmed Zewail

Atoms Speed Speeds Out Possible Systems Inside Per About Determined Move Vibrations Them Turns Molecular Biological Fastest Second

The more the relationships of the nitrogen-rich substances to the cell nucleus were recognized, the more the question of the arrangement of the nitrogen and carbon atoms in the molecule came to stand out. Albrecht Kossel

Atoms Relationships Nitrogen Recognized Out More Arrangement Came Were Question Cell Substances Stand Molecule Carbon

Science regards man as an aggregation of atoms temporarily united by a mysterious force called the life-principle. To the materialist, the only difference between a living and a dead body is that in the one case that force is active, in the other latent. Annie Besant

In Italy, on the breaking up of the Roman Empire, society might be said to be resolved into its original elements, - into hostile atoms, whose only movement was that of mutual repulsion. Edward Everett

As far as extra dimensions are concerned, very tiny extra dimensions wouldn't be perceived in everyday life, just as atoms aren't: we see many atoms together but we don't see atoms individually. Edward Witten

Life Together Everyday Life Atoms Extra Everyday Dimensions See Perceived Individually Concerned Very Tiny Just As Far As Far Many

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

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

We see chemistry, how the atoms are arranged in the molecules, how the disease changes the arrangement. Perhaps we will find which drug disentangles the aggregates that make a brain senile. Many of us are interested in such things. Jacques Dubochet

The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible? James C. Maxwell

Man Intelligence World Matter Space Mind Atoms Sense Divisible Equally Within Material Material World Exist Perplexed Questions Itself Infinite Infinitely Places Full Hard Hard Questions Many Extent

For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta. Johannes Stark

Light Atoms Waves Characteristic Only Come Accelerate Frequency Chemical Conditions Familiar Form Length Certain Electric Electromagnetic Specific Oscillation
