35 Gravitational Quotes for You to Enjoy

The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription. Norman Cousins

Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea. Richard P. Feynman

Beautiful Achievement Physics Space Single Relations Resulted Exciting Idea Greatest Said Geometry Einstein Which Theoretical Theory Connecting Gravitational Phenomena

The detection of gravitational waves is truly a triumph of modern large-scale experimental physics. Barry Barish

My bottom is so big it's got its own gravitational field. Carol Vorderman

Fitness Big Own Field Bottom Got Gravitational

Yet another proposal would have us rocket the waste into the sun, but, as you're probably aware, about one in ten of our space shots doesn't quite make it out of the earth's gravitational field. David R. Brower

The New York Times' was enigmatic: 'Some unimaginable gravitational force is pulling our entire galaxy in the opposite direction.' End of article. If you stop and think about that, we are recreating ourselves. Dwight Schultz

You Think Our Ourselves Some Entire About Direction New Force Opposite Opposite Direction End Times Article York Stop New York New York Times Galaxy Unimaginable Enigmatic Gravitational Pulling

Wormholes are a gravitational phenomena. Or imaginary gravitational phenomena, as the case may be. Jonathan Nolan

Case May Gravitational Imaginary Phenomena

Parents are the centre of a person's solar system, even as an adult. My dad had a stronger gravitational pull than most, so his absence was bound to leave a deep and lasting void. Justin Trudeau

Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal clear whether or not what we're dealing with are black holes as described by general relativity. Kip Thorne

We'll have four different gravitational wave windows open within the next 20 years, and each of them will see something different. We'll be probing the birth of the universe with this. The so-called 'inflationary era' of the universe. We'll be probing the birth of the fundamental forces and how they came into being. Kip Thorne

Will Universe Birth Wave See Windows Something Open Forces Within How Era Came Years Probing Being Different So-Called Them Next Each Fundamental Four Gravitational

Bullets are fast - even a 9-millimeter handgun launches lead at Mach 1. And the bigger the bullet gets, the more grains of gunpowder it carries, the faster it goes. Modern rifles can fling the small pieces of metal at half the velocity needed to escape the gravitational pull of the Moon. Kyle Hill

Moon Half Faster Carries Gunpowder More Small Lead Velocity Pieces Metal Bullet Bullets Handgun Escape Goes Gets Modern Grains Bigger Fling Even Fast Rifles Gravitational Needed Pull

To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. Lee De Forest

Man Moon Controlling Field Wild Project Earth Alive Dream Worthy Observations Perhaps Make Him Return Scientific Passengers Rocket Jules Where Place Land Then Gravitational

Music pulled me like a gravitational force. I entered college as a physics major but left as a Bachelor of Music, a degree with the same practical application as, say, one in the History of Chinese Poetry. Marshall Brickman

Planets are too dim to be detected with existing equipment, far away, except in these very special circumstances where they're seen by their gravitational effect. Murray Gell-Mann

Seen Too Dim Circumstances Except Equipment Effect Existing Very Where Far Far Away Planets Special Away Gravitational

If the universe sprung into existence and then expanded exponentially, you get gravitational waves traveling through space-time. These would fill the universe, a pattern of echoes of the inflation itself. Neil Turok

You Inflation Universe Waves Would Echoes Through Existence Sprung Itself Get Pattern Then Exponentially Fill Traveling Gravitational

For reasons probably related to the popular vision of Albert Einstein and, also, the threat posed by black holes in comic books and science fiction, our gravitational wave discoveries have had an amazing public impact. Rainer Weiss

Science Vision Amazing Black Related Wave Our Books Threat Black Holes Impact Had Also Science Fiction Comic Comic Books Discoveries Fiction Einstein Holes Public Reasons Popular Gravitational Albert Albert Einstein

The obvious thing to me was, let's take freely floating masses in space and measure the time it takes light to travel between them. The presence of a gravitational wave would change that time. Using the time difference, one could measure the amplitude of the wave. Rainer Weiss

Time Me Travel Change Light Space Wave Would Could Take Takes Between Freely Masses Obvious Difference Them Measure Using Floating Thing Presence Gravitational

I didn't understand the Weber bar and how gravitational waves interacted with it. I sat and thought about it over a weekend, trying to prepare for the lecture for the following Monday. I asked myself how would I do it. The simplest way... was a thought experiment. Rainer Weiss

Gravitational waves, because they are so imperturbable - they go through everything - they will tell you the most information you can get about the earliest instants that go on in the universe. Rainer Weiss

You Will Universe Waves Everything Tell About Through Most Because Go Get Information Gravitational Earliest
