For X-rays, the phenomenon of diffraction by crystals was a natural consequence of the idea that X-rays are waves analogous to light and differ from it only by having a smaller wavelength. Louis de Broglie

The experience of watching great cinema - great art - is life enriching and spiritually uplifting no matter whether it's about as difficult as it gets, like 'Breaking the Waves,' or as light as it gets, like 'Jerry Maguire,' 'Election' or 'Toy Story.' Luke Davies

Surfing is definitely something I used to do a lot more before I was working, but I know the waves will always be there, and it's something that, when I'm not traveling as much, I'll definitely get back into. Marisa Miller

If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it. Martin Jacques

Truth Best Racism Responsibility Society Our Waves Ruled Those Best Part Allegedly Civilisation Dripping Part Least Surprising Controlled Centuries Planet Who Believed Bring Two British

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws. Martin Rees

Science Physics Complicated Made Atoms Own Birds Waves Everything Those Solved Seek Laws Tropical Could Concepts Quantum Equations Quantum Physics Scientists However Forests Offer Autonomous Breaking Even Each Enlightenment

For me, it's about eating a bunch of fruit and exercising, which opens up the creativity, makes it easier to give ideas a chance and bubble to the surface. I'm no angel, but it helps me, as does hiking, heading to the ocean to catch some waves - for me, sweating it out is definitely good for the creative process. Matt Skiba

It's the board I had a problem with. I could totally handle being in the water and stuff. I came here to do my own stunts. Water! Ocean! Action! Big waves! That water, that water has tamed me. You can feel that the world is connected to it. Michelle Rodriguez

Me You Problem World Water Big Ocean Own Action Waves Totally My Own Could Had Feel Stuff Stunts Tamed Came Handle Being Board Connected Here

The world is not made up of particles and waves and beams of light with a definite existence. Instead, the world works in a much more exploratory way. It is aware of all the possibilities at once and trying them out all the time. That is a hard thing to picture. Neil Turok

Time World Light Made Picture Waves Once Way Definite Possibilities Out More Instead Particles Existence Up Trying Them Much Hard Hard Thing Works Aware Thing

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

I'm a little sad that they actually came up with the metaphor of waves for feminism. By definition, a wave goes in, and it comes out. I would really like it to be a tsunami that creates a flood that forever changes the landscape. Nell Scovell

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible. Olivia Colman

You Cinema Tough Few Mouth Films Nil Waves Those Out Possible Thousands Stay See Minute Never Never Forget Come Like Because Leave Forget Behind Anything Breaking Mean

The waves travel with the velocity of light and slightly squeeze and stretch space transverse to the direction of their motion. The first waves we measured came from the collision of two black holes each about 30 times the mass of our sun. Rainer Weiss

You know the Einstein waves can be thought of as a distortion of space and time. But the way we see it, we see it as a distortion of space. And space is enormously stiff. You can't squish it; you can't change its dimensions so easily. Rainer Weiss

Time You Change Space Thought Waves Way Dimensions Easily Distortion See Know Stiff Space And Time Einstein

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

Space is much stiffer than you imagine; it's stiffer than a gigantic piece of iron. That's why it's taken so damned long to detect gravitational waves: to deform space takes an enormous amount of energy, and there are only so many things that have enough. Rainer Weiss

Nothing prepares you for shooting in the sea. Some days the sea is choppy, some days the waves are long. When there is no wind, it's fantastic to shoot, but your brain is burning because of the heat. You are shooting hand-held and taking a crane on a boat, which is risky since you can get toppled over. Rajiv Menon

You Wind Long Nothing Waves Some Risky Taking Over Since Days Because Brain Get Shoot Shooting Heat Burning Which Boat Fantastic Your Sea Prepares
