Quotes by Atoms I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. Jack London writing-words atoms sleep It is the nature of the mind that makes individuals kin, and the differences in the shape, form or manner of the material atoms out of whose intricate relationships that mind is built are altogether trivial. Isaac Asimov atoms differences mind Life exists in the universe only because the carbon atom possesses certain exceptional properties. James Jeans atoms life science Within your physical atoms the origins of all consciousness still sings. Jane Roberts law-of-attraction atoms spiritual In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato! Jean-Luc Godard atoms way thinking The fact is that every atom that we're made of is part of that first explosion of a nuclear star billions of years ago. We're connected to the entire universe. Jeanette Winterson atoms stars years Football tactics are rapidly becoming as complicated as the chemical formula for splitting the atom. Jimmy Greaves tactics atoms football 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 atoms positive negative 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 atoms wave light If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom. Johannes Stark atoms fields done In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta. Johannes Stark coherence atoms views The discovery of various phenomena has led to a recognition of the fact that the chemical atom is an individual which again is itself made up of several units into a selfcontained whole. Johannes Stark atoms discovery facts It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system. Johannes Stark atoms chemicals structure The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms. Johannes Stark compounds atoms exception The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer. Johannes Stark atoms fundamentals mean By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms. Johannes Stark atoms ions giving 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 atoms rays experience Dead isn’t angels or ghosts. It’s a physical state of breakdown, a change in all those carbon atoms that create the temporary house of a body so that they can return to their most elemental stage. Jodi Picoult atoms angel house Matter, though divisible in an extreme degree, is nevertheless not infinitely divisible. That is, there must be some point beyond which we cannot go in the division of matter. ... I have chosen the word “atom” to signify these ultimate particles. John Dalton atoms degrees science As soon as we touch the complex processes that go on in a living thing, be it plant or animal, we are at once forced to use the methods of this science [chemistry]. No longer will the microscope, the kymograph, the scalpel avail for the complete solution of the problem. For the further analysis of these phenomena which are in flux and flow, the investigator must associate himself with those who have labored in fields where molecules and atoms, rather than multicellular tissues or even unicellular organisms, are the units of study.
