Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sheldon Lee Glashow

One of the principal achievements of physics in the 20th century has been the revelation that the atom is not indivisible or elementary at all but has a complex structure.

My immediate reaction was that our job had just increased by two or three years, but that the samples were still there. A 200 miles-per-hour crash isn't going to dislodge solar wind atoms that are buried in the collectors. It's going to take longer and people are going to have to work harder...but the samples are still there.

Jason Calacanis

No one has looked at news from new atomic units of content, like a tweet on Twitter.

Richard Smalley

Nature - how, we don't know - has technology that works in every living cell and that depends on every atom being precisely in the right spot. Enzymes are precise down to the last atom. They're molecules. You put the last atom in, and it's done. Nature does things with molecular perfection.

Bill Richardson

On Iran, I thought he was quite good and positive ... I think our policy toward Iran makes sense, it includes the Europeans, the International Atomic Energy Agency, it includes diplomacy, the right to say we're going to defend Israel. I was pleased to see it wasn't mixed up in some of that 'axis of evil' stuff he sometimes says.

Danny Smith

The only way to describe it is to say it looks like an atomic bomb went off.

Chris Eigeman

Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the '30s. And into the late '30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early '40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore.

Now that we see difficulties in seeking a solution to this issue, we are willing to stay in close contact with all parties concerned so as to continue to seek the resolution of this issue within the framework of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).

Hugo Chavez

Nuclear energy is for peaceful purposes. We are not the ones developing atomic bombs, it's others who do that. We are not the ones who launch atomic bombs,

Now other countries have atomic weapons, and everyone realizes how horrible they are, ... No one wants to unleash that kind of horror on another country. People are getting some sense.

New regulations would be a disaster at this point. Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the level of individual atoms and molecules, offers the greatest benefits for society if left to grow through modest regulation, civilian research, and an emphasis on self-regulation and responsible professional culture.

Philip Gourevitch

The dead of Rwanda accumulated at nearly three times the rate of Jewish dead during the Holocaust. It was the most efficient mass killings since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

What we, the Russians and the EU-3 wants to see and what the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) wants to see is an Iranian cooperation. Does this statement by this one person constitute that? At this point, it's hard to say. We will have to see.

Dalai Lama

The universe is a single atom: the convergence of science and spirituality.

Aaron D. O'Connell

We talk about quantum weirdness and things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and molecules, stuff we don't normally interact with.

There is an opportunity for Iran to do what the EU-3 and we, and I think most of the board of governors (of the International Atomic Energy Agency) hope they will do, which is come back into compliance, stop the conversion activity, and then to resume discussions and negotiations with the EU-3 about a more permanent arrangement.

Terry Pratchett

Humans need fantasy to be human. Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act, like there was some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged:Yes. But people have got to believe that or what's the point?My point exactly.

Susan Taylor

He was very concerned about atomic science, ... He took one of the first classes ever offered in the subject. It was then that he became concerned about the long-term effects of science - after all, you can't undo an A-bomb.

Martin Rees

If we do find ET, we will at least have something in common with them. They may live on planet Zog and have seven tentacles, but they will be made of the same kinds of atoms as us. If they have eyes, they will gaze out on the same cosmos as we do. They will, like us, trace their origins back to a 'Big Bang' 13.8 billion years ago.

There are several good candidates on the atomic weapons front.

Alfred Werner

I started my scientific work by putting forward a hypothesis on the arrangement of atoms in nitrogen-containing molecules.

The play is the story of Sadako Sasaki a young Japanese women who was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was two kilometers away from where the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

The photons are smaller than the distance between atoms in the material.

Ahmed Zewail

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.

Javier Solana

The position of Russia is the following: Why don't we have an extraordinary meeting (at the UN), debate the situation then go back to Vienna, continue discussions there and wait for the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) board meetings in March.

David Souter

If speech always wins, even if it's an atomic secret that's going to be broadcast to our enemies, it's easy to make a decision. Speech always wins. But it doesn't... Liberty doesn't always trump equality or equality always trump liberty.

We passed town after town after town that looked like it had been literally flattened by an atomic bomb.

Douglas MacArthur

Up to fifty atomic bombs should be dropped on Chinese cities,

The order to resume uranium enrichment has been issued. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization has restarted the process.

The order to resume uranium enrichment has been issued and, in accordance with that, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization has restarted the process.

There has been no pause in our contacts with Iran in recent weeks. And they will continue in the coming days until the session of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

We thought it would be nice to have atoms interact in such a gentle way with the photons that they would just take an imprint of the photons, so that many atoms could 'see' the same photon and it would give rise to a lot of interesting effects. Myself and my colleagues had this project for a very long time and we were finally able to observe it.

Max Heindel

At the moment of death, when the seed atom in the heart is ruptured, which contains all the experience of the past life in a panoramic picture, the spirit leaves its physical body, taking with it the finer bodies.
