time doe energy
At what time does the dissipation of energy begin?
potential-energy heat tendencies
Although mechanical energy is indestructible, there is a universal tendency to its dissipation, which produces throughout the system a gradual augmentation and diffusion of heat, cessation of motion and exhaustion of the potential energy of the material Universe
knows
You know only insofar as you can measure.
mistake soul practicals
There cannot be a greater mistake than that of looking superciliously upon practical applications of science. The life and soul of science is its practical application...
science acceptance long
I can never satisfy myself until I can make a mechanical model of a thing. If I can make a mechanical model, I can understand it. As long as I cannot make a mechanical model all the way through I cannot understand.
believe influence force
We only know God in His works, but we are forced by science to admit and to believe with absolute confidence in a Directive Power-in an influence other than physical, or dynamical, or electrical forces,
believe atheism doe
I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism.
strong lying intelligent
Overwhelmingly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us... the atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words.
satisfaction feels magnitude
I have no satisfaction in formulas unless I feel their numerical magnitude.
numbers quality principles
In physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.
faces problem vow
Science is bound, by the everlasting vow of honour, to face fearlessly every problem which can be fairly presented to it.
essentials primaries
To live among friends is the primary essential of happiness.
science teach
There is nothing in science which teaches the origin of anything at all.
dream vortex atoms
The vortex theory [of the atom] is only a dream. Itself unproven, it can prove nothing, and any speculations founded upon it are mere dreams about dreams.
