Edward Teller's genius has produced monumental contributions to physics, ... This professorship constitutes an honor that will, above all else and in perpetuity, remind us of that genius and those contributions.

We take them to another level of knowledge after the students already have some driving experience on their own, teaching them additional driving techniques and an understanding of what that several-thousand-pound hunk of metal is doing under the simple laws of physics.
Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.
A lot of developers have an amazingly weak grasp of physics. We've become a much more connected world and there's a lot more to program for than Web services.
I was very advanced in physics, so I thought that something in astrophysics was where I would go I was thinking about NASA and stuff like that.
From a consideration of the immense volume of newly discovered facts in the field of physics, especially atomic physics, in recent years it might well appear to the layman that the main problems were already solved and that only more detailed work was necessary.
The great thing about my career in physics is that I never work, I just have a great time doing it.
Of this they drank half a pint every day, and sometimes more or less, as it operated, by way of gentle physic. Two others had each two oranges and one lemon given them every day. These they ate with greediness, at different times, upon an empty stomach.
It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.
The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam, whether it takes ultimate shape in a law of physics or a law of the land, a poem or a policy, a sonata or a mechanical computer.
I am acutely aware of the fact that the marriage between mathematics and physics, which was so enormously fruitful in past centuries, has recently ended in divorce.
I spent eighteen months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University, waiting unhappily for an opportunity to work in a laboratory and wondering if I should continue in physics.
If (the antiproton) had not been discovered, the foundations of physics really would have crumbled.
The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble.
But in due course it became evident that not only a physical situation qua physics, but the meaning of that situation to people, was sometimes a factor, through the behavior of people, in the start of a fire.
It wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short. The laws of prose writing are as immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics.
There are many examples of old, incorrect theories that stubbornly persisted, sustained only by the prestige of foolish but well-connected scientists.... Many of these theories have been killed off only when some decisive experiment exposed their incorrectness. .. Thus the yeoman work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest.
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
The continuum is that which is divisible into indivisible that are infinitely divisible Physics.
This effectively is like an A-plus on your final exams in physics.
We don't attempt to predict what will happen. We can describe what is possible within the laws of known physics. Physics is well understood.
I think the writing of literature should give pleasure. What else should it be about? It is not nuclear physics. It actually has to give pleasure or it is worth nothing.
My physics teacher, Thomas Miner was particularly gifted. To this day, I remember how he introduced the subject of physics. He told us we were going to learn how to deal with very simple questions such as how a body falls due to the acceleration of gravity.
Relativity must replace absolutism in the realm of morals as well as in the spheres of physics and biology.
Nuclear physics is interesting but it is unlikely to help society.
If the results from measurements such as those that could be made with SNAP lie outside the thawing or freezing scenarios, then we may have to look beyond quintessence, perhaps to even more exotic physics, such as a modification of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to explain dark energy.
I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio.
I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.
When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed.
And the actual achievements of biology are explanations in terms of mechanisms founded on physics and chemistry, which is not the same thing as explanations in terms of physics and chemistry.
Physics was a well-rounded program at Murray State. They wanted to make leaders and develop the total person.
It made it tough my shots were all off. Using physics, I adjusted for the wind and looped it in.
We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.
In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.
Physics is easy, poetry is hard.
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
Yes, I was really good in physics and in math.
Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
I now want to tell three stories about advances in twentieth-century physics. A curious fact emerges in these tales time and again physicists have been guided by their sense of beauty not only in developing new theories but even in judging the validity of physical theories once they are developed......... Simplicity is part of what I mean by beauty, but it is a simplicity of ideas, not simplicity of a mechanical sort that can be measured by counting equations or symbols.
I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
String theory came out of here. Black holes came out of here. This is a real wellspring for discoveries in theoretical physics.
Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
It's essentially a matter of physics, not a matter of money,
The methods of theoretical physics should be applicable to all those branches of thought in which the essential features are expressible with numbers.
Eight months later, having left Columbia, I was studying physics in a summer program and working in Colorado when I decided to enroll as a graduate student in biophysics.
Losing physics is not just losing physics.
Based on the laws of physics, the effect on temperature of man's contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels is minuscule and indiscernible from the natural variability caused in large part by changes in solar energy output.
The laws of physics say you're going to be at a disadvantage. But small cars don't automatically mean you're at a severe risk.
They're hitting harder now more than ever. The only person who would argue that is someone who has never had a physics class. They're faster and stronger, so the reality is the collisions have to be bigger.
