I don’t think there is much value in trying to use the moon as a base to go to Mars. That’s going into one gravity belt and having to get back out of it again. And the moon doesn’t have a lot to offer as a resource base.
String theory’s biggest prediction is that gravity exists. That’s good. That’s a lot more than preceding theories could do.
The Planck satellite may detect the imprint of the gravitational waves predicted by inflation. This would be quantum gravity written across the sky.
Gravity Falls’ was a labor of love, but like all labor it could be painful at times.
I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein’s geometric theory of general relativity.
You can be only a modest distance away from the gravity brane, and gravity will be incredibly weak.
When I started working at NASA and understanding what the capabilities really were of the space station and the space program, one of the biggest draws for me was the ability to do experiments in space. We can do a number of experiments where gravity is actually a variable.
It’s weird because we live in this age of reboots. Everything is getting rebooted: ‘The X-Files,’ ‘Twin Peaks.’ We have shows like ‘Gravity Falls’ that were inspired by these shows, that are now ending and being followed up by reboots of the shows that inspired them.
I’ve been noticing gravity since I was very young.
Americans in general, I think, don’t understand the weight and gravity of foreign policy and how to engage the world at large.
What’s genius about ‘Gravity’ is that you are close upon the actors, but 3D works best when you have foreground, middle ground and background.
I’ve found contemporary Britain difficult to write about because it seems to me to have lacked gravity or grandeur. This is some cultural problem which I don’t really understand. It simply isn’t the same in the United States.
The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all falls apart. You have to fudge the figures to make it work.
There’s a world of insights to be gained into human health and disease by understanding how gravity and space radiation influence biology.
I think if I had to choose, I would rather have gravity instead of zero gravity. It’s fun for a while, but I’d rather live on Earth.
As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.
Of course Pluto is a planet: It’s massive enough to have its shape controlled by gravity rather than material strength, which is the hallmark of planethood.
What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.
I am deeply impressed with the gravity and wisdom with which most federal judges approach the responsibility of sentencing. It is a difficult, soul-searching task at best.
From a theoretical point of view, it is very hard to imagine how gravity could avoid being quantized.
From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity.
A year is a long time to live without the human contact of loved ones, fresh air, and gravity, to name a few.
The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist.
If gravity were somewhat stronger or weaker, stars wouldn’t exist, and neither would you. And the same can be said of other constants of physics. Several have to be ‘just right.’
While you’re in space, you grow in height! Without the constant force of gravity on your spine, it stretches out, and you’re actually taller when you land. It doesn’t last long though.
I like to think I’ve changed the centre of gravity on lots of national debates.
I’m so down to earth, I’m bringing gravity back.
A lot of people think jugglers defy gravity or do stuff. Well, I kind of, from my childhood and golf and all that, it’s a process of joining with forces.
I can see the gravity of this pandemic as my parents are doctors. This is not only a health crisis and we need to be on humanitarian grounds. It gives me immense satisfaction to help people who are in need and it is a very basic thing that I can do in these tough times.
A lot of the fun of ‘Gravity Falls’ comes from the secrecy surrounding the plot. We want fans to be able to guess and speculate, to be surprised by twists and be engaged when they get things right.
After floating for nine and a half months in space, gravity is not your friend.
The whole idea of gravity curling up space, that is the epitome of what is going on in a black hole. I would’ve loved to have seen Einstein’s face if he were presented with the data that we actually discovered such a thing, because he himself probably didn’t believe in much of it.
The CGI landscape is another world. It has its own physical laws; it can defy gravity. But surely the wonder of cinematic space is that it is wedded to reality?
Space music’d be really something… but they don’t have no gravity up there. You couldn’t have no downbeat!
If a projectile were deprived of the force of gravity, it would not be deflected toward the earth but would go off in a straight line into the heavens and do so with uniform motion, provided that the resistance of the air were removed.
It’s always fun to write the little bit of TV that the characters watch in ‘Gravity Falls,’ because it’s a perfect place to poke fun at the media.
Movies have a way of distilling moments in our culture, and ‘Gravity’ may be the defining film for the lost-in-space year of 2013: Nothing works.
Evolution is a fact. It is the best explanation of what is known from observations. It’s a theory as powerful as the theory of gravity.
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Some of the best scientists can’t explain gravity; Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, in the end, do they even know?
You’d think skiing wouldn’t be strenuous – all you have to do, after all, is start at the top and let gravity pull you to the dessert bar in the lodge. But at those elevations, you’ll find about as much oxygen as you’ll find kindness from your children. It’s like spending six hours holding your breath.
I have to say, ‘Gravity’ is better in 3-D, even though in 2-D the quality of the picture is better. But the 3-D is better.
Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.
One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, which explains the physics of the large, including gravity.
The Stoics appear during a huge time of constant wars and real political strife. And it became very popular, I think, because it’s a way of distancing yourself from strife and keeping your centre of gravity within you.
There is still some gravity where we are and even as far out as our moon. That is why our moon stays in orbit around the Earth. We don’t feel the gravity up here because it is so much smaller than the force we feel when we are on the Earth.
No one’s played on the moon yet. No one’s played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza, but we’d very much like to do that in the near future.
I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it’s important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that.
I don’t know; the gravity of playing football – you can’t lose the comparison of other stuff. If you do, and football is the only thing, it becomes too serious.
Music is almost like a therapy for me. It helps keep me centered and think straight. Before I discovered it, I was walking around, and it felt like there were 25 extra pounds of gravity on my shoulders. It’s like you’re mute or something.
You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
The reason space missions need artificial gravity is clear: humans simply did not evolve to live in zero gravity.
In a sense, the searches for both magnetic monopoles and gravity waves are very similar. But, theoretically, gravity waves are more solid.
Gravity Falls’ didn’t just appear overnight – every spooky cave and moss covered tree was created by a team of brilliant artists.
I love taking something that is understood to be funny or charming or sweet or naive and instilling it with some degree of gravity.
I’m looking for a Justice who appreciates the awesome responsibility that she will be given, if confirmed. A Justice who understands the gravity of the office and who respects the very different roles that the Constitution provides for each of the three branches of government.
