Words matter. These are the best Acceleration Quotes from famous people such as Theo Jansen, Jim Leach, Jaan Tallinn, Terry Riley, Megan Smith, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
The Strandbeest is a self-replicating meme, a brain virus. It infects the student’s brain. In fact, the Strandbeest abuse students for their reproduction. For two years, this reproduction fell into a flow acceleration. Now, 3D printers produce walking mini Strandbeests.
The hallmark of our times is change and acceleration, but we have to provide the history.
Building advanced AI is like launching a rocket. The first challenge is to maximize acceleration, but once it starts picking up speed, you also need to focus on steering.
It is important that we are coming up on the millennium because what I am experiencing, just being one person out of billions, is the feeling of acceleration. I experience this through my contact with other people.
Across our great nation, we’ve begun to see an acceleration of the power of data to deliver value.
I don’t see it as coincidence that the great acceleration of the Anthropocene influences on Earth came during the same decades as our first exploration of the other planets.
Thematically, most of my work deals with transition, our culture’s constant acceleration, and emotional connection and disconnection through technology.
Excess body fat alters the levels of the hormones insulin, leptin, and estrogen, and these factors are believed to be responsible for the acceleration of pubertal timing by obesity.
Hominid and human evolution took place over millions and not billions of years, but with the emergence of language there was a further acceleration of time and the rate of change.
As seismologists gained more experience from earthquake records, it became obvious that the problem could not be reduced to a single peak acceleration. In fact, a full frequency of vibrations occurs.
Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
I think my acceleration is very good. That’s the key for me.
We’re used to thinking of force as a stable phenomenon, but it has a cinematic variable, which is acceleration.
Chinese experts noted that the U.S. economy has rebounded from the 2008 crash more strongly than some analysts here had expected, while China’s own growth is slowing after several decades of rocket-ship acceleration.
Emphasis was usually put on the horizontal acceleration factor, for the simple reason that ordinary structures have a built-in safety factor for the vertical component; that is, gravity.
Car love is the sound of a throaty V-8 rumbling and revving, the acceleration throwing you back in the seat – especially when you get on a beautiful, winding road and the light’s dappling through the trees.
Clearly the human story is one of acceleration. There has been a Moore curve in terms of the number of people alive on the planet, our technological ability, and our ability to understand ourselves. We have had this extraordinary, explosive growth in our ingenuity.
Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.
We’re all part of humanity. And maybe there’s something about the worst people, with the most destructive, warped minds, that is just an acceleration of something that is in quite a few of us.
Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.
