Astronomers sometimes observe that a star of medium magnitude increases suddenly in size; a star invisible to the naked eye may become very brilliant and visible without any telescope – the appearance of a Nova.
According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined.
I understood it was a poor area when I was young because you’re driving through it and you see these low-income homes that I hadn’t really seen before. I’d lived in upper-middle-class neighborhoods before we moved to Athens and The Plains. You understand, but you don’t really understand the magnitude until you get older.
I got overwhelmed by the magnitude of the celebrity culture in America. My background is as a news journalist, and newsrooms in the US are shrinking – investigation teams are being terminated or shrunk on newspapers all around the country. The one aspect that’s expanded is coverage of celebrity culture.
The issues that we’re having with water are worse and the magnitude is bigger than anything I imagined possible.
The amount of computation necessary for raytracing, we’ve known for a long time, is many orders of magnitude more intensive than rasterization.
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.
Wage concessions are difficult to quantify, since their magnitude depends on many operating variables.
When you are creating to the magnitude that I try to create, your brain is like a computer, and you need to refresh.
Jail threats did not dissuade Martin Luther King – and intergenerational justice is a moral issue of comparable magnitude to civil rights.
