I lived in Chicago, but the music I was inspired by was from D. C.
An electron is no more (and no less) hypothetical than a star. Nowadays we count electrons one by one in a Geiger counter, as we count the stars one by one on a photographic plate.
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one. ' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and. '
But it is necessary to insist more strongly than usual that what I am putting before you is a model-the Bohr model atom-because later I shall take you to a profounder level of representation in which the electron instead of being confined to a particular locality is distributed in a sort of probability haze all over the atom.
A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. This reservoir can scarcely be other than the subatomic energy which, it is known exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn how to release it and use it for his service. The store is well nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped. There is sufficient in the Sun to maintain its output of heat for 15 billion years.
If I let my fingers wander idly over the keys of a typewriter it might happen that my screed made an intelligible sentence. If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters they might write all the books in the British Museum. The chance of their doing so is decidedly more favourable than the chance of the molecules returning to one half of the vessel.
Something unknown is doing we don't know what-that is what our theory amounts to.
There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.
I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year.
More people are killed every year by pigs than by sharks, which shows you how good we are at evaluating risk.
Instead of celebrating what makes each child unique, most parents push their children to "fit in" so that they don't "stick out. " This unwittingly stomps out individuality and encourages conformity, despite these parents' good intentions
