. . . evolution is not a religious tenet, to which one swears allegiance or belief as a matter of faith. . It is a factual reality of the empirical world. Just as one would not say 'I believe in gravity," one should not proclaim 'I believe in evolution.
Oh, I never use a seat belt. I don't believe in gravity.
However, one new theory says that dark matter may be ordinary matter in a parallel universe. If a galaxy is hovering above in another dimension, we would not be able to see it. It would be invisible, yet we would feel its gravity. Hence, it might explain dark matter.
Katherine Heiny's work does something magical: elevates the mundane so that it has the stakes of a mystery novel, gives women's interior lives the gravity they so richly deserve -- and makes you laugh along the way.
I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis, and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
High sprits they had: gravity they flouted.
We account for all the matter and energy that we're familiar with, measure up how much gravity it should have, it's one-sixth of the gravity that's actually operating on the universe. We call that dark matter. It really should be called dark gravity. We don't know what that is.
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
Tonality is a natural force, like gravity.
The romantic temper, so often and so grievously misinterpreted and not more by others than by its own, is an insecure, unsatisfied, and impatient temper which sees no fit abode here for its ideals and chooses therefore to behold them under insensible figures. As a result of this choice it comes to disregard certain limitations. Its figures are blown to wild adventures, lacking the gravity of solid bodies, and the mind that has conceived them ends by disowning them.
CO2 cannot cause global warming. I'll tell you why. It doesn't mix well with the atmosphere, for one. For two, its specific gravity is 1 12 times that of the rest of the atmosphere. It heats and cools much quicker. Its radiative processes are much different. So it cannot - it literally cannot cause global warming.
I want to move from what we let go of to whom we hold on to. I want to explore not just the gravity of what we forsake in this world, but also the greatness of the one we follow in this world.
I had not thought of this regular decrease of gravity, namely that it is as the inverse square of the distance; this is a new and highly remarkable property of gravity.
. . . all good things beyond sleep come precisely because we defy gravity while we live.
Australians have defied global economic gravity.
If you step out of a tenth story window you do not break the law of gravity, you confirm it.
Every time you tell someone that you are going to fly and they talk about gravity, that is doubt.
With some CGI, I think the brain slightly perceives that things aren't real. There's no gravity, the light's not quite real, the shadows aren't quite real.
As you know, this little grain of sand has mass. A very small mass, but mass nonetheless. " And because this grain of sand has mass, it therefore exerts gravity. Again, too small to feel, but there. " Now," Katherine said, "if we take trilions of these sand grains and let them attract one another to form. . . say, the moon, then their combined gravtiy is enough to move entire ocreans and drag the tides back and forth across our planet.
