We pay billions - hundreds of billions of dollars to supporting other countries that are in theory wealthier than we are.
She knows, now, absolutely, hearing the white noise that is London, that Damien's theory of jet lag is correct: that her mortal soul is leagues behind her, being reeled in on some ghostly umbilical down the vanished wake of the plane that brought her here, hundreds of thousands of feet above the Atlantic. Souls can't move that quickly, and are left behind, and must be awaited, upon arrival, like lost luggage.
Where do we stand today compared to Greece circa 400 B. C. ? Today's experiment-driven 'standard model' is not all that dissimilar to Democritus's speculative [sic] atomic theory.
Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.
There's a thing called the 'One Drop' theory in African-American culture, which is if you have one drop of black blood in you, you're black.
The theory of economic shock therapy relies in part on the roleof expectations on feeding an inflationary process. Reining in inflation requires not only changing monetary policy but also changing the behavior of consumers, employers and workers. The role of a sudden, jarring policy shift is that it quickly alters expectations, signaling to the public that the rules of the game have changed dramatically - prices will not keep rising, nor will wages.
There is a theory that sooner or later anything in America that is any fun at all will be ruined by people from California.
In theory it was, around now, Literature. Susan hated Literature. She'd much prefer to read a good book.
The most practical solution is a good theory.
My goal is to formulate a new color theory based on the full spectrum of visible light.
Too many actors are trying to be cool: they're trying to do it with their hair, trying to do it with the color, trying to do it with clothes, or some bullshit attitude you're either cool or you're not, that is my theory. If you have to try, it is too late.
Gray is the color of all theory
I've come up with the theory that the music is within. We don't bring it in; it's already there. We have to figure out how to get it out.
I am convinced that it is impossible to expound the methods of induction in a sound manner, without resting them upon the theory of probability. Perfect knowledge alone can give certainty, and in nature perfect knowledge would be infinite knowledge, which is clearly beyond our capacities. We have, therefore, to content ourselves with partial knowledge-knowledge mingled with ignorance, producing doubt.
I have this theory that the likeability question comes up so much more with female characters created by female authors than it does with male characters and male authors
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
I`ve heard this theory that this is basically Jeb`s [Bush] people trying to get their supporters to basically put the stake in Marco Rubio because if people are talking about accepting [Donald] Trump over [Ted] Cruz, what they`re really saying is Marco Rubio`s no longer viable.
Theories are not rejected by cirsumstantial evidence: it takes a theory to beat a theory.
For the most part, quantum theory has been of little practical value in my life.
Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts.
