“Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?”
Richard Feynman
“A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.”
George Wald
“I get a noble feeling knowing I come from the stars. The atoms in my body have traveled the universe and have been around from the beginning of time itself. I'm just "borrowing" them for a microscopic amount of time, in perspective with the universe. Once I'm done, the universe takes it back, and cycles it through something else, like a new tree or a president yet to be born.”
Marcus Gonzales
“a nuclear reaction is produced due to the fact that a universe with a certain amount of space (evil) has just been exposed to a universe with a vastly larger amount of space. all the matter within the universe of the atom is ripped apart, the matter that has a greater LFL (search "steve bullock" for this term) in this universe resists being ripped apart, the energy released by this interaction is what results in an explosion.”
Steve Bullock
“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”
Muriel Rukeyser
“Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion”
Democritus
“Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms”
Penelope Lively
