The original project began because we know the universe is expanding. Everybody had assumed that gravity would slow down the expansion of the universe and everything would come to a halt and collapse. The big surprise was it was actually speeding up.
Saul Perlmutter

The plane is simply abstracting the power stored in the wave by a distant gale, and using it to counteract gravity. And if the work be continued long enough, or a multitude of planes be continually drawing on the reservoir of power, the wave must inevitably be flattened.
Lawrence Hargrave

There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.
Edward Witten

There's a certain gravity in Stokes, due to the situations I have to handle.
Thayer David

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.
Confucius

True Americanism recognizes the enormous gravity of the social and labor problems which confront us.
Henry Cabot Lodge

We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Wernher von Braun

We wanted to be in great shape, we wanted to be able to cope with zero gravity, we wanted to be able to cope with accelerations and decelerations and so on. So all of us trained so that we were probably in the best physical condition we had ever been in up until that point.
Alan Shepard

We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more.
Fred Frith

Yes, I mean, I used to be into the big bulk thing, and that's why my legs look like those of a cyclist instead of a shooter's, but I think there is a point to where too much is not a good thing. I think I try to lower my center of gravity by doing a lot of legs.
Nancy Johnson

You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
Albert Einstein

You may hate gravity, but gravity doesn't care.
Clayton Christensen

You might expect gravity would slow it down, but it's just expanding faster and faster.
Saul Perlmutter

You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
Alan Cohen
