Particle Quotes

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
Henry James

Experience, Complete, Finest

Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.
Jane Porter

Happiness, Heart, May

I do not keep up with the details of particle physics.
Murray Gell-Mann

Keep, Physics, Details

I think also of my colleagues in elementary particle theory in many lands, and feel that in some measure I am here as a representative of our small, informal, international fraternity.
Murray Gell-Mann

Small, Here, Theory

Today's particle physics describe light as a crumple in space, and we may have deformed space in such a way that they noticed something peculiar - and they had the ability to investigate it.
Dwight Schultz

Today, May, Light

Spreading out the particle into a string is a step in the direction of making everything we're familiar with fuzzy. You enter a completely new world where things aren't at all what you're used to.
Edward Witten

Everything, Used, Making

String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string.
Edward Witten

Nature, Thinking, Point

It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to say that it has to do with the fuzziness it introduces.
Edward Witten

Change, Big, Indeed

All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.
Alberto Giacometti

Life, Work, Today

It is good a philosopher should remind himself, now and then, that he is a particle pontificating on infinity.
Ariel Durant

Good, Himself, Infinity

Enthusiasm is the divine particle in our composition: with it we are great, generous, and true; without it, we are little, false, and mean.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Great, True, Mean

While at Chicago my interest in the new field of particle physics was stimulated by a course given by Gell- Mann, who was developing his ideas about Strangeness at the time.
James Cronin

Time, While, Ideas

Even if a university should turn out to be another version of a school, I had decided I could lose myself afterwards as an anonymous particle of the London I already loved.
Patrick White

School, Another, Lose

In this case, the particle formed has correspondingly less energy, whereas the product nucleus passes into the ground state with emission of the quantity of energy saved as gamma radiation.
Walther Bothe

Energy, Less, State

The material particle nature of primary cosmic radiation has been confirmed, although the processes turned out to be extraordinarily more complicated than we had assumed.
Walther Bothe

Nature, Material, Cosmic

The ability to work together has to be in the blood of particle physicists. They learn very early on that it is impossible to advance on one's own and that constant exchange is necessary.
Rolf-Dieter Heuer

Work, Together, Impossible

We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe.
Rolf-Dieter Heuer

Nature, Down, Light

There is no threshold level of fine particle pollution below which health risk reductions are not achieved by reduced exposure.
Gina McCarthy

Health, Risk, Fine

We have now seen that there is no particle of evidence for the Egyptian origin of Tarot cards.
Arthur E. Waite

Seen, Evidence, Cards

The particle and the planet are subject to the same laws and what is learned of one will be known of the other.
James Smithson

Learned, Same, Known
