Чтобы найти правильное правило, требовалось определенное воображение, и это воображение было предоставлено Галилеем. — It required a certain imagination to find the right rule, and that imagination was supplied by Galileo.

Открытие законов динамики, или законов движения, стало драматическим моментом в истории науки.

До Ньютона движение таких вещей, как планеты, было загадкой, но после Ньютона наступило полное понимание.

Даже небольшие отклонения от законов Кеплера, вызванные возмущениями планет, можно было вычислить.

Движения маятников, осцилляторов с пружинами и грузами и так далее - все это можно было полностью проанализировать после того, как были сформулированы законы Ньютона.

Так и с этой главой: до этой главы мы не могли рассчитать, как будет двигаться масса на пружине; тем более мы не могли рассчитать возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном.

После этой главы мы сможем вычислить не только движение колеблющейся массы, но и возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном!

Галилей сделал большой шаг вперед в понимании движения, когда открыл принцип инерции: если объект оставлен в покое, не потревожен, он продолжает двигаться с постоянной скоростью по прямой линии, если он изначально был движущимся, или продолжает стоять на месте, если он просто стоял на месте.

Конечно, в природе так не бывает, ведь если провести блок по столу, он остановится, но это потому, что он не предоставлен сам себе - он трется о стол.

Whenever you're fighting with weapons, there's a level of reality because people don't understand that these are still metal or hard rubber with sharp points - that if the timing's wrong, you could definitely get hurt. There's nothing like working with an actor who doesn't know what they're doing, because you're always in fear of losing an eye.

'Kol Nidrei' is probably the most important prayer in the Jewish religion. It comes on the evening of Yom Kippur. There are so many different renditions of it.

Eating fruits for breakfast is a healthy way of breaking the overnight fast as this is a gentle way of waking up your digestive system.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains. I know. I've done it.

I like to be comfortable.

I always call my cousin because were so close. Were almost like sisters and were also close because our moms are sisters.

Good things come to those who sweat.

Blame is a change avoidance strategy.

What worries me are these so-called radio stations with program directors who don't play all the different flavors of hip-hop. They should play the old with the new, 24/7, 365 days a year. A lot of these program directors are just jiving around and not playing all the good music for the people.

Don't get me wrong. I don't take anything for granted. But it seems like the better I play, the more attention I get. And I can't get away from it. You play great, you get attention. But I hate attention. It is weird. I'm in a bind. The more you win, the more they come.

Our opponent and many in Congress criticized our decision to end the Iraq war.

Self-hatred is OK. I have self-hatred, too. It's OK. What's bad is if you don't know how to get out of it, don't know how to manage it. Self-hatred is, in fact, a good thing if you can clearly see the mechanism of it, because it helps you to understand others.

Dont doubt me because thats when I get stronger.

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn't just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one.

It's not hard for me to be funny in front of people, but most of that is just horrified nerves taking the form of what makes people laugh, and afterwards I'd always feel dreadfully depressed, kind of self-induced bi-polar disorder.

Faith which does not doubt is dead faith.

Teamwork requires that everyone's efforts flow in a single direction. Feelings of significance happen when a team's energy takes on a life of its own.

The wealthy have never liked to pay for the labor that enriches them. Ever since slavery was eliminated, they have been trying to keep it as close to slavery as they can without violating the slave laws.

I'm into horror pictures because I love the fear of being alone in the dark, and I'd recommend that to any composer who wants to work in this genre.

I dont go by the ratings. I buy wine that tastes good. Statistically anybodys ability to predict what will be a good wine a decade from now is limited.

One of the greatest journeys in life is overcoming insecurity and learning to truly not give a s**t.

If you're a writer, you're always working.

I just love asking questions. I love people. It's in my DNA. I'm cursed - and blessed.

The President's speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership, we will be in Iraq not for months, but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this.
