Даже небольшие отклонения от законов Кеплера, вызванные возмущениями планет, можно было вычислить. — Even the slight deviations from Kepler’s laws, due to the perturbations of the planets, were computable.

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.

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.

Чтобы найти правильное правило, требовалось определенное воображение, и это воображение было предоставлено Галилеем.

Where the road bends abruptly, take short steps.

I feel that, particularly because of language, we are handicapped in getting a large world audience. But Hindi cinema has the same ingredients that appeal to the whole world.

So many times in today's society, we can put football No. 1. And I've done it in my life at certain times. You put football number one, this game is more important than anything else. Well, really, it's not. It's just a game.

It's been more than a decade since I put that self-published novel, 'Lip Service', up on a website. Since then, many hundreds of authors have gone from self-published to traditionally published.

My first job was in pantomime; I was a chorus girl in 'Dick Whittington' at 16. I got the part by ringing the director daily to see if anyone had dropped out, and it paid off eventually, when I was cast as a rat!

We have to stop this violence. We have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. It's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places.

Ronald Reagan is clearly to television what Franklin Roosevelt was to radio.

At the same time, Clinton was doing a lot things right, like the economy.

There is not enough funding for basic sciences in India. We have to invest in a big way, and I am pushing that idea.

The Thought Police: To censor and protect.

Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.

The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.

I think I'm dull. I would rather watch other people.

I'm pretty spoilt when it comes to having a glam team.

My body has been making women laugh for the last 20 years and I'm happy to continue to oblige.

All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.

My parents were worried about me, certainly when I became so deeply interested in music and people like the New York Dolls who, at the time, were very peculiar indeed.

I self-deprecate. When I first got here two years ago, I didn't realise that in America you can't go into the room and put yourself down.

Part of the reason for moving to New York was the sense that it just didn't matter how much work I did in England, I continued to be seen simply as a Redgrave. I did feel I could be who I am in New York and we all like to feel appreciated.

I was a disruptive child.

We become what we repeatedly do.

I started making music videos in my twenties and made my first feature, 'Guncrazy,' at 29. I then spent the greater part of my thirties directing features.

I have a severe Google Reader habit. I think people will use blog forms and Twitter to contrive fiction.

I just picked up golf, it was good, give me a chance to play golf.
