После этой главы мы сможем вычислить не только движение колеблющейся массы, но и возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном! — After this chapter we will be able to compute not only the motion of the oscillating mass, but also the perturbations on the planet Uranus produced by Jupiter and Saturn!

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.

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.

If you stand at an election and put a manifesto in front of people saying you're going to improve health care, you have to stick by that.

If you attempt certain things at the right time, they are easy to accomplish - in fact, they almost get done by themselves. If you undertake them before the time is right, not only will they fail, but they will often become impossible to accomplish even when the time would have been right.

Bourbon does for me what the piece of cake did for Proust.

I haven't been to a job interview since I was 16 years old. When I was approached by Givenchy it was more like a courtship.

People are always looking for something new and something to latch on to and to back something from an early stage.

I think too many comic book covers are way too busy, crammed with far too much information, both visual and verbal, that just becomes a dull noise.

A picture is a fact.

Nothing guarantees that reasonable people will agree about everything, of course, but the unreasonable are certain to be divided by their dogmas. It is time we recognized that this spirit of mutual inquiry, which is the foundation of all real science, is the very antithesis of religious faith.

Personal dignity is to be measured with the yardstick of ones conscience not with that of other peoples judgement.

I have always loved to sit in ferry and railroad stations and watch the people, to walk on crowded streets, just walk along among the people, and see their faces, to be among people on street cars and trains and boats.

I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword.

It's a very enticing, very seductive place, but once you get to know what L.A.'s really like, you don't want to live there.

I truly feel like I'm a living Wonder Woman.

I was always a character actress, even when I was an ingenue. But as you age, people know what to do with you, and you're not quite as dependent on maintaining leading-lady beauty.

Online, you can become much more than a reactive donor - you can become a proactive, strategic, collaborative philanthropist, improving your giving every day by tapping into the wealth of philanthropic resources available at the tap of a keyboard or the click of a mouse.

Human beings are not seamless smooth creations they have insoluble parts and the closer you look the more mysterious they become.

Happiness is mental harmony unhappiness is mental inharmony.

All things are possible - if you never give up.

The Russians love Brooke Shields because her eyebrows remind them of Leonid Brezhnev.

There was a sudden stillness like the gap between ticks on a clock, but the next tick never coming.

Tone is somewhat totalising in that, once I locate it, it tells me what kind of syntax to use, what word choices to make, how much white space to leave on the page, what sentence length, what the rhythmic patterning will be. If I can't find the tone, I sometimes try narrating through the point of view of someone else.

I listen to 'deep dish house'.

The universe is infinite, and the experiences and opportunities available to us are likewise.

In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
