In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!
We are intelligent atoms. We are intelligent organic structures. We can change who we are. We can heal ourselves. With genetic engineering, we are considering changing the physiological structure of the body.
If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple.
Your radiance shines in every atom of creation yet our petty desires keep it hidden.
Non-violence. . . is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy.
There are more potential combinations of DNA [physical forms] than there are atoms in the universe.
Life is not made of atoms,it is merely built out of them. What life is actually 'made of' is cycles of cause and effect, loops of causal flow. These phenomenon are just as real as atoms - perhaps even more real. If anything, the entire universe is actually made from events, of which atoms are merely some of the consequences.
A cell is regarded as the true biological atom.
Nanoengineering is learning how to make devices as small as 10 to 100 atoms in width. Much of the work is going on in the electronics industry, where there is great demand to pack more components onto computer chips.
The separate atoms of a molecule are not connected all with all, or all with one, but, on the contrary, each one is connected only with one or with a few neighbouring atoms, just as in a chain link is connected with link.
The change from atoms to bits is irrevocable and unstoppable. Why now? Because the change is also exponential - small differences of yesterday can have suddenly shocking consequences tomorrow.
It makes no sense to ship atoms when you can ship bits.
She had always been fond of history, and here [in Rome] was history in the stones of the street and the atoms of the sunshine.
Every atom in your body is the same quark in different places at the same moment in time.
Leave the atom alone.
The man who discovers a new scientific truth has previously had to smash to atoms almost everything he had learnt, and arrives at the new truth with hands blood stained from the slaughter of a thousand platitudes.
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable.
