The whole mass of any body is just the mass of ether surrounding the body which is carried along by the Faraday tubes associated with the atoms of the body. In fact, all mass is mass of the ether; all momentum, momentum of the ether; and all kinetic energy, kinetic energy of the ether, This view, it should be said, requires the density of the ether to be immensely greater than that of any known substance.
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
Primes are the atoms of the arithmetic - the hydrogen and oxygen of the world of numbers
All the atoms of our bodies will be blown into space in the disintegration of the solar system, to live on forever as mass or energy. That's what we should be teaching our children, not fairy tales about angels and seeing grandma in Heaven.
Probably our atomic weights merely represent a mean value around which the actual atomic weights of the atoms vary within certain narrow limits. . . when we say, the atomic weight of, for instance, calcium is 40, we really express the fact that, while the majority of calcium atoms have an actual atomic weight of 40, there are not but a few which are represented by 39 or 41, a less number by 38 or 42, and so on.
Specific units - such as memes are intended to represent have meaning when there is essential discontinuity between categories. Such convenient discontinuities are found in atoms, elementary particles, genes, and DNA.
You know, 'power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely?' It's the same with powerlessness. Absolute powerlessness corrupts absolutely. Einstein said everything had changed since the atom was split, except the way we think. We have to think anew.
The atoms of the earth are formed inside of stars. Nothing really dies, everything is transformed.
It makes no sense to ship atoms when you can ship bits.
Physicists are atoms' way of thinking about atoms.
He knows what I'm thinking. Always. We're connected. The atoms between us ferry messages back and forth.
Atoms for peace. Man is still the greatest miracle and the greatest problem on earth.
Mathematics transfigures the fortuitous concourse of atoms into the tracery of the finger of God.
The savages don't have atom bombs.
Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.
How silent, how spacious, what room for all, yet without place to insert an atom--in graceful succession, in equal fullness, in balanced beauty, the dance of the hours goes forward still. Like an odor of incense, like a strain of music, like a sleep, it is inexact and boundless. It will not be dissected, nor unraveled, nor shown.
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
The astronomer who catalogues the stars cannot add one atom to the universe; the poet can call an universe from the atom.
Non-violence. . . is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy. I did not move a muscle when I first heard that the atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima. On the contrary, I said to myself, Unless now the world adopts non-violence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind.
The universe is not made up of atoms; it’s made up of tiny stories.
