Does the engineer ever predict the acceleration of a given body from a knowledge of its mass and of the forces acting upon it? Of course. Does the chemist ever measure the mass of an atom by measuring its acceleration in a given field of force? Yes. Does the physicist ever determine the strength of a field by measuring the acceleration of a known mass in that field? Certainly. Why then, should any one of these roles be singled out as the role of Newton's second law of motion? The fact is that it has a variety of roles.
I was no great achiever at school, either academically or in the sporting field. . . I was always tending to be in trouble.
Is the purpose of theoretical physics to be no more than a cataloging of all the things that can happen when particles interact with each other and seperate? Or is it to be an understanding at a deeper level in which there are things that are not directly observable (as the underlying quantized fields are) but in terms of which we shall have a more fundamental understanding?
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
inside us, a flower taken whole, a field built inside.
The interest of my mother was more in the entertainment field. She loved to go to concerts and to the theatre.
As Hoffman later lamented, “The reality distortion field can serve as a spur, but then reality itself hits.
One of the things that is wrong with America is that everybody who has done anything at all in his own field is expected to be an authority on every subject under the sun
On the football field I keep my emotions tied up inside. But when I'm with family, I let them out.
I'd love to work across all three fields - theatre, film and TV.
[I'm inspired by ] courageous young people who take a stand and go into the field to serve; really old people who see that every minute of life is to be lived fully and compassionately; and so many between this world and that world.
Principles are like a seed in the ground; they must continually be visited with heavenly influences or else your life will be a barren field.
Cryptography has generated number theory, algebraic geometry over finite fields, algebra, combinatorics and computers.
I guess part of my ambivalence about pursuing music as well as acting is that acting is already one of the most difficult careers to create for yourself, I must be insane to embark on creating two careers in two of the most difficult fields. But I have really different ambitions with music; I just want to stay in love with music. I want it to continue to be a means of expression for me that feels like it's mine, and something that feels community-based.
Evolution is not controversial in the field of science. It's controversial in the public sphere because public education is highly politicized.
We ask sales managers what they would do if they had an extra hour in their week. They always say they would get out in the field and coach their reps. Yet, they don't.
Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field.
I suppose I was affected by raw sounds and timbres more than a lot of other composers. Had I been involved with orchestral composing, I think the aspect that would have most endeared me to that field would have been the orchestration.
I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations. I think that deconstruction is affirmative rather than questioning: this affirmation goes through some radical questioning, but it is not questioning in the field of analysis.
Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnet ic field of possibility or potential
