Electrons Quotes - Page 4

• Al fin y al cabo, ninguna inversión, ningún electrón limpio, ninguna eficiencia energética salvará al mundo natural si no le prestamos atención, si no prestamos atención a todo lo que la naturaleza nos da gratis: aire limpio, agua limpia, vistas impresionantes, montañas para esquiar, ríos para pescar, océanos para navegar, puestas de sol para los poetas y paisajes para los pintores. ¿De qué sirve tener luces eólicas para iluminar la noche si durante el día no se ve nada verde? Que no podamos vender acciones de la naturaleza no significa que no tenga valor.

  Thomas Friedman

• From that night on, the electron-up to that time largely the plaything of the scientist-had clearly entered the field as a potent agent in the supplying of man's commercial and industrial needs... The electronic amplifier tube now underlies the whole art of communications, and this in turn is at least in part what has made possible its application to a dozen other arts. It was a great day for both science and industry when they became wedded through the development of the electronic amplifier tube.

• De hecho, no ha habido nada más simplificador en la historia de la ciencia que toda la serie de descubrimientos que culminaron alrededor de 1914 y que finalmente llevaron a la aceptación prácticamente universal de la teoría de que el mundo material contiene sólo dos entidades fundamentales, a saber, electrones positivos y negativos, exactamente iguales en carga, pero que difieren ampliamente en masa, siendo el electrón positivo -ahora llamado protón- 1850 veces más pesado que el negativo, ahora llamado simplemente electrón.

• El electrón rígido es, en mi opinión, un monstruo en relación con las ecuaciones de Maxwell, cuya armonía más íntima es el principio de relatividad... el electrón rígido no es una hipótesis de trabajo, sino un obstáculo de trabajo. Abordar las ecuaciones de Maxwell con el concepto del electrón rígido me parece lo mismo que ir a un concierto con los oídos tapados con algodón. Hay que admirar el coraje y la fuerza de la escuela del electrón rígido que salta los más grandes obstáculos matemáticos con hipótesis fabulosas, con la esperanza de aterrizar a salvo en terreno físico-experimental.

• The chemist in America has in general been content with what I have called a loafer electron theory. He has imagined the electrons sitting around on dry goods boxes at every corner [viz. the cubic atom], ready to shake hands with, or hold on to similar loafer electrons in other atoms.

• Today, nothing is unusual about a scientific discovery's being followed soon after by a technical application: The discovery of electrons led to electronics; fission led to nuclear energy. But before the 1880's, science played almost no role in the advances of technology. For example, James Watt developed the first efficient steam engine long before science established the equivalence between mechanical heat and energy.

• There was a time when we wanted to be told what an electron is. The question was never answered. No familiar conceptions can be woven around the electron; it belongs to the waiting list.

• It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more reasonable to try to establish a theoretical quantum mechanics, analogous to classical mechanics, but in which only relations between observable quantities occur.

• La supersimetría es una teoría que estipula que para cada partícula conocida debe haber una partícula compañera. Por ejemplo, el electrón debería estar emparejado con un "selectrón" supersimétrico, los quarks deberían tener compañeros "squarks", etcétera.

• La Diosa se enamora de sí misma y genera su propia emanación, que adquiere vida propia. El amor de sí por sí es la fuerza creadora del universo. El deseo es la energía primordial, y esa energía es erótica: la atracción del amante por el amado, del planeta por la estrella, la lujuria del electrón por el protón. El amor es el pegamento que mantiene unido al mundo.

• Heisenberg has discussed the coupled double harmonic oscillator, and has shown that the ordinary rules of quantization lead to two non-combining sets of states in one of which the electrons are in phase and out of phase. The energy of the system is successively transferred from one to the other - resonance!

• The mathematician is in much more direct contact with reality. ... [Whereas] the physicist's reality, whatever it may be, has few or none of the attributes which common sense ascribes instinctively to reality. A chair may be a collection of whirling electrons.

• Since it is proposed to regard chemical reactions as electrical transactions in which reagents act by reason of a constitutional affinity either for electrons or for atomic nuclei, it is important to be able to recognize which type of reactivity any given reagent exhibits.

• Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with a given velocity, and can we make these approximations so close that they do not cause experimental difficulties?

• Cuando tenía 16 años, monté un acelerador de partículas beta de 2,3 millones de electrones voltios. Fui a Westinghouse, conseguí 400 libras de acero para traductores, 22 millas de alambre de cobre y monté un acelerador de 6 kilovatios y 2,3 millones de electrones en el garaje.

• Creo que en mi discurso del Nobel señalé que estaba encantado de que la Academia Sueca de Ciencias no citara nada sobre mi trabajo actual en este momento, porque el trabajo actual en el que mi grupo se está centrando es en realidad tanto la resolución temporal de electrones como posiblemente rayos X para poder obtener la arquitectura de estas moléculas, las estructuras moleculares en sí, de sistemas biológicos muy complejos. Ese es el objetivo final.

• For example, the idea that objects have properties out there in fixed ways is an incorrect idea about the world. Properties are created through relationships and processes. They are not inherent in electrons or photons or quanta any more than they are inherent in soil or trees or people. So my critique of reductionistic science is a critique that I have inherited from my scientific training. But it has been deepened by my experiences as an ecologist, in seeing the ecological destruction taking place today.

• The ancient intuition that all matter, all "reality," is energy, that all phenomena, including time and space, are mere crystallizations of mind, is an idea with which few physicists have quarreled since the theory of relativity first called into question the separate identities of energy and matter. Today most scientists would agree with the ancient Hindus that nothing exists or is destroyed, things merely change shape or form; that matter is insubstantial in origin, a temporary aggregate of he pervasive energy that animates the electron.
