Laws Of Motion Quotes

• Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac's talents didn't extend to investing: He lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, 'I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.' If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.

• Law, in its most general and comprehensive sense, signifies a rule of action; and is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of action, whether animate, or inanimate, rational or irrational. Thus we say, the laws of motion, of gravitation, of optics, or mechanics, as well as the laws of nature and of nations. And it is that rule of action, which is prescribed by some superior, and which the inferior is bound to obey.

• Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.

• Para relajarme, me gusta patinar. Estando sobre el hielo, girando y saltando, me siento muy cerca de la naturaleza. En particular, me siento muy cerca de las leyes del movimiento de Newton. Sobre el hielo, puedes experimentar las leyes del movimiento de Newton en su forma más pura y elegante.

• La gran generalización de Newton, que él llamó la "tercera ley del movimiento", fue que "la acción y la reacción son siempre iguales entre sí"; y esa ley ha sido una de las más preñadas de todas las verdades sobre el misterio de la fuerza; una de las ventanas más brillantes a través de las cuales los ojos modernos han mirado el mundo de la Naturaleza.

• Fuimos a la Luna sólo con las leyes del movimiento y la gravedad de Newton. Lo llamamos dinámica newtoniana. Entonces descubrimos: "Bueno, esto funciona porque hay ciertos regímenes en los que nunca lo hemos probado". Si lo hubiéramos hecho, habríamos demostrado que no funcionaba: Por ejemplo, a velocidades muy altas, gravedad muy alta, las leyes de Newton fallan. Simplemente fallan. Necesitas las leyes de movimiento y gravedad de Einstein. Esas serían su teoría especial de la relatividad y la teoría general de la relatividad. Ahora las invocas y funciona.

• Dirígete al aeropuerto más cercano y apúntate a clases de vuelo. Experimentarás la alegría de la libertad en el aire, mientras estudias la mecánica de cómo esto es posible mediante la comprensión de la construcción, las leyes del movimiento, el aire que puede proporcionar elevación cuando se mueve por propulsión a través del aire, y permanecer por encima de la gravedad que tira del avión de vuelta a la tierra.

• Two hundred miles from the surface of the earth there is no gravity. The laws of motion are suspended. You could turn somersaults slowly slowly, weight into weightlessness, nowhere to fall. As you lay on your back paddling in space you might notice your feet had fled your head. You are stretching slowly slowly, getting longer, your joints are slipping away from their usual places. There is no connection between your shoulder and your arm. You will break up bone by bone, fractured from who you are, drifting away now, the centre cannot hold.

• It seems safe to look forward to the time when the conception of attractive and repulsive forces, having served its purpose as a useful piece of scientific scaffolding, will be replaced by the deduction of the phenomena known as attraction and repulsion, from the general laws of motion.

• 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.

• For example: (1) As if governed by Newton's First Law of Motion, an institution will resist any change in its current direction; (2) Just as work expands to fill available time, corporate projects or acquisitions will materialize to soak up available funds; (3) Any business craving of the leader, however foolish, will be quickly supported by detailed rate-of-return and strategic studies prepared by his troops; and (4) The behavior of peer companies, whether they are expanding, acquiring, setting executive compensation or whatever, will be mindlessly imitated.
