Theories Of Relativity Quotes - Page 2

• Theoretical physicists accept the need for mathematical beauty as an act of faith... For example, the main reason why the theory of relativity is so universally accepted is its mathematical beauty.

• The supposed astronomical proofs of the theory [of relativity], as cited and claimed by Einstein, do not exist. He is a confusionist. The Einstein theory is a fallacy. The theory that ether does not exist, and that gravity is not a force but a property of space can only be described as a crazy vagary, a disgrace to our age.

• The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

• Early-twentieth-century abstraction is art's version of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It's the idea that changed everything everywhere: quickly, decisively, for good.

• La teoría de la relatividad de Einstein es fantástica para explicar cosas grandes. La mecánica cuántica es fantástica para el otro extremo del espectro, para las cosas pequeñas.

• Mi opinión sobre los experimentos de Miller es la siguiente. ... Si se confirmara el resultado positivo, entonces la teoría especial de la relatividad y con ella la teoría general de la relatividad, en su forma actual, serían inválidas. Experimentum summus judex. Sólo quedaría la equivalencia de la inercia y la gravitación, sin embargo, tendrían que conducir a una teoría significativamente diferente.

• Einstein no habló hasta los cuatro años, lo que llevó a la mayoría de sus profesores a creer que estaba loco. Hasta que sacó la teoría de la relatividad. ¡BAYUM! Os lo he enseñado.

• De la teoría especial de la relatividad se deducía que la masa y la energía no son más que diferentes manifestaciones de la misma cosa, una concepción un tanto desconocida para la mente media. Además, la ecuación E = mc², en la que la energía es igual a la masa multiplicada por el cuadrado de la velocidad de la luz, demostraba que cantidades muy pequeñas de masa pueden convertirse en una cantidad muy grande de energía y viceversa.

• Nadie debe pensar que la gran creación de Newton pueda ser derrocada en ningún sentido real por esta [Teoría de la Relatividad] o por cualquier otra teoría. Sus ideas claras y amplias conservarán para siempre su importancia como fundamento sobre el que se han construido nuestras modernas concepciones de la física.

• 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.

• Well, it has done terrifying things. Religious ideas are inflammatory in a way that I find difficult to understand. There are very few wars over the theory of relativity. Very few heated arguments, for that matter. Whereas, in Northern Ireland, they are killing one another over religion.

• 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.

• Should a priest reject relativity because it contains no authoritative exposition on the doctrine of the Trinity? Once you realize that the Bible does not purport to be a textbook of science, the old controversy between religion and science vanishes . . . The doctrine of the Trinity is much more abstruse than anything in relativity or quantum mechanics; but, being necessary for salvation, the doctrine is stated in the Bible. If the theory of relativity had also been necessary for salvation, it would have been revealed to Saint Paul or to Moses.

• When I was doing Professor Albert Einstein's bust he had many a jibe at the Nazi professors, one hundred of whom had condemned his theory of relativity in a book. 'Were I wrong,' he said, 'one professor would have been enough.

• In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve.

• The last I knew you were going to a party. just a few friends at the McEvoys' you told me. The science club, you told me. What happened? You got into a fight about the theory of relativity? Did creationists crash the party and start a rumble?

• For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

• The 4D style, or cosmic comics and relativistic humor, is based on Einstein's theory of relativity which I came up with 20 years ago. 4D works use the idea of the fourth dimension, time, playing on such surrealistic and amazing subjects as motion relativity, space curvature and time dilation.
