Sentences with phrase «writing about gravity»

We don't write about them because it would be like writing about gravity; they're an accepted fact of life that needs no explanation.

Not exact matches

Then light was liberated, and then gravity created the first stars and galaxies, then billions of years later, a local star went supernova and seeded the local nebula with heavier elements, elements necessary for life, elements that were not created during the Big Bang, then the sun was born, then the planets coalesced, and billions of years later some primate wrote a story about how the Earth was created at the same time as the rest of the universe, getting it wrong because that primate did not have the science nor technology to really understand what happened, so he gave it his best guess, most likely an iteration of an older story told prior to the advent of the Judeo Christian religion.

Also, the whole «gravity creates the Universe» thing is easy to write down on paper and tell everyone about, but so is «magic beans created the empire state building».

A couple of years later Webb wrote to me, saying, «I was, if you recall, going to write about you, beginning with this sentence: «A screaming came across the sky...» (stolen from Gravity's Rainbow) but never got the chance.»

Those directions might have served equally well for locating Barbour's house at the time it was built in 1659, a few decades before another English physicist, Isaac Newton, wrote his Principia, setting down the ideas about motion and gravity that dominated physics for almost three centuries.

«As for today, one could perhaps talk about a new «quantum gravity era» of tensor networks that is just starting,» he writes.

«In the 1970s, Kip Thorne [Caltech's Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus] and others wrote papers saying that these pulsars should be emitting gravity waves that are nearly perfectly periodic, so we're thinking hard about how to use these techniques on a gram - scale object to reduce quantum noise in detectors, thus increasing the sensitivity to pick up on those gravity waves,» Schwab says.

But it turns out we can actually indirectly measure gravity waves by looking out at the cosmic microwave background that's come to us from the big bang and imprinted in there, it turns out for reasons I think I won't talk about here, [is] a signal maybe of the big bang and I've just, in fact, written a bit about how you might be able to entangle that signal.

Jason at Everyday Paleo, wrote a great post about this (though the post was recently taken down), explaining that weight is little more than the effect of gravity on your mass, and should be treated as such.

But science is about the HOW and the WHY of the physical world and there's no getting around math in determining, for example, how the moon's gravity interacts with the Earth anymore than I can write this comment and make it intelligible without some basic understanding of the «math» of writing — grammar, syntax, etc — how words fit together to convey ideas.

Hyperallergic stopped by The Boiler during the Brooklyn Gravity Racers event and wrote about the exhibition and the races.

So it's all gases at greatest density will be doing the same thing around the planet at the same time (*) and as these change with differences in density in the play between gravity and pressure and kinetic and potential from greatest near the surface to more rarified, less dense and absent any kinetic to write home about the higher one goes, then, energy conservation intact, the hotter will rise and cool because losing kinetic energy means losing temperature, thus cooling they which began with the closest in density and kinetic energy as a sort of band of brothers near the surface will rise and cool at the same time whereupon they'll all come down together colder but wiser that great heights don't make for more comfort and giving up their heat will sink displacing the hotter now in their place when they first went travelling.

I could write all kinds of incorrect crap about gravity... it doesn't mean that people who know better can't make reliable predictions about orbits.
