Atomic Quotes

I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two thirds of the people of the Earth will be killed Picture Quote #1

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one Picture Quote #1

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves Picture Quote #1

Our dreams of a pure virtue are dissolved in a situation in which it is possible to exercise the virtue of responsibility toward a community of nations only by courting the prospective guilt of the atomic bomb Picture Quote #1

Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb Picture Quote #1

We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry Picture Quote #1

All that you can't leave behind and how to dismantle an atomic bomb are both really mad long titles. As I've just said them, I've just realised how ridiculous the titles are Picture Quote #1

As someone remarked, when told the new atomic bombs would explode without a bang, they can’t leave anything alone Picture Quote #1

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance Picture Quote #1

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology Picture Quote #1

We can in fact first place the beam of rays of moving positive atomic ions in a plane perpendicular to the axis in which we see the spectral lines emitted by them Picture Quote #1

The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body Picture Quote #1

Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope Picture Quote #1

A dark and terrible side of this sense of community of interests is the fear of a horrible common destiny which in these days of atomic weapons darkens men’s minds all around the globe Picture Quote #1

Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei Picture Quote #1

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don’t involve the use of a laser Picture Quote #1

A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement Picture Quote #1

From a consideration of the immense volume of newly discovered facts in the field of physics, especially atomic physics, in recent years it might well appear to the layman that the main problems were already solved and that only more detailed work was necessary Picture Quote #1

The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom Picture Quote #1

Now that women are jockeys, baseball umpires, atomic scientists, and business executives, maybe someday they can master parallel parking Picture Quote #1

There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books Picture Quote #1

We walk the brink of racial suicide because we were smart enough to make atomic bombs and stupid enough to use them Picture Quote #1

In his scientific genius, man has wrought material miracles and has transformed his world. He has harnassed nature and has developed great civilizations. But he has never learned very well how to live with himself. The values he has created have been predominantly materialistic; his spiritual values have lagged far behind. He has demonstrated little spiritual genius and has made little progress toward the realization of human brotherhood. In the contemporary atomic age, this could prove man’s fatal weakness Picture Quote #1

The key to the utilization of atomic energy for world peace will be found in the will of all people to restrict its use for the betterment of mankind Picture Quote #1

$With crystals we are in a situation similar to an attempt to investigate an optical grating merely from the spectra it produces... But a knowledge of the positions and intensities of the spectra does not suffice for the determination of the structure. The phases with which the diffracted waves vibrate relative to one another enter in an essential way. To determine a crystal structure on the atomic scale, one must know the phase differences between the different interference spots on the photographic plate, and this task may certainly prove to be rather difficult Picture Quote #1$

Typical of the fundamental scientific problems whose solution should lead to important industrial consequences are, for example, the release of atomic energy, which experiment has shown to exist in quantities millions of times greater than is liberated by combustion Picture Quote #1

Mankind has always drawn from outside sources of energy. This island was the first to harness coal and steam. But our present sources stand in the ratio of a million to one, compared with any previous sources. The release of atomic energy will change the whole structure of society Picture Quote #1

The bulldozer and not the atomic bomb may turn out to be the most destructive invention of the 20th century Picture Quote #1

Now we see evolutionary trends in a variety of areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics through fluid mechanics, chemistry and biology to large scale systems of relevance in environmental and economic sciences Picture Quote #1

Gradually, physicists began to realise that nature, at the atomic level, does not appear as a mechanical universe composed of fundamental building blocks, but rather as a network of relations, and that, ultimately, there are no parts at all in this interconnected web. Whatever we call a part is merely a pattern that has some stability and therefore captures our attention Picture Quote #1
