Text Quotes
The tragic nuclear accident at Fukushima underscored the urgent need to enhance nuclear safety and the international emergency response framework. I commend the International Atomic Energy Agency for its work. (Atomic Quotes)
The International Atomic Energy Agency is controlling this, the sanctions against Iran are lifted - but still the US are working on their missile defense system. What is the point of this? (Atomic Quotes)
Even present-day fuels possess more than enough energy, if only we knew how to release and use it. Just as molecular energy is so freely used to-day, so atomic energy may bring interplantary travel within easy reach to-morrow. (Atomic Quotes)
In the increasingly mechanized, automated, cybernated environment of the modern world a cold, bodiless world of wheels, smooth plastic surfaces, tubes, pushbuttons, transistors, computers, jet propulsion, rockets to the moon, atomic energy man’s need for affirmation of his biology has become that much more intense. (Atomic Quotes)
The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science; and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy. (Atomic Quotes)
That atomic energy though harnessed by American scientists and army men for destructive purposes may be utilised by other scientists for humanitarian purposes is undoubtedly within the realm of possibility. ... An incendiary uses fire for his destructive and nefarious purpose, a housewife makes daily use of it in preparing nourishing food for mankind. (Atomic Quotes)
General Atomics, the progenitor of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, started life in 1955 when a major military contractor, General Dynamics, feared that the military hardware market might dry up. It began exploring peacetime uses of atomic energy, but abandoned the effort when cold-war military spending took off. (Atomic Quotes)
This is the age of electrical energy. The age of atomic energy hasn’t really dawned yet, not in the way that atomic energy has evolved in other worlds. (Atomic Quotes)
The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. (1945) (Atomic Quotes)
The Solarians have given up something mankind has had for a million years; something worth more than atomic power, cities, agriculture, tools, fire, everything; because it’s something that made everything possible (...) The tribe, sir. Cooperation between individuals. (Atomic Quotes)
Ernest Rutherford’s 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry wasn’t given for the nuclear power station - he wouldn’t have survived that long - it was given for showing how interesting atomic physics could be. (Atomic Quotes)
Atoms are round balls of wood invented by Dr. Dalton.(Answer given by a pupil to a question on atomic theory, as reported by Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe.) (Atomic Quotes)
I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand how the future is going to unfold. You understand what things are not possible. You understand why things work. I get paid to do what I love the most, and that is to work on the Unified Field Theory and to see the future. (Atomic Quotes)
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena. (Atomic Quotes)
Even when they are saturated in the sense of the older theory of valence, the elementary atoms still possess sufficient chemical affinity to bind other seemingly also saturated atoms and groups of atoms, under generation of clearly defined atomic bonds. (Atomic Quotes)
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. (Atomic Quotes)
Quite often ... these little guys, who might be making atomic weapons or who might be guilty of some human rights violation ... are looking for someone to listen to their problems and help them communicate. (Atomic Quotes)
Elijah Snow: ‘Who have you pissed off this time, John?’ John Stone: ‘Sumatran robot death sluts -- Dammit, ONE of these buttons fires the atomic death biter -- (Atomic Quotes)
If our inconceivably ancient universe even had any beginning, the conditions determining that beginning must even now be engraved in the atomic weights. (Atomic Quotes)
In the event of atomic war there is a tremendous biological advantage in the so-called undeveloped areas that have a high birth rate and high death rate because, man, they can plow under those mutations. (Atomic Quotes)
Elements and birthdays have been intertwined for me since boyhood, when I learned about atomic numbers. (Atomic Quotes)
Suppose atomic bombs had reduced the population of the world to one brother and sister; should they let the human race die out? (Atomic Quotes)
My aging body transmits an ageless life stream. Molecular and atomic replacement change life’s composition. Molecules take part in structure and in training, countless trillions of them. After my death, the molecules of my being will return to the earth and sky. They came from the stars. I am of the stars. (Atomic Quotes)
Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the 30s. And into the late 30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early 40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore. (Atomic Quotes)
It’s illegitimate to talk about a post-scarcity Utopia without talking about questions of distribution. There have always been these Utopian predictions - ‘electricity too cheap to meter’ was the atomic promise of the 1950s. (Atomic Quotes)
The Western day is indeed nearing when the inner science of self-control will be found as necessary as the outer conquest of nature. This new Atomic Age will see men’s minds sobered and broadened by the now scientifically indisputable truth that matter is in reality a concentrate of energy. (Atomic Quotes)
A person whose job is deep thinking about atomic war would no more call a ‘megadeath’ a ‘million corpses’ than an embalmer would refer to a ‘loved one’ as a ‘stiff.’ (Atomic Quotes)
You don’t necessarily need atomic bombs to destroy a nation. Politicians who value their pockets than the life of citizens always do that every day. (Atomic Quotes)
The poet existed among the cave men; he will exist among men of the atomic age, for he is an inherent part of man. Even religions have been born from the need for poetry, which is a spiritual need, and it is through the grace of poetry that the divine spark lives forever in the human flint. (Atomic Quotes)
When you do the math and examine how much energy is produced per atomic union, you find that fusing anything to iron’s twenty-six protons costs energy. That means post-ferric fusion* does an energy-hungry star no good. Iron is the final peal of a star’s natural life. (Atomic Quotes)
