“What is it possible to do well, in physics particularly, if things are not reduced to degrees and measures?”

What is it possible to do well, in physics particularly, if things are not reduced to degrees and measures?

If you have seen with your own eyes a mountain move forward in a plain; that is, a huge rock of this mountain’ breaking off and covering entire fields; a whole castle sunken into the earth.

I continue to form a column. If the column contains about twenty of these couples of metal, it will be capable of giving to the fingers several small shocks.

I am still of the same opinion because the impossibility of the formation of mountains by the sea is demonstrated to me.

The language of experiment is more authoritative than any reasoning: facts can destroy our ratiocination—not vice versa.

I continue coupling a plate of silver with one of zinc, and always in the same order, and place between each of these couples a moistened disk. I continue to form a column. If the column contains about twenty of these couples of metal, it will be capable of giving to the fingers several small shocks.

Each metal has a certain power, which is different from metal to metal, of setting the electric fluid in motion.

The most marvellous instrument which men have yet invented, the telescope and the steam engine not excepted.

Heroes of physics, Argonauts of our time Who leaped the mountains, who crossed the seas. You have confirmed in uncomfortable places What Newton knew without leaving his study.

You must be ready to give up even the most attractive ideas when experiment shows them to be wrong.

Measurement of life should be proportioned rather to the intensity of the experience than to its actual length.

But perhaps the best way to measure your progress is with a habit tracker.

A good scientist values criticism almost higher than friendship: no, in science criticism is the height and measure of friendship.

A life worth living might be measured in many ways, but the one way that stands above all others is living a life of no regrets.

Love has no limitations. It cannot be measured. It has no boundaries. Although many have tried, love is indefinable.

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.

There is no credulity so eager and blind as the credulity of covetousness, which, in its universal extent, measures the moral misery and the intellectual destitution of mankind.

Music can measure how broad our horizons are. My mind wants to see to infinity.
