Relativist Quotes : pic 000821876
It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954392
Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000431693
The relativists' stance is extremely condescending: it treats a complex society as a monolith, obscures the conflicts within it, and takes its most obscurantist factions as spokespeople for the whole.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001490410
If the relativist claims that, since all reasoning is embodied in a particular social context, no claim to know the truth can be sustained, one has to ask for the basis on which this claim is made. It is, after all, a claim to know something about reality - namely that reality is unknowable.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000339384
It may be that there is no such thing as an equable motion, whereby time may be accurately measured. All motions may be accelerated or retarded, but the true, or equable, progress of absolute time is liable to no change.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001635602
Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000789586
The speed of light sucks.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000994839
The world appears rectilinear, but is in fact curvilinear - a literal truth in physics, and a metaphorical one in metaphysics.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001643713
In bodies moved, the motion is received, increased, diminished, or lost, according to the relations of the quantity of matter and velocity; each diversity is uniformity, each change is constancy.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001834774
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relativity.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001105657
The absolutist trumpets his plain vision; the relativist sees only someone who is unaware of his own spectacles.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001208435
It would seem that I, who never could make much sense of physics when I was at school, have now gained a strong sense of Einsteinian space-time. I am free of the nimbyism of now, and feel a strong kinship with both the dead and the unborn.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000732464
Stuart needs "space" and "time," as if this were physics and not a human relationship.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000756967
The total number of people who understand relativistic time, even after eighty years since the advent of special relativity, is still much smaller than the number of people who believe in horoscopes.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000938653
The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954417
You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity ... No we must not. You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000802288
True time is four-dimensional.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001151929
But the velocities of the velocities - the second, third, fourth, and fifth velocities, etc. - exceed, if I mistake not, all human understanding ...
Relativist Quotes : pic 001003063
My present work concerns the problems connected with the theory of elementary particles, the theory of gravitation and cosmology and I shall be glad if I can manage to make some contribution to these important branches of science.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000332283
So strong was the preconception of absolute space and time in the scientific mentality of those days, that Lorentz did not realize the grand transcendence of what he had discovered, and contented himself with remodeling the edifice of Physics
instead of rebuilding it with a new foundation.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000771884
The modern physicist is a quantum theorist on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and a student of gravitational relativity on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday, he is praying ... that someone will find the reconciliation between the two views.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000714973
The influence of modern physics goes beyond technology. It extends to the realm of thought and culture where it has led to a deep revision in man's conception of the universe and his relation to it
Relativist Quotes : pic 001044703
Relativism is neither a method of fighting, nor a method of creating, for both of these are uncompromising and at times even ruthless; rather, it is a method of cognition.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000980428
Things have their forms not only in space, but also in time.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000526893
There are, above all, times in which the human reality, always mobile, accelerates, and bursts into vertiginous speeds. Our time is such a one, for it is made of descent and fall.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000615246
Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000694447
It is curious that the human mind could blindly accept an infinite speed but had reservations to accept a finite one, simply because it was too large!
Relativist Quotes : pic 001451595
Everybody at the speed of light tends to become a nobody.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001607214
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000011006
Quantum field theory, which was born just fifty years ago from the marriage of quantum mechanics with relativity, is a beautiful but not very robust child.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000215242
Physics has never been a comfortable subject for human psychology. The desire to regard everything outside the human race's purview as insignificant, and everything within that purview as firmly under the control of tribal myth and custom, is as strong today as it was in the time of Galileo.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000808476
All great results in our universe are founded in motions and forces the most minute.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001437072
Twentieth-century physics, going full circle back to Heracleitus, postulates that all matter is in motion. In other words, there is no thing, only energy.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000280247
Don't worry if you're having a hard time following this oversimplified explanation of physics' most challenging problem. For most of us, understanding special relativity is a little like true love: We should consider ourselves lucky if we can grasp hold of it for even one fleeting moment.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000498083
When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute - it's longer than an hour. That's relativity! Albert Einstein
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954416
Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001571917
Rational of whatever is happening all around came together in a train of light which, when it traverse in return, is the pervasive expression of one's own mind
Relativist Quotes : pic 000698835
All is flux, nothing is stationary.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001184974
Each of us has our own unit of measurement, our own relativity. Spaces between loves. Spaces between destinations. Spaces between deaths.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001487026
Mass man is a phenomenon of electric speed, not of physical quantity.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001619820
Conceptual relativism is a heady and exotic doctrine, or would be if we could make good sense of it. The trouble is, as so often in philosophy, it is hard to improve intelligibility while retaining the excitement.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000326934
We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000055422
Given that the 'common sense' of many contemporary philosophers is shaped and supplemented by ideas from classical physics, the locus of most metaphysical discussions is an image of the world that sits unhappily between the manifest image and an out of date scientific image.11
Relativist Quotes : pic 000483878
Have you ever heard of the theory of relativity?"
Artemis blinked. "Is this a joke? I have traveled through time, Doctor. I think I know a little something about relativity.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001832483
Relativism is one of the many crimes committed by intellectuals. It is a betrayal of reason and of humanity.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000243030
It is ironic that Einsteins most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed [..] ...
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954397
If, relative to K, K' is a uniformly moving co-ordinate system devoid of rotation, then natural phenomena run their course with respect to K' according to exactly the same general laws as with respect to K. This statement is called the Principle of Relativity (in the restricted sense).
Relativist Quotes : pic 000279502
We say that the world's magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed ... Time and Space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent speed.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954396
When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes; when you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000909702
There is now a feeling that the pieces of physics are falling into place, not because of any single revolutionary idea or because of the efforts of any one physicist, but because of a flowering of many seeds of theory, most of them planted long ago.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954414
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000222256
Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000802153
In the spring of 1929, I returned to the United States. I was homesick for this country. I had learned in my student days a great deal about the new physics. I wanted to pursue this myself, to explain it, and to foster its cultivation.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001166284
All thought is energy. All things are in motion. All time is now.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001535792
We are all time travelers moving at the speed of exactly 60 minutes per hour.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000669087
Time, matter, space - all, it may be, are no more than a point.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001746716
Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000715280
The physics of motion provides one of the clearest examples of the counter-intuitive and unexpected nature of science.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001667593
Time has only a relative existence.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000446665
The objective and merit of Einstein's theory is to identify those physical magnitudes which are absolute, i.e. common for all Inertial Frames, distinguishing them from those which are a mere perspective, only shared by those observers in repose within a given Inertial Frame.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000776309
everything travels through spacetime at the speed of light.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000233370
Einstein was wrong! IM the speed of like CRACKING through shivery rainbows and GOD the sky whirls and withers like a melting RAINBOW!
Relativist Quotes : pic 000358731
Cognition is not fighting, but once someone knows a lot, he will have much to fight for, so much that he will be called a relativist because of it.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000006211
The speed of light does not merely transform the world. It becomes the world. Globalization is the speed of light.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000954420
Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001444006
Time is the moving image of reality
Relativist Quotes : pic 000396190
The universe is Time's body.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000041095
Particle physicists may freeze a second, open it up, and explore its dappled contents like surgeons pawing through an abdomen, but in real life, when events occur within thousandths of a second, our minds cannot distinguish past from future.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001463854
The whole Universe is moving all the time, and we must do like-wise.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000510775
Surprisingly now, over a half a century later, time symmetric approaches to electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, gravity, and cosmology might be consonant with the kind of eschatology that a theist such as Pannenberg supports.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000654754
Paradox is a pointer telling you to look beyond it. If paradoxes bother you, that betrays your deep desire for absolutes. The relativist treats a paradox merely as interesting, perhaps amusing or even, dreadful thought, educational.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001321840
Reality moves unnoticeably in the alternatives space like the minute hand on a watch, but that does not mean it is not moving! That
Relativist Quotes : pic 001744910
Matter moves, but Ether is strained.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001560558
I claim that relativity and the rest of modern physics is not complicated. It can be explained very simply. It is only unusual or, put another way, it is contrary to common sense.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000880692
Time is not a movement in space. Space is a movement in time.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000297231
The current of time slowing down in the gravitational field of oblivion.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001419814
Part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to laws of space and time.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000789355
And as short as two miles had come to seem to him over the course of his running career, it occurred to him now that two miles was an insurmountable distance to an infant, or a legless man, or a human cadaver for that matter. Einstein was right, he decided. It is all relative.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001095312
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
Relativist Quotes : pic 000853959
Physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky action at a distance.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001378955
The speed of time is 1 hour per hour, no matter what else is going on in the universe.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000135767
And it was the speed that provided some solace. For if it moved like that, it would always move like that, and somehow, because of it, things change, somehow things end.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000087030
In our dynamic age, the speed of motion is increasing
Relativist Quotes : pic 000504591
Einstein is loved because he is gentle, respected because he is wise. Relativity being not for most of us, we elevate its author to a position somewhere between Edison, who gave us a tangible gleam, and God, who gave us the difficult dark and the hope of penetrating it.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000804706
Each ray of light moves in the coordinate system 'at rest' with the definite, constant velocity V independent of whether this ray of light is emitted by a body at rest or a body in motion.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000189792
It is as though the space between us were time: an irrevocable quality. It is as though time, no longer running straight before us in a diminishing line, now runs parallel between us like a looping string, the distance being the doubling accretion of the thread an not the interval between.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001067899
When time is reduced to linear progress, it is emptied of presence.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001490411
The absolutist parades his good solid grounding in observation, reason, objectivity, truth and fact; the relativist sees only fetishes.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000559942
In motion alone is the answer to all of the mysteries of matter.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001410895
We can say the stars are moving because we have a relative context.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000483017
Rejecting all organs of informationbut my senses, I rid myself of the Pyrrhonisms with which an indulgence in speculations hyperphysical and antiphysical so uselessly occupy and disquiet the mind.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000321239
In spacetime, all events are baked together: a four-dimensional continuum. Past and future are no more privileged than left and right or up and down.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000004106
Thus to seek with ready-made concepts to penetrate into the inmost nature of things is to apply to the mobility of the real a method created in order to give stationary points of observation on it ...
Relativist Quotes : pic 001321004
At times we seem to move in parallel rather than in combination, then at odd moments collide.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000422882
The only consistent response for a relativist is, "Pushing morality is wrong for me, but that's just my personal opinion, and has nothing to do with you. Please ignore me.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000109895
The fifth leading division of names is into relative and absolute, or let us rather say, relative and non-relative; for the word absolute is put upon much too hard duty in metaphysics, not to be willingly spared when its services can be dispensed with.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001728744
In the twentieth century nothing can better cure the anthropocentrism that is the author of all our ills than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or the infinitely small).
Relativist Quotes : pic 000632203
When I look back on my life-and an extraordinary transformation is happening again to me right now - I describe it as my "point of observation" is moving. It is moving because my range of frequencies I am accessing is becoming greater. It's not because I'm something special because anyone can do it.
Relativist Quotes : pic 000197327
The basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Relativist Quotes : pic 001375248
Time sits at the center of the tangle of problems raised by the intersection of gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics.
