Gravitational Quotes
-
Gravitational systems are the ashes of prior electrical systems.
Hannes Alfven -
... the current of time slowing down in the gravitational field of oblivion.
W. G. Sebald
-
We know about black holes and neutron stars, but we hope there are other phenomena we can see because of the gravitational waves they emit.
Rainer Weiss -
To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.
Lee De Forest -
When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect with ordinary human senses.
Kip Thorne -
Experimentally, we now have demonstrated that Einstein's theory is right in strong gravitational fields. That's important to a lot of people.
Rainer Weiss -
I thought that there must be an easier way to explain how a gravitational wave interacts with matter: If one just looked at the most primitive thing of all, 3D floating masses out in space, and look at how the space between them changed because of the gravitational wave coming between them.
Rainer Weiss -
This is why people are so hard to understand. I cannot even estimate their gravitational pull.
