Atomic Clock

Famous quotes containing the words atomic and/or clock:

“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“They’ll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
They’ll tell the clock to any business that
We say befits the hour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
