Common Scaling Factor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or factor:

    For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:7.

    The words also appear in the Book of Common Prayer, “Burial of the Dead.”

    It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
