Defined Particle

Famous quotes containing the words defined and/or particle:

“Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)

“Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.”
