Ordinary Scientific Notation

Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or scientific:

    “The ordinary night was graced
    For them by the swift tide of blood
    That silently they took at flood,
    And for a little time they prized
    Themselves emparadised.”
    —Howard Nemerov (b. 1920)

    “There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
