The key issue is the shift of the centre of gravity from the West to the East, the rise of China and India.
Klaus Schwab
Image
String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the two nuclear forces, can be viewed, as music.
Michio Kaku
Image
Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity. We are several decades away from a definitive understanding, 20 or 30 years, but it could be sooner than that.
Kip Thorne
Image
It is the saying of an ancient sage that humor was the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor.
Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury
Image
No king or minister could have instructed Newton to discover the law of gravity, for they did not know and could not know that there was such a law to discover. No Treasury official told Fleming to discover penicillin. Nor was Rutherford instructed to split the atom by a certain date.
C. Northcote Parkinson
Image
You haven't seen untidiness until you've seen a room where gravity has failed twice in different directions.
Michael Marshall Smith
Image
What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura
Image
The first time I saw Mikhail Baryshnikov it was like he had an anti-gravity machine in his pants. He would jump and stay in the air for 10 minutes.
Gary Busey
Image
Words, too, have genuine substance -- mass and weight and specific gravity.
Tim O'Brien
Image
It follows at once from the last proposition that the centre of gravity of any triangle is at the intersection of the lines drawn from any two angles to the middle points of the opposite sides respectively.
Archimedes
Image
The light works, he said, indicating the window, the gravity works, he said, dropping a pencil on the floor. Anything else we have to take our chances with.
Douglas Adams
Image
The labor of rising from the ground will be great, ... but as we mount higher, the earth's attraction, and the body's gravity, will be gradually diminished till we arrive at a region where the man will float in the air without any tendency to fall.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men lifted out of sickness by the power of prayer. It is the only power in the world that overcomes the laws of nature.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. Being House is like flying, too. He's free of the gravity of what people think.
Hugh Laurie
Image
The first rule of world-building is available physics, which basically means that if you want it to feel real, it has to follow the same rules as this world, from gravity to how human behaviour works. If you have a fantasy element that doesnt obey the laws of physics, make sure that it has a fantasy explanation.
Trudi Canavan

When I served as US Ambassador to NATO in the 1970s, the center of gravity in Europe was France and Germany.
Donald Rumsfeld
Image
There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Economics is like gravity: Ignore it and you will be in for some rude surprises.
Charles Wheelan
Image
You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
Alan Cohen
Image
In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience
Minnie Driver
Image
It's actually kind of weird that we can comprehend the law of gravity, or that we can understand quantum mechanics, enough at least to make computers.
Edward Boyden
Image
We juggle priceless eggs in variable gravity. I am afraid. I will taste fear until I die.
Jerry Pournelle
Image
The most important thing is to be healthy, to drink a lot of water, to fight gravity as much as possible. I am one of the few people who decided I wasn't going to do any invasion with my face.
Diane von Furstenberg
Image
A grave aspect to a grave character is of much more consequence than the world is generally aware of a barber may make you laugh, but a surgeon ought rather to make you cry.
