Francis Bacon Quotes

And I was crying for gravity. It had sent me down the stairs, and I'd thought that meant something, but maybe it was just the direction that all things tend to flow.

We account for one-sixth of the forces of gravity we see in the universe. There is no known objects accounting for most of the effective gravity in the universe. Something is making stuff move that is not anything we have ever touched.

If you go down through the horizon of a black hole, at the center you don't find a tunnel that leads you to some other place in the universe.

Gravity wins over all other known forces.

I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

You can be only a modest distance away from the gravity brane, and gravity will be incredibly weak.

I have explained the phenomena of the heavens and of our sea by the force of gravity, but I have not yet assigned a cause to gravity.

There is still some gravity where we are and even as far out as our moon. That is why our moon stays in orbit around the Earth. We don't feel the gravity up here because it is so much smaller than the force we feel when we are on the Earth.

You think Earth's gravity is really something when you're climbing the stairs. But, as far as physics goes, it is a pipsqueak, infinitesimal, tiny little effect.

That body is heavier than another which, in an equal bulk, moves downward quicker.

In the school I went to, they asked a kid to prove the law of gravity and he threw the teacher out of the window.

I suppose I'll have to add the force of gravity to my list of enemies.

And then everything was in the hands of gravity, which has never had much love for the terminally stupid.

Gravity has taken over me from time to time. But otherwise than that, I'm blessed with good health. That's the bottom line.

Power, time, gravity, love. The forces that really kick ass are all invisible.

I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitational pull has become since 1990.

When you fall into a black hole you will be literally spaghettified.

Weight is caused by one element being situated in another; and it moves by the shortest line towards its centre, not by its own choice, not because the centre draws it to itself, but because the other intervening element cannot withstand it.

We see only the simple motion of descent, since that other circular one common to the Earth, the tower, and ourselves remains imperceptible. There remains perceptible to us only that of the stone, which is not shared by us; and, because of this, sense shows it as by a straight line, always parallel to the tower, which is built upright and perpendicular upon the terrestrial surface.

You sometimes speak of gravity as essential and inherent to matter. Pray do not ascribe that notion to me, for the cause of gravity is what I do not pretend to know, and therefore would take more time to consider of it.

When the forces that hold it together go away, the body must fall.

Gravity is a mutual affection between cognate bodies towards union or conjunction (similar in kind to the magnetic virtue), so that the earth attracts a stone much rather than the stone seeks the earth.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

Every particle of matter is attracted by or gravitates to every other particle of matter with a force inversely proportional to the squares of their distances.
