Arthur Eddington Quotes

We have this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the sun, you don't have to do anything, it just works. It shows up every day.

The objects that are of moderate energy, like our sun or most of the stars that we see in the night sky with the naked eye, are objects in which relatively moderate energy processes are taking place.

The sun is the only safe nuclear reactor, situated as it is some ninety-three million miles away

The fact that there simply is 5,000 times more sun power than our consumption needs makes me very optimistic. It's a fantastic resource. We have the ingenuity to send man to the moon, so we definitively have the ingenuity to tap the sun's resources…. The biggest challenge [for solar power] is escaping from the economic effects of vendor lock-in where large investments in nuclear and traditional energy sources keep us 'locked-in' to feeding monsters that will bring us down an economic black hole.

Sun is the reason And the world it will bloom 'Cause sun lights the sky And the sun lights the moon

(On the energy radiated by the Sun) It's four hundred million million million million watts. That is a million times the power consumption of the United States every year, radiated in one second, and we worked that out by using some water, a thermometer, a tin, and an umbrella. And that's why I love physics.

Khadi is the sun of the village solar system.

The sun is all about the world we see, the breath and strength of every spring.

The sun is the source of all energy on planet Earth and we cannot experiment with our only energy source.

You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine

The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.

Just think, that man can claim a slice of the sun.

We owe our lives to the sun... How is it, then, that we feel no gratitude?

The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.

If we use our fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful, and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations. The heat of the sun's rays represents an immense amount of energy vastly in excess of waterpower...The sun's energy controlled to create lakes and rivers for motive purposes and transformation of arid deserts into fertile land.

Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.

Better to try understanding the sun than a woman.

We're physically part of the sun. The sun gives us energy, creates our world.

I say it is impossible that so sensible a people [citizens of Paris], under such circumstances, should have lived so long by the smoky, unwholesome, and enormously expensive light of candles, if they had really known that they might have had as much pure light of the sun for nothing.

If you were running a solar company you may be okay - you may be able to keep growing. The question for physics is: Can you grow fast enough to begin to catch up with the damage?

Every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar.

A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. This reservoir can scarcely be other than the subatomic energy which, it is known exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn how to release it and use it for his service. The store is well nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped. There is sufficient in the Sun to maintain its output of heat for 15 billion years.

We can deploy a half a billion more solar panels.

The main problem with solar on the Earth's surface is that it is so intermittent, and we don't have decent storage yet.

The sun. I hate the sun.
