People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too. ↗

But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy behavior, comes from quantum mechanical indeterminacy. ↗

Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy. ↗

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes. ↗

The United States as we know it today is largely the result of mechanical inventions, and in particular of agricultural machinery and the railroad. ↗

I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing. ↗

It really depends, but, generally speaking, just because of the mechanics of it, voice-over is easier because there is no hair, no makeup, no wardrobe, no fittings, no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body, the family life to do voice-overs. ↗

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. ↗

I also think that I had great mechanics. ↗

It had more layers than an onion. These writers meant business. There was a level for everybody. Your major could be celestial mechanics, and there'd be celestial-mechanics jokes. ↗
