Just because an apple falls one hundred times out of a hundred does not mean it will fall on the hundred and first. ↗

Newton's work on gravity led to the discovery of the Lagrange point, a place where opposing forces cancel one another out, and a body may remain at relative rest. This is where I am right now; the forces in my life confound one another. Better, for the moment, to be here and now, without history or future. ↗

So, did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what? I've never seen him act like that. ↗

If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent ↗

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why. ↗

I had the idea that it would be wonderful to be a physicist or a mathematician maybe 500 years ago around the time of Newton when there were really fundamental things just lying around to be discovered. ↗

I think Newt Gingrich has a proven track record of changing Washington and getting results. ↗

Newton, of course, was the inventor of differential calculus so his place in the tale is quite special. ↗

The new formula in physics describes humans as paradoxical beings who have two complementary aspects: They can show properties of Newtonian objects and also infinite fields of consciousness. ↗

Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs. ↗
