The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer.

Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase - that is, as the wavelength decreases.

By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world.

By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms.

The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks.

A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.

The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms.

The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle.

The discovery of various phenomena has led to a recognition of the fact that the chemical atom is an individual which again is itself made up of several units into a selfcontained whole.

It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system.

That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

I had such a big mouth for so long that it doesn't faze anybody anymore.

In fact, NSF was the leading successful efforts to improve U.S. math and science education long before the Department of Education was even created.

He (Branch Rickey) must think I went to the Massachesetts Constitution of Technology.

The only absolute attainment is absolute abandonment.

The mirror never sees itself. The reflection never is itself.

We live in a unipolar world at this point with America as a moral arbiter and the whole morality is based on this insane corporatocracy.

Laws of physics laws of love of time and space and the (in)between place (in)between you and me and where we are lost and looking looking and lost

I just feel like I'm going to be criticized regardless of what I do next, so I might as well do something that I feel really passionate about.

I don't even feel as if I'm the center of my own world, so how am I supposed to feel as though I'm the center of anyone else's?
