A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
物理
Physics
Other than the laws of physics, rules have never really worked out for me.
除了物理定律，规则从来没有真正对我起作用。
Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant.
物理学的基础是假定自然界的某些基本特征是不变的。
There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.
目前在原子物理学中，相对较少的不涉及激光的实验。
The physics are simple in theory, but in practice they are filled with the possibility for limitless error.
物理学在理论上很简单，但在实践中却充满了无限误差的可能性。
My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.
我的背景是物理学，所以我是任务专家，有点像飞机上的飞行工程师。
It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.
认为物理学的任务是发现自然界是怎样的是错误的。物理学关注我们对自然的看法。
In physics, to be in two places at the same time would be a miracle; in politics it seems not merely normal, but natural.
在物理学中，同时出现在两个地方将是一个奇迹;在政治上，这似乎不仅是正常的，而且是自然的。
Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.
正如你在物理课上所记得的，磁力是一种强大的力量，它能使某些东西被冰箱所吸引。
As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists.
本科时，我学数学和物理。这并不能说明我是科学家。所以我试着阅读、理解和与科学家交谈。
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
现代物理学不可能用完全决定论来预测任何事情，因为它从一开始就涉及概率。
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
自从爱因斯坦发展了相对论，卢瑟福和玻尔革命性地改变了物理学，我们对世界的认识也发生了根本性的变化。
The methods of theoretical physics should be applicable to all those branches of thought in which the essential features are expressible with numbers.
理论物理学的方法应该适用于所有那些基本特征可以用数字表示的思想分支。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.
因此，重合法的许多应用将在核物理的大领域中被发现，我们可以毫不夸张地说，这种方法是现代核物理学家的基本工具之一。
What folly takes light through ether to each eye from every horizon.
多么愚蠢的行为，让光穿过以太，从每一个地平线进入每一只眼睛。
Physics investigates the essential nature of the world, and biology describes a local bump. Psychology, human psychology, describes a bump on the bump.
物理学研究世界的本质，而生物学则描述局部的撞击。心理学，人类心理学，描述撞击上的撞击。
If you miss one day in physics, that's it.
如果你错过了一天的物理课，就这样。
Dark energy is perhaps the biggest mystery in physics.
暗能量可能是物理学中最大的谜团。
Nuclear physics is interesting but it is unlikely to help society.
核物理很有趣，但它不太可能帮助社会。
