A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
物理
Physics
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。
Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.
剑桥是殖民地或自治领人去的地方,他们去卡文迪什实验室研究物理。
If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them.
如果有人对医学和物理感兴趣,并且喜欢与人合作,与人沟通良好,我会强烈鼓励他们。
It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.
说二十世纪是物理学的世纪,二十一世纪将是生物学的世纪,这已成为公认的智慧的一部分。
That's absolutely correct and in addition to that life just isn't an accident of the laws of physics. There's a long list of experiments that suggest just the opposite.
这是绝对正确的,除此之外,生命并不是物理定律的偶然。有一长串的实验表明恰恰相反。
Eight months later, having left Columbia, I was studying physics in a summer program and working in Colorado when I decided to enroll as a graduate student in biophysics.
八个月后,在离开哥伦比亚大学后,我参加了一个暑期项目,学习物理,并在科罗拉多工作。
When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed.
当天气变化时,没有人相信物理定律发生了变化。同样,我认为,当股市陷入可怕的震荡时,它的规则不会改变。
My students know I have a life, they know I've written about my life. They know some detail, probably more than they know about their physics teacher, but I would've told them anyway!
我的学生知道我有自己的生活,他们知道我写过自己的生活。他们知道一些细节,可能比他们对物理老师知道的还多,但无论如何我都会告诉他们!
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.
物理学的新公式把人类描述成矛盾的存在,他们有两个互补的方面:他们可以展示牛顿物体的特性,也可以展示无限的意识领域。
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。
Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
物理学变得如此复杂,以至于培养一个物理学家需要的时间越来越长。事实上,要把一个物理学家培养到能够理解物理问题本质的程度需要很长时间,以至于他已经老得无法解决这些问题了。
A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.
对原子物理学中观测过程的仔细分析表明,亚原子粒子作为孤立的实体没有任何意义,只能理解为实验准备与后续测量之间的相互联系。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.
物理学对物理学家来说变得太难了。
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。
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。
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。
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。
