Particle Quotes

You're seeing the very first, absolutely identified comet particle that has ever been seen. - Don Brownlee

You're just a collection of particles that have come together by chance and by natural selection. - John Calvert

You're getting solid wood ? not all wood, which is pressed board and particle board ? but solid pieces of wood which is glued and screwed together. - Tom Rohaley

You'll see people wearing protective gear. Our concern is (contamination) from us to the particles, not the other way. - Tom Duxbury

You just heat the crystal from room temperature to about 130 degrees. Then you can use it while it's heating or while it's cooling. We're doing it while it's cooling. We're letting it cool back to room temperature, and while it's doing that it's accelerating ions, so it's like a particle accelerator that's very simple. - Yaron Danon

You have that one basic string, but it can vibrate in many ways. But we're trying to get a lot of particles because experimental physicists have discovered a lot of particles. - Edward Witten

You don't want to use large lumps of aluminum because then you only get reactions on the outer surfaces of those lumps, so you don't produce enough hydrogen. What you would rather use is tiny particles that have a high surface area, which enables them to completely react, leaving no waste and producing more hydrogen. - Arvind Varma

You can't see them with the unaided eye (but) with the aided eye (through a microscope) you can see everything. A little particle blown up to high magnification is like working on an entire state! It's amazing. - Don Brownlee

While at Chicago my interest in the new field of particle physics was stimulated by a course given by Gell- Mann, who was developing his ideas about Strangeness at the time. - James Cronin
