“Each celestial body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole.” WholeCharacterFactsBodyFormSoundMovementProduceParticularElementsUniversalAccountsFunctionHarmonyRhythmAtomsVibrationsCelestialCelestial Bodies Author:Pythagoras
“Newton supposed that all matter attracted other matter inversely according to the square of the distance; and the hypothesis was found to account for the whole movements of the heavenly bodies; which all became verifications of what Newton supposed to be the law of the solar system. Adopt the hypothesis that Jesus was what He is represented, and the whole of the books and the history becomes a verification.” BookMatterWholeBodyLawFoundJesusMovementAccountsDistanceSupposed To BeHeavenlySquaresHypothesisNewtonSolar SystemVerificationHeavenly Bodies Book:Christianity and Positivism: A Series of Lectures to the Times on Natural Theology and Apologetics Source: Christianity and Positivism: A Series of Lectures to the Times on Natural Theology and Apologetics
“Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A profile is never motionless before our eyes, but it constantly appears and disappears. On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina, moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like rapid vibrations, in their mad career. Thus a running horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular.” EyeRunningMovingFormCareersFourMovementObjectsAll ThingsAccountsHorseTwentiesMadLegsDisappearRapidsVibrationsProfile Author:Giacomo Balla

“We have a deal. And so there's movement towards a peace agreement, you know, a peace accord, a cease-fire, which is great. That's fabulous. It's unfortunate that we're also bombing Syria together [with Russians], and in my view we need - what we need to do together is create a weapons embargo together and get all the parties with the program here, and also collaborate on a freeze on the bank accounts of those countries that continue to fund terrorist enterprises, the No. 1 source of that being the Saudis.” KnowsNeedsCountryTogetherViewsDealsPartyFireMovementSourceWeaponsProgramAccountsTerroristCeaseEnterpriseAgreementFundUnfortunateSyriaFabulousAccordFreezeBombingSaudisBank AccountsEmbargo Author:Jill Stein

“The end of the eighteenth and the commencement of the nineteenth century are remarkable for the small amount of scientific movement going on in this country, especially in its more exact departments. Mathematics were at the last gasp, and astronomy nearly so; I mean in those members of its frame which depend upon precise measurement and systematic calculation. The chilling torpor of routine had begun to spread itself over all those branches of Science which wanted the excitement of experimental research.” MeanEndsCountryWantedLastsScienceCenturyMovementDependsAmountMembersResearchAccountsMathematicsSpreadAstronomyExcitementBranchesDepartmentRemarkableRoutinePreciseChillMeasurementCalculationsSystematicNineteenth CenturySmall Amounts Author:John Herschel
