“The most common and most important result of them is that the nature and size of the effect on corresponding series of different elements are largely an expression of the peculiarity of their atomic structure - or, at least, of the structure of the surface.” ImportantDifferentResultsCommonEffectsExpressionElementsStructureSeriesSizeSurfaceCorrespondingAtomic Structure Author:Johannes Stark
“In 1974 I nearly got into a fistfight with some early academic feminists in a restaurant when I casually alluded to a hormonal element in sex differences. It was utterly unacceptable at that time to think or say such a thing... If you have any doubts about the effect of hormones on emotion, libido and aggression, have a chat with a transexual, who must take hormones medically. He or she will set you straight.” IfsThinkingSexDifferencesEmotionDoubtEffectsElementsFeministRestaurantsAcademicAggressionHormonesTime To ThinkLibidoSex Differences Author:Camille Paglia

“The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.” ArtProblemActionLawUniverseGivenProcessNaturalProgressInfluenceSubjectsEffectsObjectsTheoryIndustryElementsResearchRelationConstantAidsExperimentsMathematicalAnalysisHeatCalculusNatural SciencePropagationMathematical AnalysisIntegral Calculus Author:Joseph Fourier
“Art's effect is due to the tension resulting from the clash of the collocation of elements of two (or more) systems of interpretation.

“Love is a very contradiction of all the elements of our ordinary nature -- it makes the proud man meek -- the cheerful, sad -- the high-spirited, tame; our strongest resolutions, our hardiest energy fail before it.

“Certain elements of today's ecological crisis reveal its moral character. First among these is the indiscriminate application of advances in science and technology. Many recent discoveries have brought undeniable benefits to humanity. Indeed, they demonstrate the nobility of the human vocation to participate responsibly in God's creative action in the world. Unfortunately, it is now clear that the application of these discoveries in the fields of industry and agriculture have produced harmful long-term effects.” WorldFirstsHumansLongCharacterTodayActionCertainHumanityTermMoralTechnologyCreativeClearEffectsFieldsIndustryElementsBenefitsDiscoveryCrisisEnvironmentalLong TermApplicationSustainabilityAgricultureVocationNobilityEcologicalScience And TechnologyMoral CharacterAdvances In ScienceEcological Crisis Author:Pope John Paul II
“I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.” ThinkingMenAudienceSpecialEffectsWallWalkingElementsFlyingShootingFlamesExcitementSpecial Effects Author:Stan Lee
“The activities and effects of the Fire and Air elements in the astral sphere call forth the astral-electric fluid, and the activities and effects of the Water and Earth elements call forth the astral-magnetic fluid. The spirit-beings use these fluids to create the effects or rather the causes in our physical world.

“The vital elements are often momentary, change-sent things ... a gleam of light on water, a trail of smoke from a passing train, a cat crossing the threshold. Sometimes they are a matter of luck, sometimes of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that you have seen.

“Sometimes people come in as a director, and they just want the result, and they barely want that to tell you the truth.
