Quote by Michael Flynn

Dirac found that the ratio of the electric force to the gravitational force of an electron-proton pair is roughly equal to the ratio of the age of the universe to the time it takes light to traverse an atom.

Summary

This quote highlights the remarkable discovery made by physicist Paul Dirac. He revealed that the relative strength of the electric force compared to the gravitational force between an electron and proton is approximately equal to the ratio of the age of the universe to the time it takes light to travel through an atom. This finding underscores the immense disparity in magnitude between these two fundamental forces and offers insights into the properties and interactions of particles within the atom.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

If we become completely whole-hearted we will have love for

If we become completely whole-hearted we will have love for all people and will seek in each person what is most holy, what God has inspired in him or her. And only then will there be no danger of softening or twisting our witness. Why? Because the capacity of our faith will no longer be narrow. If we are not broadhearted, we have not yet grasped the meaning of faith. We must always be ready to be newly led in our faith, even through the tiniest atom of godliness we find in others. It is that which leads us to the kingdom of God. We affirm that there is something of God in all people -- something of the light. It may only gleam now, but it will eventually lead to complete illumination.
