Again he was assailed and ridiculed by the technical press, for had not the foremost electricians and physicists of Europe and America worked for years on the production of dynamos and arc lamps as they then existed?
It was then, and for a long time after, the eighth wonder of the scientific world, and its arrival and installation in Paris were eagerly watched by the most famous physicists and electricians of Europe.
But in modern times even thephysicists have found matters grow thinner in their hands: they have come upon imponderable matters, like heat, light, &c.
This language is very characteristic of the physicists who dabble in psychology and imagine they are treading in the steps of Kant, if not even verifying what they call his guesswork: cf.
His plea for more time since the cooling of the globe than physicists were willing to allow remains one of the classics of geological literature.
It's about one of those rocket physicists in the list you brought me.
Without comment, they pointed a cosmic finger at the tarnished brass plaque commemorating the martyrdom of the Three Physicists after the dropping of the Hell Bomb.
And what about the other dozen rocket physicists Jorj asked to come?
The two physicists fronted each other across a coffee table.
He asked himself if he'd been wise in summoning the rocket physicists without consulting Tregarron.
The old feud of the physicists against the Thinkers may be getting hot again.
For long, physicists refused to admit the validity of any other theory, and combated in particular the idea that lightning could issue from a single isolated cloud.
At this period, physicists were of the belief that lightning was "an exhalation of nitre and sulphur," acting something after the fashion of powder, and able to burn up or throw over everything encountered on its route.
Here is a fourth instance, given me long ago by one of the most learnedphysicists of last century, Hoin, of the Institute.
We may, in passing, correct the error of those who credit French physicists with having originated the idea of the pointed conductor.
These accomplishedphysicists he also affectionately called his "twenty-one coefficients.
And it is just in this direction that he exercised the most unmistakable influence, first of all, on the English physicist, and then on the physicists of all the world.
In opposition to this, it is true, some physicists have held that natural law is a fatal necessity.
The purely morphological imitations of bacteria or cells which physicists have now and then proclaimed as artificially produced living beings; or the plays on words by which, e.
Now and then it almost seems as if the biologists had done their share by supplying the problems and that the physicists and geologists would settle them, but in reality it is not so.
The discovery of the new property of radio-activity in a small number of chemical elements led physicists to ask whether the property might not be found in other elements, though in a much less striking form.
This is one of the conclusions for which I hope, as I said, physicists will blush hereafter.
So long as physicistspreserved their old philosophical traditions, a distinction was kept up between force and movement.
Yet it was to be expected that our physicists in their technical language would confound heat, light, and other modes of movement with forces and powers.
When, therefore, physicists speak to us of such movements as powers, let us not be imposed upon by their phraseology, if we wish to be consistent in our reasonings, and avoid useless and troublesome disputes.
Physicists sometimes give the name of action and reaction to the opposite efforts of two conflicting bodies.
Indeed, some physicists believe that they can even determine approximately the density of ether.
Galvani seems to have concerned himself principally with the physiological processes which he believed gave rise to the electric charges, but physicists began immediately to seek for other sources of the electricity.
He, with many others, including some of the most distinguished physicists and chemists of the past century, regard the electrical transference as a secondary phenomenon resulting from the previous oxidation of one of the metals.
To explain this combination of the seemingly contradictory qualities of brittleness and viscosity in ice, physicists have directed attention to the remarkable transformations which take place in water at the freezing-point.
Meanwhile astronomers and physicists have been gradually setting limits to geological time until they have now reached conclusions strikingly in contrast with those held by the mass of English geologists forty years ago.
Now unless the astronomers and physicists are all at sea about the causes of glaciation, the warm temperate zone can never be pushed any further south than the tropical zone, nor the cold temperate any further than the sub-tropical.
It is true that some eminent astronomers and physicists hesitate to accept the theory that these glacial epochs are due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit.
To allege its indestructibility, as the physicists do, is simply to predicate an additional property of indestructible matter.
It was not less against this form of idealism than against the determinism of the early physicists that Socrates protested.
It falls at a slower rate in the cloud, the rate probably being that computed by physicists as the adiabatic rate for air in which condensation is taking place.
The missile with its deadly warhead exploded in the Pacific Ocean as planned, the physicists and the military men went home to study their notes, and the world shivered once more over the approaching war and tried to forget about it.
The physicists consider it a biological matter, and the biologists seem to think the chemists should have the answer.
They were divided into smaller groups according to their specialties, electronic men going one way, astronomers and mathematical physicists another, chemists and general physicists in still another direction.
Psychologists know of no spirit or soul without a body constituted of parts any more than physicists know of a force without matter constituted of molecules, atoms, electrons and ions.
Several years ago there was a meeting or congress of physicists and electrical engineers from all over the world who discussed what they thought should be the unit in which to measure current.
Now I want to tell you how the physicists at the Bureau know what is an ampere.
So, while the whole world was mourning the fact that one of Earth's greatest physicists has died, he was being held captive in the most secret and secure prison that the Red Chinese government could put him in.
Ch'ien to attend the International Physicists Conference in Peiping.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "physicists" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
