“…The use of virtual machine images, as for example with Cloud services such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud, is attractive for users as they have a guaranteed execution environment, something that cannot today be provided across sites participating in computing grids such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid. …”

“…Contrary to popular belief, such modal accounts of time do not commit us to the view that there is something metaphysically special about the present moment, and they are easily reconciled with the theory of relativity.…”

“…Be it conventional accelerator experiments, the use of microwave techniques in search of cosmic axions, or taking advantage of high power lasers to observe light-by-light scattering, the excitement of searching for something new in the face of failures and then successes is enriching, and the collaboration with gifted and outstanding colleagues and students proves insightful. …”

“…Even superstring theory is based on quantum mechanics. There is something odd about quantum mechanics: it brilliantly allows us to predict the outcome of experiments, yet it gives confusing statements about what really is going on inside particles and fields. …”

“…Although meant primarily for the student and teacher of physics, it will be of interest to other scientists and to historians of science, and to those who wish to know something about physics, how it started, and how it developed to its present day magnificence and sophistication.…”

“…This  book traces the history of the concept of work from its earliest stages and shows that its further formalization leads to equilibrium principle and to the principle of virtual works, and so pointing the way ahead for future research and applications. The idea that something remains constant in a machine operation is very old and has been expressed by many mathematicians and philosophers such as, for instance, Aristotle. …”

“…Perhaps paradoxical to some, both disciplines are concerned with describing the world around us, understanding its parts, and using this knowledge to create something profound. World-renowned mathematician and Fields Medallist Cedric Villani explores this analogy in this engaging and intelligent text, and shows how mathematics, one of the world's few universal languages, holds deep similarities to the literary genre. …”

“…For example, to think of an event is to think of something in time. A formulation of physics based of intuitionism, a constructive form of mathematics built on time-evolving processes, would offer a perspective that is closer to our experience of physical reality and may help bridging the gap between static relativity and quantum indeterminism.…”

“…The European Organization for Nuclear Research, Established in Geneva, decided in February 1971 to build such an accelerator at a cost of 1150 million Swiss francs over an 8-year period. In something over three years the number of persons directly or indirectly employed by this organization (CERN) has risen to around 4700, including around 80 from the Swedish universities of Gothernburg, Lund, and Stockholm, and from research establishments in Uppsala and Studsvik. …”

“…Bjorken made to the effect that the only thing we understand in this field is kinematics - that was theorist speaking - and now I want to prove to you that the experimenters do not even understand that, because it is historically true that every experimenter who arrives on the scene in inelastic electron scattering prefers to invent his own notation to describe something which was probably described rather well by Weisacker and Williams in 1930, and can be found in the book by Panofsky on Electricity and Magnetism. …”
