{"quotes":[{"text":"In the years since man unlocked the power stored up within the atom, the world has made progress, halting, but effective, toward bringing that power under human control. The challenge may be our salvation. As we begin to master the destructive potentialities of modern science, we move toward a new era in which science can fulfill its creative promise and help bring into existence the happiest society the world has ever known.","author":"John F.

Atoms first assembled in the cores of long-dead stars. Atoms within you, everywhere, disintegrating in radioactive decays. Beneath your feet, the floor - whose electrons refuse to let yours pass, thus making you able to stand and walk and run. Earth, your planet, a lump of matter made out of the three quantum fields known to mankind, held together by gravity, the so-called fourth force (even though it isn't a force), floating within and through spacetime.","author":"Christophe Galfard","tags":["air","assembled","atom","atoms","cores","dead","decay","disintegration","earth","electrons","floor","force","gravity","mankind","matter","planet","quantum","quantum-fields","radioactive","radioactive-decay","run","spacetime","stand","stars","walk"],"id":172412,"author_id":"Christophe+Galfard"},{"text":"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking.

I do believe we've known each other since forever, though.Sofi: Really?Ian: Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.","author":"I Origin","tags":["atom","love","universe"],"id":190304,"author_id":"I+Origin"},{"text":"I found God, he lives in an atom.","author":"Debasish Mridha","tags":["atom","debasish-mridha","debasish-mridha-m-d","god","i-found-god","inspirational","philosophy","quotes"],"id":194656,"author_id":"Debasish+Mridha"},{"text":"What happens when the hitcher and the driver are equally murderous?","author":"Steve Aylett","tags":["atom","dark","humor"],"id":228282,"author_id":"Steve+Aylett"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":26,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
