When we consider the fact that nearly three-quarters of the surface of the globe is covered by oceanic water, we begin to realise that the molecular scattering of light in liquids may possess an astronomical significance, in fact contribute in an important degree to the observed albedo of the earth.

To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.

The fundamental importance of the subject of molecular diffraction came first to be recognized through the theoretical work of the late Lord Rayleigh on the blue light of the sky, which he showed to be the result of the scattering of sunlight by the gases of the atmosphere.

In Philadelphia, they said three-quarters of the world is covered by water and the other quarter is covered by Garry Maddox. Every time you looked up, [Sullivan] was in the gap catching a ball, running into a wall, he was on the bases, scoring runs and doing things he's capable of doing when he plays within his skills.

The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.
