100 Metres Quotes

Equality of opportunity is not enough. Unless we create an environment where everyone is guaranteed some minimum capabilities through some guarantee of minimum income, education, and healthcare, we cannot say that we have fair competition. When some people have to run a 100 metre race with sandbags on their legs, the fact that no one is allowed to have a head start does not make the race fair. Equality of opportunity is absolutely necessary but not sufficient in building a genuinely fair and efficient society.

We have roughly 100 trillion cells in our bodies and inside each of them are two metres of DNA – if you unravelled them all, they’d stretch to the sun and back a hundred times.

It goes something like this: I am one person among 6.5 billion people on Earth at the moment. That's one person among 6,500,000,000 people. That'a lot of Wembley Stadiums full of people, and even more double-decker buses (apparently the standard British measurements for size). And we live on an Earth that is spinning at 67,000 miles an hour through space around a sun that is the centre of our solar system (and our solar system is spinning around the centre of the Milky Way at 530,000 mph). Just our solar system (which is a tiny speck within the entire universe) is very big indeed. If Earth was a peppercorn and Jupiter was a chestnut (the standard American measurements), you'd have to place them 100 metres apart to get a sense of the real distance between us. And this universe is only one of many. In fact, the chances are that there are many, many more populated Earths - just like ours - in other universes. And that's just space. Have a look at time, too. If you're in for a good run, you may spend 85 years on this Earth. Man has been around for 100,000 years, so you're going to spend just 0.00085 percent of man's history living on this Earth. And Man's stay on Earth has been very short in the context of the life of the Earth (which is 4.5 billion years old): if the Earth had been around for the equivalent of a day (with the Big Bang kicking it all off at midnight), humans didn't turn up until 11.59.58 p.m. That means we've only been around for the last two seconds. A lifetime is gone in a flash. There are relatively few people on this Earth that were here 100 years ago. Just as you'll be gone (relatively) soon. So, with just the briefest look at the spatial and temporal context of our lives, we are utterly insignificant. As the Perspective Machine lifts up so far above the woods that we forget what the word means, we see just one moving light. It is beautiful. A small, gently glowing light. It is a firefly lost somewhere in the cosmos. And a firefly - on Earth - lives for just one night. It glows beautifully, then goes out. And up there so high in our Perspective Machine we realize that our lives are really just like that of the firefly. Except the air is full of 6.5 billion fireflies. They're glowing beautifully for one night. Then they are gone. So, Fuck It, you might as well REALLY glow.

If you want to enjoy something,’ he said later, ‘run 100 metres.235 If you want to experience something, run a marathon.’ These are the words of a man who knows what it really costs to keep going for 26.2 miles.

De Villiers was shortlisted for the South African national hockey squad,’ the article says. True or false? False. In truth, I played hockey for one year at high school and was a member of the Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool Under-16A team that beat our near neighbours and rivals at Pretoria Boys’ High for the first time, but I was never shortlisted for the national hockey squad, or ever came remotely close to that level. ‘De Villiers was shortlisted for the South African national football squad,’ the article says. True or false? False. I have never played any organised football (soccer). We used to kick a ball around during break at school and the game has become part of the Proteas’ warm-up routine. That is all. ‘De Villiers was the captain of South Africa junior rugby,’ the article says. True or false? False. I played rugby at primary school and high school, and enjoyed every minute, but I never represented South Africa at any level, either at SA Schools or SA Under-20, and was never captain. ‘De Villiers is still the holder of six national school swimming records,’ the article says. True or false? False. As far as I recall, I did set an Under-9 breaststroke record at Warmbaths Primary School but I have never held any national school swimming records, not even for a day. ‘De Villiers has the record fastest 100 metres time among South African junior sprinters,’ the article says. True or false? False. I did not sprint at all at school. Elsewhere on the Internet, to my embarrassment, there are articles in which the great sprinter Usain Bolt is asked which cricketer could beat him in a sprint and he replies ‘AB de Villiers’. Maybe, just maybe, I would beat him if I were riding a motorbike. ‘De Villiers was a member of the national junior Davis Cup tennis team,’ the article says. True or false? Almost true. As far as I know, there was no such entity as the national junior Davis Cup team, but I did play tennis as a youngster, loved the game and was occasionally ranked as the national No. 1 in my age group. ‘De Villiers was a national Under-19 badminton

Herkesin içinde karanlık bir taraf vardır. Herkes mutlak gücün tadını almayı ister. Ellerine güç geçtiğinde içlerine gizemli bir canavar girmiş gibi başkalarına acı çektiren kişiler akşam eve döndüklerinde tatlı babalara, yurtsever vatandaşlara, mükemmel kocalara dönüşürler.” “Kediden korktuğu için kederlenen bir farecik varmış. Büyük bir büyücü fareciğe acımış ve onu kediye dönüştürmüş. Ama hayvan bu sefer de köpekten korkmaya başlayınca büyücü onu köpeğe dönüştürmüş. Bu sefer de kaplandan korkmuş. Büyücü gayet sabırlı bir biçimde gücünü kullanıp onu kaplana çevirmiş. Ama bu sefer de avcıdan korkmaya başlamış. Büyücü sonunda pes etmiş ve hayvanı yeniden fareye dönüştürüp şöyle demiş: Sana ne yapsam yardımcı olamam çünkü sen büyüdüğünü hiç anlamadın. En iyisi ilk halinle kalman.” “İçimizdeki canavar saklandığı yerden çıkmasın diye her an kendimizi kontrol ederek yaşıyoruz. Kendi arzuladığımız kişi değiliz. Toplumun talep ettiği kişiyiz. Anne babamızın istediği kişiyiz. Kimseyi hayal kırıklığına uğratmak istemeyiz, sevilmeye çok ihtiyacımız vardır. İşte bu yüzden en iyi yönlerimizi bastırırız. Rüyalarımızın ışığı olarak gördüğümüz şey yavaş yavaş kabuslarımızın canavarına dönüşür. Gerçekleştiremediğimiz şeyler, yaşamadığımız olasılıklardır bunlar.” “Kötü tarafımız serbest bırakıldığında bütün iyi yönlerimizi gölgede bırakır.” “Tricoteuse: Fransız devrimindeki örgücü kadınlar. Korku krallığı kurulduğunda erkenden giyotinin kurulduğu meydana gidip en önde yerlerini alıp ve örgü örerek idamın başlamasını beklerlermiş. Büyük ihtimalle onlarda günün geri kalanında çocukları ve kocalarıyla ilgilenen annelerdi.” “Cenevre şehrin eski surlarının önünde, 100 metre genişliğinde, üzerinde etrafı küçük heykellerle çevrili dört adamın heybetli heykellerinin bulunduğu bir anıt. Heykellerden biri, başında şapkası, sakalları uzun, elinde o zamanlar makineli tüfekten daha güçlübir silah olan İncil’i tutuyor. Kendisinin ilahi gerçek bellediği fikirleri hayata geçiriş şekl,i dolayısıyla Usame bin Ladin’in sapkın zihnine denk görüyorum. İkisinin de amacı aynıydı. Tanrı’dan geldiğine inandıkları kanunları çiğneyen herkesin cezalandırıldığı bir teokrasi devleti kurmak. Bu adamın ismi Jean Calvin’di ve operasyonlarını Cenevre’de yürütüyordu. Ölüme mahkum edilen yüzlerce kişinin idamı biraz ötemizde gerçekleştiriliyordu. Sadece dinlerinden dönmeme cüretini gösteren Katolikler değil, hakikate ulaşmayı ve hastalıklara deva bulmayı amaçladıklarından İncil’i kelimesi kelimesine yorumlayanlara meydan okuyan alimler de. Alimlerin en ünlüsüyse akciğer dolaşımını keşfeden ve bu yüzden yakılarak idam edilen Miguel Serveto’ydu. Yıkım ve ölüm Cenevre ile de sınırlı kalmadı, bütün Avrupa’ya yaydılar. 1566 yılında Hollanda ‘da çok sayıda kilise yıkıldı ve asiler yani farlı inançlara sahip insanlar öldürüldü. Putperestlik bahanesiyle sayısız sanat eseri yakıldı. Dünyanın tarihi ve mirasının bir kısmı yok edildi yada ebediyen kayıplara karıştı. Kalvinizm tarikatının doğuşu. Tarihi kazananlar yazdığından artık Calvin’in gaddarlıklarını kimse hatırlamaz. Günümüzde bizleri Katoliklerin melekler, azizler, bakireler, altınlar, gümüşler, endüljanslar ve ahlaksızlıklar üzerine kurulu sapkınlıklarından kurtaran büyük bir ıslahatçı, ruhları şifaya kavuşturan bir tabip gibi görülür.” “Kadınlar sözcüklerle ifade edilmeyen bir lisanı anlama konusunda erkeklerden üstündürler.” “Hayatta her şey emek ister. İnanmaktan vazgeçmemek gerekir. İşte bunun için önyargının duvarlarını yıkmalıyız ve bu yürek ister. Yürek sahibi olabilmek için korkuya hakim olmak gerekir. Böyle uzar gider. Hayatımızla barışık olmalıyız. Hayatla aynı tarafta olduğumuzu unutmamalıyız. Hayat da iyileşmek ister. Ona yardım etmeliyiz.” “İnsan sevince her şeye hazırlıklı olmalıdır.Sevgi, çocukluğumuzdaki çiçek dürbünlerine benzer. Sürekli hareket halindedir ve asla kendini tekrar etmez. Sevginin sadece bizleri mutlu etmek için var olduğunu anlamayan insanlar ebediyen acı çekmeye mahkumdur.

The Amazon is not a normal river, like the Thames, for instance - it is the focal point of a huge sheet of water that surges through the forest when the waters are high. This deluge can be more than 100km wide in places; it is the same distance as London to Paris at its mouth where it gushes out at over 200,000 cubic metres per second in to the Atlantic Ocean

It’s estimated that every cell in your body suffers up to 100,000 assaults on its genetic code every day. On top of that, every time a cell divides this entire genetic code has to be duplicated. Thanks to the incomprehensible number of cells in your body and their fast rate of turnover, over your lifetime you’ll produce a couple of light years of DNA – enough to stretch halfway to the nearest star – in the form of ten quadrillion near-perfect copies of your two-metre personal genome. Even the highest-fidelity copying and proof-reading systems nature can devise will make occasional mistakes given that job spec.

Hi, I spend a lot of time in Poland. Far too much time. One factor has an overwhelming negative influence on my experience here. No one ever smiles. Everyone has a long face and seems to be constantly miserable. You see it everywhere, on the buses and trams, even on the streets of this wonderful, bustling city of Warsaw. Going back to the UK, I can now spot a Pole from about 100metres. (Happens about every 3.5 seconds, there are so many of the buggers here). They don't need to open their mouth. It's just the way they walk, their posture, how they 'hold themselves'. Unless they're drunk, or getting married (or both), they're all uniformly miserable...

Himalayalar'da 7200 metreden yüksek olan 100'den fazla dağ bulunur. 8848 metre yükseklikle Everest Dağı bu dağların en uzunudur.

Günümüzden 2500 yıl kadar önce yerin yaklaşık 100 metre altına inerek 5000 km boyunda son derece ileri özelliklerde, devasa bir yeraltı tüneli inşa edebilen bir toplumu "MS 8. yıllara kadar göçebe yaşadılar, at binip kılıç sallamaktan başka hiçbir kalıcı uygarlık eseri yaratmadılar" diye suçlamak, kelimenin tam anlamıyla "insafsızlıktır".

İki Avustralyalı gezgin 1912’de Çin’in Xi’an eyaletine yaptıkları bir gezide burada Mısır Piramitlerine benze büyük bir piramit keşfetmişlerdir. Daha sonra 1945 yılında, 2. Dünya Savaşı sırasında Çin’e yardım malzemesi götüren bir C-54 uçağından Çin’in Xi’an şehrinin 100 km güneybatısındaki bu büyük piramit fark edilmiş ve ilk kez fotoğrafı çekilmiştir. Bu esrarengiz piramide “Beyaz Piramit” adı verilmiştir. BEYAZ PİRAMİT’in bu ilk fotoğrafı 1957 yılında Life dergisinde yayınlanmıştır. …. 5000 yıllık Çin metinlerinde bu piramitten söz edilmektedir. Ön-Türk araştırmacısı Kazım Mirşan, bu piramitlerin MÖ 7000’lerde dikildiğini iddia etmektedir. …. Beyaz Pirramit konusunda çalışmalar yapan Ön-Türk araştırmacısı Haluk Tarcan, bu uygarlık harikası hakkında şu bilgileri vermektedir: “… Bu piramidin yüksekliğinin 300 metre olmasını hayretle karşıladım ve New York’ta öğrencim Levent Alaybeyoğlu’ndan tamamlayıcı bilgi rica ettim. Piramit gerçekten 300 metre yüksekliğindedir. Yani Eyfel Kulesi yüksekliğine varan bir tepe halindedir. Hausdof’un verdiği bilgiye göre tarih MÖ 2500’ler olacaktır. Çin’de Ön-Türkler MÖ 3000’lerde devlet kurmuş olup Çin tarihi MÖ 1700’lerde başladığına göre bu piramidin ve etrafındakilerin Ön-Türklerce yapılmış olmaları gerekmektedir.” … Mısır’daki firavunlar dönemiyle neredeyse çağdaş sayılabilecek zamanlarda (MÖ2852-2206) arasında Çin’de yarı mitolojik “Beş Kral” hüküm sürmüştü. Çin bu dönemde altın ve yeşim zengini, gelişmiş bir uygarlıktı; ipek ve gıda bolluğu içindeydi. Bununla birlikte, İskenderiye’nin büyük kütüphanesinin kaderini takiben, İmparator Chin Shin Huang MÖ2012’de kadim Çin’le ilgili bütün kitapların ve edebi eserlerin yakılmasını emretmişti. Büyük kraliyet kütüphanesi de dâhil bütün kütüphaneler yok edilmiş ancak bazı metinler mağaralarda ve manastırlarda saklanmıştı. …. Peki, ama Çinli İmparator neden bütün tarihi eve edebi eserleri yok etme kararı almıştı? İmparatorun gelecek nesillerden saklamak istediği neydi? …. Çinli yetkililer Xi’an’daki piramitleri dünyadan saklayabilmek için piramitlerin üzerlerine sürekli yeşil kalan ağaçlar dikmişlerdir. Böylece yıllar sonra üzeri ormanla kaplı tepeciklere dönüşecek olan bu uygarlık şaheserleri belki yüz yıl daha insanlığın bilgisinden uzak tutulacaktır. Peki, ama neden? Neden Çin Xİ’an piramitlerini saklamaktadır. Neden Çin bu uygarlık şaheserlerini dünyaya tanıtmamaktadır. Eğer bu piramitler Çinlilere ait olsaydı, Çinliler kendi uygarlıklarının derinliğini dünyaya anlatabilmek ve bölgeye daha fazla turist çekebilmek için, bırakın üzerlerine ağaç dikmeyi, her piramidin her taşını tek tek parlatır, bu şaheserleri dünyanın beğenisine sunarlardı. Ama bugün bu bölgeler Çin’in yasak bölgeleridir. Sayfa: 270-273

The mildly venomous colubrid Chrysopelea is the flying snake of south-eastern Asia. It is up to about 1.2 metres in length, and has several arboreal adaptations, such as ridged ventral scales, and a flattened belly. However, it has taken arboreal existence even further, for it is capable of gliding through the air from tree to tree for distances as much as 100 m. When ready to launch itself, the snake extends its ribs forwards and outwards. This doubles the width and surface area of the underside, and creates an aerodynamic shape like the wing of an aeroplane. As it throws itself forwards into the air, undulations of the body apparently make it an even more efficient glider, although we are not sure exactly how.

The 100-metre sprint superstar Usain Bolt has, on many occasions, taken naps in the hours before breaking the world record, and before Olympic finals in which he won gold. Our own studies support his wisdom: daytime naps that contain sufficient numbers of sleep spindles also offer significant motor skill memory improvement, together with a restoring benefit on perceived energy levels and reduced muscle fatigue.

2001 when they published a scientific paper that modelled the future collapse of the Cumbre Vieja and the passage of the resulting tsunamis across the Atlantic. Within two minutes of the landslide entering the sea, Ward and Day show that –for a worst case scenario involving the collapse of 500 cubic kilometres of rock –an initial dome of water an almost unbelievable 900 metres high will be generated, although its height will rapidly diminish. Over the next 45 minutes a series of gigantic waves up to 100 metres high will pound the shores of the Canary Islands, obliterating the densely inhabited coastal strips, before crashing onto the African mainland. As the waves head further north they will start to break down, but Spain and the UK will still be battered by tsunamis up to 7 metres high. Meanwhile, to the west of La Palma, a great train of prodigious waves will streak towards the Americas. Barely six hours after the landslide, waves tens of metres high will inundate the north coast of Brazil, and a few hours later pour across the low-lying islands of the Caribbean and impact all down the east coast of the United States. Focusing effects in bays, estuaries, and harbours may increase wave heights to 50 metres or more as Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, and Miami bear the full brunt of Vulcan and Neptune’s combined assault. The destructive power of these skyscraper-high waves cannot be underestimated. Unlike the wind-driven waves that crash every day onto beaches around the world, and which have wavelengths (wave crest to wave crest) of a few tens of metres, tsunamis have wavelengths that are typically hundreds of kilometres long. This means that once a tsunami hits the coast as a towering, solid wall of water, it just keeps coming –perhaps for ten or fifteen minutes or more –before taking the same length of time to withdraw. Under such a terrible onslaught all life and all but the most sturdily built structures are obliterated.

But Djoser was king of South Egypt and North Egypt. To keep the people in both parts of the country happy he had to be buried in two different tombs. His body was entombed in the north, and his canopic jars had their own temple 100 metres to the south.
