Here is the real domino theory - gay man to gay man, bisexual man to straight woman, addict mother to newborn baby, they all fall down and someday it will come to you. ~ Anna Quindlen

My worlds collide. When one things happens, it just starts a domino effect - everything else goes on. ~ Wanda Sykes

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill, ~ Fats Domino

Got the domino effect In the front row passin out ~ Nicki Minaj

Sometimes, all it takes is your smile (even if forced) & a domino effect of smiles happen ... infectious. ~ Ace Antonio Hall

It became a domino effect, as infected people took foolish risks, knowing full well they could spread the virus. ~ Jason Medina

I traveled all over for about 50 years, I love a lot of places and I've been a lot of places, (but) I just don't care to leave home. ~ Fats Domino

A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B. ~ Fats Domino

Everybody started calling my music rock and roll, but it wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playing down in New Orleans. ~ Fats Domino

Gut?"
"General Unified Theory." Kohler quipped. "The theory of everything. ~ Dan Brown

My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up, so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics, they're the best songs ever. ~ Chris Isaak

Any theory is better than no theory. ~ Fuller Albright

I got thrown out of music school for even listening to Fats Domino and Ray Charles. I was asked, 'What kind of music do you like to listen to?' and I said, 'Well, I do like Paul Hindemith and Igor Stravinsky but I also like Fats Domino and Ray Charles,' and they literally said, 'Either forget about that or leave.' ~ Steve Winwood

Well,' said Hawksmoor. 'It's a theory and a theory can do no harm. ~ Peter Ackroyd

The Theory of Relativity confers an absolute meaning on a magnitude which in classical theory has only a relative significance: the velocity of light. The velocity of light is to the Theory of Relativity as the elementary quantum of action is to the Quantum Theory: it is its absolute core. ~ Max Planck

The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks. How nonphysicists would scoff if they were able to follow the odd course of developments! ~ Albert Einstein

The theory of chaos and theory of fractals are separate, but have very strong intersections. That is one part of chaos theory is geometrically expressed by fractal shapes. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot

Our leading candidate for a theory of everything is known as M-theory. It grew from a merger of the two seemingly different approaches: 11-dimensional supergravity and 10-dimensional superstring theory. Could this be the final theory of everything? ~ New Scientist

Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena. ~ Wilhelm Reich

Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. ~ Alan Guth

One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in the early '70s. ~ Edward Witten

The basic theory in twistor theory is not to add extra dimensions. ~ Roger Penrose

Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments. Experiments must be described in terms of classical physics. ~ Carl Friedrich Von Weizsacker

People ignore facts which contradict the theory in the mind of the investor. Dis-confirming evidence must be seeked out to beat this theory. ~ Manoj Arora

M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find. ~ Stephen Hawking

This theory [the oxygen theory] is not as I have heard it described, that of the French chemists, it is mine (elle est la mienne); it is a property which I claim from my contemporaries and from posterity. ~ Antoine Lavoisier

When the fact doesn't meet the theory then let go the theory. ~ Agatha Christie

There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth. ~ Walt Whitman

Theory is a six-letter dirty word to most musicians, but hey, musicians love dirty words, right? And just like all the other dirty words, theory is easy to learn and fun to use! ~ Ray Harmony

Theory is worth but little, unless it can explain its own phenomena, and it must effect this without contradicting itself; therefore, the facts are sometimes assimilated to the theory, rather than the theory to the facts. ~ Charles Caleb Colton

I would say that, intellectually, Catholicism had no more impact on me than did social theory. ~ Paul Farmer

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory. ~ Virginia Woolf

The revolution which began with the creation of quantum theory and relativity theory can only be finished with their unification into a single theory that can give us a single, comprehensive picture of nature. ~ Lee Smolin

Getting extraordinary results is all about creating a domino effect in your life. ~ Gary Keller

Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time. ~ Linus Torvalds

Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play. ~ Immanuel Kant

If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science. ~ Albert Einstein

Have you ever head this theory about drinking yourself sober?' Eddie asked. 'It's a very popular theory. Amongst drunks, anyway. ~ Robert Rankin

Economists can never be free of from difficulties unless they will distinguish between a theory and the application of a theory. ~ William Stanley Jevons

We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece. ~ Kip Thorne

No scientific theory achieves public acceptance until it has been thoroughly discredited. ~ Douglas Yates

Triangle theory, I just founded it before "I" theory. That all letters are build with triangle, make few crosses and what you got, will be a perfect triangle, diffirent varienties. ~ Deyth Banger

If your political theory requires humanity to "evolve", then you do not have a theory. ~ A.E. Samaan

[Knowledge is governed not by] a theory of knowledge, but by a theory of discursive practice. ~ Michel Foucault

One does not ask whether a scientific theory is true, but only whether it is convenient. ~ Henri Poincare

The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real. ~ Richard P. Feynman

The general point that a political theory is, among other things, a partisan intervention, is well taken. So question about the actual political implication of a theory cannot be excluded as, in principle, irrelevant. ~ Raymond Geuss

No theory changes what it is a theory about; man remains what he has always been. ~ B.F. Skinner

No experimental result can ever kill a theory: any theory can be saved from counterinstances either by some auxiliary hypothesis or by a suitable reinterpretation of its terms. ~ Imre Lakatos

The Domino Effect could stand for anything. It could be just the simple game of the domino rocks falling off one after another, all kinds of decision we make that come back to our face. For example take an anorexic model that stops eating until she dies, or the bombs that a are thrown in a war and the effect they have on people, or even something simple as listening to a record that you like until you get bored of it and leave it in your shelf. ~ Leo Lionni

I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards – Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin. ~ Zooey Deschanel

A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory. ~ Manfred Eigen

Evolution ... is really two theories, the vague theory and the precise theory. The vague theory has been abundantly proved ... The precise theory has never been proved at all. However, like relativity, it is accepted on faith ... On getting down to actual details, difficulties begin. ~ Anthony Standen

Despite its name, the big bang theory is not really a theory of a bang at all. It is really only a theory of the aftermath of a bang. ~ Alan Guth

If you can't think of an observation that could disprove a theory, that theory simply isn't scientific. ~ Jerry A. Coyne

And anyone who thinks they can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy hasn't yet understood the first thing about it. ~ Niels Bohr

When we meet a fact which contradicts a prevailing theory, we must accept the fact and abandon the theory, even when the theory is supported by great names and generally accepted. ~ Claude Bernard

It's like a domino effect. After all the time of neatly putting the pieces together, one wrong move, one moment of distraction, and all of it comes falling down. The same happens to us. While ignoring all those moments that happened, all the situations when we wanted to do something, make a move and let our impulses take over, we put them neatly one behind other and now it comes crashing down around us. ~ Anna B. Doe

Well, gauge theory is very fundamental to our understanding of physical forces these days. But they are also dependent on a mathematical idea, which has been around for longer than gauge theory has. ~ Roger Penrose

When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating. ~ Sam Trammell

There was a sense that the one true theory had been discovered. Nothing else was important or worth thinking about. Seminars devoted to string theory sprang up at many of the major universities and research institutes. At Harvard, the string theory seminar was called the Postmodern Physics seminar.
This appellation was not meant ironically. ~ Lee Smolin

All that was speculation, and a man can get carried away by a reasonable theory. Often a man finds a theory that explains things and he builds atop that theory, finding all the right answers ... only the basic theory is wrong. But that's the last thing he will want to admit. ~ Louis L'Amour

I had two passions when I was a child. First was to learn about Einstein's theory and help to complete his dream of a unified theory of everything. That's my day job. I work in something called string theory. I'm one of the founders of the subject. We hope to complete Einstein's dream of a theory of everything. ~ Michio Kaku

A curious aspect of the theory of evolution is that everybody thinks he understands it. ~ Jacques Monod

A person who wasn't outraged on first hearing about quantum theory didn't understand what had been said. ~ Niels Bohr

Recreational number theory [ ... ] is that part of number theory that is too difficult to study. ~ Hendrik Lenstra

Change the instruments and you will change the entire social theory that goes with them ~ Bruno Latour

If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts. ~ Baruch Spinoza

In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve. ~ Arthur Eddington

They call me Domino for obvious reasons. One nudge in the right direction and I'm flat on my stomach. ~ Charlie Cochrane

I wanted your body in every way possible. But your mind is what tipped that first domino over. ~ Kathryn Perez

I have come to the conclusion that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme ... ~ Karl Popper

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted. ~ Catharine MacKinnon

String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and requires it. ~ Brian Greene

Because both quantum theory and Einstein's theory of gravity are united in ten-dimensional space, we expect that the question of time travel will be settled decisively by the hyperspace theory. As in the case of wormholes and dimensional windows, the final chapter will be written when we incorporate the full power of the hyperspace theory. ~ Michio Kaku

We're the beneficiaries of prayers we know nothing about. God was working long before we arrived on the scene and He's using us to set up the next generation.

We tend to think right here, right now.

God is thinking nations and generations.

We have no idea how our lives are going to alter the course of history downstream, but there is a divine domino effect for every decision we make. Don't underestimate the potential impact of obeying God's prompts. Those are the whispers that will echo for all eternity! ~ Mark Batterson

I am using the word theory as a scientist means it: a set of ideas so well established by observations and physical models that it is essentially indistinguishable from fact. That is different from the colloquial use that means "guess." To a scientist, you can bet your life on a theory. Remember, gravity is "just a theory" too. ~ Philip Plait

There is no scientific theory that could lead us from a detailed map of every single neuron in someone's brain to a conscious experience. We don't even have the beginnings of a theory whose conclusion would be such a system is conscious. ~ Stuart J. Russell

At a purely formal level, one could call probability theory the study of measure spaces with total measure one, but that would be like calling number theory the study of strings of digits which terminate. ~ Terence Tao

I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life. ~ Brian Greene

The Theory of the Paradise is always in transition. ~ Talismanist Giebra

Catastrophe Theory is-quite likely-the first coherent attempt (since Aristotelian logic) to give a theory on analogy. When narrow-minded scientists object to Catastrophe Theory that it gives no more than analogies, or metaphors, they do not realise that they are stating the proper aim of Catastrophe Theory, which is to classify all possible types of analogous situations. ~ Rene Thom

Pizza Hut, and then Pizza Express, before seeking sanctuary in the doorway of a Domino's Pizza. ~ David Walliams

So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are likely to be tested. ~ Edward Witten

It is the theory which decides what we can observe ~ Albert Einstein

It is the theory that decides what can be observed. ~ Albert Einstein

There is nothing so practical as a good theory. ~ Kurt Lewin

There is the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form. This theory can be called the 'general theory of evolution,' and the evidence which supports this is not sufficiently strong to allow us to consider it as anything more than a working hypothesis. ~ Gerald A. Kerkut

We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth. ~ Kenneth R. Miller

One of the big take-aways from a lot of economic theory is that people should engage in consumption smoothing. ~ Emily Oster

A new theory doesn't change the way things actually happen. ~ Marty Rubin

Never accept a fact until it has been verified by theory. ~ Arthur Eddington

The most practical solution is a good theory. ~ Albert Einstein

There is such a difference between life and theory. ~ Anthony Trollope

Nothing is more practical than a good theory. ~ Kurt Lewin

He that travels in theory has no inconveniences. ~ Samuel Johnson

I believe without exception that theory follows practice. Whenever there is a conflict between theory and practice, theory is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, we make theories for what people have done. ~ David Baker

After preliminary work by a number of other distinguished mathematicians and economists, game theory as a systematic theory started with von Neumann and Morgenstern's book, 'Theory of Games and Economic Behavior,' published in 1944. ~ John Harsanyi

Every great master will find it useful to have his own theory on the openings, which only he himself knows, a theory which is closely linked with plans for the middle game. ~ Mikhail Botvinnik

It is the theory which decides what can be observed ~ Albert Einstein
