Alan Shepard

We wanted to be in great shape, we wanted to be able to cope with zero gravity, we wanted to be able to cope with accelerations and decelerations and so on. So all of us trained so that we were probably in the best physical condition we had ever been in up until that point.

American Astronaut

Terry Riley

It is important that we are coming up on the millennium because what I am experiencing, just being one person out of billions, is the feeling of acceleration. I experience this through my contact with other people.

American Composer

Charles Francis Richter

As seismologists gained more experience from earthquake records, it became obvious that the problem could not be reduced to a single peak acceleration. In fact, a full frequency of vibrations occurs.

American Scientist

Bill Pullman

We're all part of humanity. And maybe there's something about the worst people, with the most destructive, warped minds, that is just an acceleration of something that is in quite a few of us.

American Actor

David Grinspoon

I don't see it as coincidence that the great acceleration of the Anthropocene influences on Earth came during the same decades as our first exploration of the other planets.

Jaan Tallinn

Building advanced AI is like launching a rocket. The first challenge is to maximize acceleration, but once it starts picking up speed, you also need to focus on steering.

Estonian Businessman

Arjen Robben

Even during a sprint, I can occasionally still accelerate. I am so fit that I can accelerate during a acceleration, like making a new start.

Dutch Athlete

Santiago Calatrava

We're used to thinking of force as a stable phenomenon, but it has a cinematic variable, which is acceleration.

Spanish Architect

Megan Smith

Across our great nation, we've begun to see an acceleration of the power of data to deliver value.

American Public Servant

Usain Bolt

I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.

Jamaican Athlete

Refers to something gaining speed, often used with machines or athletes.

Physical Movement

Expresses admiration when an object or person speeds up quickly.

Impressive Performance

Can indicate slowing down, opposite of speeding up, depending on context.

Negative Usage

Used metaphorically to describe rapid advancement in non-physical contexts.

Quick Progress

Often paired with economic or scientific terms to discuss expansion or escalation.

Growth or Increase

In physics, it's a specific term with units of measurement, not used casually.

Scientific Precision

Acceleration can be constant like gravity or variable like in a roller coaster.

Constant versus Variable

In mechanical engineering, it relates to engines and machinery, not living things.

Technical Context

Refers to adjustments made to increase speed and efficiency of machines.

Enhancing Performance

 scientists studying the outer reaches of the universe confirmed that not only is everything moving apart from everything else, as you would expect in a universe that began in hot, dense big bang, but that the universe's expansion also seems to be accelerating. What's that about? Either there is some kind of energy pushing this acceleration,

Dark matter: The matter...

 they can achieve high speeds and accelerations in very tight spaces. They can also autonomously build tensile structures. Skills learned include how to carry loads, how to cope with disturbances, and in general, how to interact with the physical world. Today we want to show you some new projects that we've been working on.

Meet the dazzling flying...

 Can a machine also perform with extreme physical damage? Conventional wisdom says that you need at least four fixed motor propeller pairs in order to fly, because there are four degrees of freedom to roll, pitch, yaw and acceleration. Hexacopters and octocopters, with six and eight propellers,

The astounding athletic...

 by repositioning your weight. Above you is the wave’s crest, where the water particles are undergoing their greatest acceleration. That forces them to move faster than the underlying wave, so they shoot ahead before falling under gravity’s influence.

 at constant speeds, with straight world lines in space-time. But once you add gravity, if you measure a speed at one moment, then again a bit later, the speed may have changed. In other words, as I discovered, gravity causes acceleration,

Meet Gita, the robot...

 is enough to generate significant acceleration. And unlike the exhaust that pours out of a rocket engine, this stream is much smaller and far more fuel efficient, which makes it better suited for long deep-space missions.

 sequenced the human genome and even escaped Earth's atmosphere. Our speed of innovation has been incredible, but so, too, has the acceleration of our impact. Over my grandmother's lifetime, the last 90 years or so,
