But Einstein used an ingenious argument, showing that the behavior of small particles randomly moving around in a liquid, known as Brownian motion, could be precisely predicted by the collisions of millions of invisible atoms.
These heavy particles are only produced, for very brief moments, in high energy collisions, and are not seen in everyday life.
To observe the W and Z directly, we needed the high energy collisions provided by particle accelerators.
Matter and antimatter particles are produced in pairs in high-energy collisions, and they annihilate each other when they meet.
LIGO and VIRGO are being upgraded to detect more collisions.
And talk about that intensity in terms of the collisions of the kind of events they make that have to do with putting a series of systems together, and then where part of it is in the ground, part of it is oppositional lifts.
Quantum states are incredibly fragile, easily destroyed by temperature and pressure fluctuations, stray electromagnetic fields, and collisions with nearby particles.
With gentle collisions they won’t fragment, but if the repulsion is too strong, they’ll never grow.
Ultimately, the seeds of everything familiar– the size of our planet, its position within the solar system, and its elemental composition– were determined by an uncountably large series of random collisions.
The kinds of collisions of styles and things were quite something, and these are called the villas.
These little green peaks are asteroid collisions.
This is the kind of chaotic environment where ideas were likely to come together, where people were likely to have new, interesting, unpredictable collisions, people from different backgrounds.
After four collisions it ceases to have any impact, if you'll excuse the pun.
Even if some of the incidents could be regarded as comical (for example, the butler's frequent collisions with a tiger's head on the floor), their very repetitiousness engenders tedium.
Doing so will risk accidental collisions and confrontations.
Renault and Nissan are currently working on complementary technologies that can predict, detect, and prevent collisions.
By smashing protons together with unprecedented energy, monitoring the many particles that emerge from the collisions, and reconstructing the primary events that produced them, physicists will in effect have constructed the fastest, highest-resolution microscope ever, with each proton taking a snapshot of the other’s interior.
From 2010 to 2012, the LHC produced the highest-energy proton-proton collisions ever; and even higher-energy collisions are anticipated in 2015.
In contrast, a driverless car has detectors capable of sensing obstacles that could collide with it, and of taking action to avoid such collisions, but there is nothing that it is like to be that car.
The Chinese have come to realize more clearly that we were not deliberately attempting to isolate them, but that we had a stake in the avoidance of collisions in the Far East that could produce a wider spillover.
AI is the central component in self-driving cars – which can now avoid collisions and traffic congestion – and in game-playing systems like Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo, a computer that beat South Korean Go master Lee Sedol in a five-game match earlier this year.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service, for example, uses a GPS tracking system to alert boaters on Florida’s inland waterways to potential collisions with manatees.
The energetic collisions produce all manner of debris, which physicists carefully track with huge detectors and sift with sophisticated computer algorithms.
The same holds true for all of the chaff from the protons’ collisions.
Similarly, in South Africa, 12% of Blue Cranes, South Africa’s national bird, and 30% of Ludwig’s bustards are dying annually in collisions with a growing number of power lines.
Particle physicists observe these collisions, in an effort to learn what matter is made of and what holds it together.
Fewer than 200,000 Americans die each year from the vast majority of the country’s leading causes of death, including accidents (169,936), lung disease (160,201), stroke (146,383), Alzheimer’s (121,404), diabetes (83,564), and vehicle collisions (37,000).
Within a couple of years, the new rule reduced cycling-related traffic fatalities by 35%, while halving collisions requiring hospitalization.
But this did not prevent such collisions recurring quite frequently, and on very unexpected and trivial provocation.
These collisions were often caused by each not realizing what was important to the other, and also by the fact that in those early days they were often in low spirits.
