Jonah Lomu
90

97

121
The predominant theory of the origin of the universe is the Big Bang.
122

Our cultural industries are our biggest export, our biggest manufacturing base. Every pound spent on art education brings disproportionately large returns. It’s the biggest bang for our buck.

149

Brian Schmidt
150
Frank liked me because I went nuts on the piano using feet, head, whatever I could find to bang on the piano.
151
That’s what’s so great, I get to play any character in the world. And I think that’s one of the things that makes doing ‘Comedy Bang Bang’ or other improv podcasts so fun, as well as my own, is that you can really explore a character deeply for a long period of time that is nothing like yourself.
152
As far as the weight is concerned, I feel great whatever it is. I’m going to be in there and I’m going to bang. I feel I’m in great condition.

159

160
Sure, nobody will make a fortune if we figure out why the Big Bang happened. But just about everyone would like to know.
161
We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that’s where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it’s instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.
Janna Levin
162
I wake up in the morning, walk downstairs, and just bang on the piano and write about what’s going on in the world around me.

Science is a victim of its own reductive metaphors: ‘Big Bang,’ ‘selfish gene‘ and so on. Richard Dawkins’ selfish gene fitted with the Thatcherite politics of the time. It should actually be the ‘altruistic gene,’ but he’d never have sold as many books with a title like that.

When we first started ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ I would get incredibly nervous because it’s such a big show and I was just out of graduate school. I’d come in and have this huge responsibility for the one line that everyone hopes will bring down the house.

If the crowd wants me to go out there and bang out – and that’s not something that I do – then they need to go watch somebody else.

There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.

Marissa is one of the fan favorites of ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ for everyone throughout the years.

We saw a big bang in PCs; we saw a big bang in the Internet. I believe the next big bang is going to be even bigger. To be ready for that, we need to set the foundation, and that foundation is SoftBank Vision Fund.

The instrumental stuff is a good challenge, and it keeps my fingers athletically tuned, but I’m totally happy to bang away on some chords, sing some harmonies and play some wailing blues solos after the second chorus.
171
The term ‘steampunk’ itself, now a badge of honor, began as a putdown, a joke. But like ‘Big Bang’ in cosmology, the diss became the standard.
172
Americans might not understand, but within Korea, Big Bang was one of the first artists to make their own production. We have our own interpretation of our own songs. We do our own thing.

‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ was a movie that I repeatedly turned down. The movie’s producer, Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli, known for his tight-fisted control of the James Bond movie franchise, desperately wanted to re-team Julie Andrews and me after the success we’d enjoyed with ‘Mary Poppins.’

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

Don’t get me wrong – I love books! I just think a video has a bigger bang when it comes to a good, old-fashioned adrenaline rush.

The panther is sleek. The panther is sneaky. The panther is covert. Meanwhile, the gorilla will show up and bang on his chest and make noises to warn you about what is about to happen if you continue to cross the line.

We just believe when you have parental involvement, we are going to get a better bang for the buck, so to speak. And we also encourage parents to speak with their young people about the importance of safe driving. And also remind them, too, they cannot be distracted.

From Roger Bacon, the 13th century Franciscan who pioneered the scientific method, to George Lemaitre, the 20th century Belgian priest who first developed a mathematical foundation for the ‘Big Bang,’ people of faith have played a key role in advancing scientific understanding.

There are many ways to manipulate chip cards. For example, a number of years ago when American Express issued the first chip card, criminals would take a small hammer with a little device and bang the chip to destroy it without hurting the physical appearance of the card.
180
People bang on all the time about whether what I’ve done is the truth or not. Well, to me, history is just a series of elaborate fictions.
181
Ghazal singing will come back with a bang.

Let’s bang the gong and chime for more Asian superheroes. The gatekeepers can certainly open the door – there’s a wealth of East Asian talent around, and that needs to be tapped into.

Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity?
184
The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C – not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.

There is a deep camaraderie of insecurity between us actors. You rehash choices you’ve made among those who are close to you and inevitably bang your head against the wall when you finally figure out the scene… a day after you shot it!
