"For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum."

"I entrain myself (when I remember to)by tuning in to higher frequenciesin the ether, in my soul, everywhere I go,always accessible, always helpfulfor obtaining a higher perspectivein a matter of minutes."
"It takes too much energy to be against something unless it's really important."
"Asleep she was a painting of a fire. Awake she was the fire itself."
"We are same energies expressing in different forms!"
"There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash."
"Passion is energy, we all have it within us. It simply needs a means of expression."
"It is your vibrational thoughts that give life to the goals you wish for."

"Intensity like signal strength will generally fall off with distance from the source, although it also depends on the local conditions and the pathway from the source to the point."
"By moving them vertically, a representative mean curve could be formed, and individual events were then characterized by individual logarithmic differences from the standard curve."
"If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used."
"I repeatedly have to correct this belief. In a sense, magnitude involves steps of 10 because every increase of one magnitude represents a tenfold amplification of the ground motion. But there is no 'scale of 10' in the sense of an upper limit."
"From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions."
"Refining is inevitable in science when you have made measurements of a phenomenon for a long period of time."
"If one introduces the concept of energy of an earthquake then that is a theoretically derived quantity."
"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."
"There is another common misapprehension that the magnitude scale is itself some kind of instrument or apparatus. Visitors will frequently ask to 'see the scale.'"
