Magnitudes

Corporate sales are now plummeting in magnitudes, a reality the labels are blaming on people who share music with each other online. ❋ Unknown (2009)

We admit, in geometry, not only infinite magnitudes, that is to say, magnitudes greater than any assignable magnitude, but infinite magnitudes infinitely greater, the one than the other. ❋ Unknown (2007)

George Crabb in 1823 defined co-ordinates now dropping its hyphen as “a term applied to the absciss and ordinates when taken in connexion,” later better known as the magnitudes that determine the position of a point; geographers and navigators still later used coordinates to describe the use of longitude and latitude in locating a spot on the globe. ❋ William Safire (2004)

Tests on it had given some ideas of the field produced at the generator's center, but their magnitudes were a matter of conjecture. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1956)

By this transformation of all questions of quality into questions only of quantity, geometry is reduced to the single problem of the measurement of magnitudes, that is, the ascertainment of the equalities which exist between them. ❋ John Stuart Mill (1839)

These are not properties of language, or of signs as such, but of magnitudes, which is as much as to say, of all things. ❋ John Stuart Mill (1839)

The ancient Greek astronomers divided the stars according to their brightness into six classes, or six "magnitudes," to use the modern technical term. ❋ Unknown (1889)

Stars of all magnitudes were subsequently sought by theaters to attract audiences. ❋ Leslie Dunton-Downer (2010)

For those not meeting their targets, the magnitudes of the deficits are typically small. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I am not an economist, but it sounds to me like this is a specific example of different magnitudes of transaction costs (if that is the correct term). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Not to mention it will be magnitudes more exciting. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In recent years, researchers - thanks to technological advances - have found such interesting correlations for earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 5.5 on the Richter scale and at depths of less than 50 kilometers. ❋ Unknown (2011)

We did it for about 100 earthquakes in Japan and Taiwan and the most powerful with the biggest magnitudes, of course, he said. ❋ Unknown (2011)

There are magnitudes of suffering that cannot be held in the mind. ❋ Sam Sacks (2011)

If X is better in attributes A, D, and F by certain varying magnitudes and person Y is better and B, C, and E by certain varying magnitudes, we have no non-arbitrary means of giving weight to and aggregating these attributes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

But it is orders of magnitudes more significant when you talk about a single individual determining how others will be employed. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"I think [we would] like it to be more reliable," Katz-Bassett said. "It's orders of magnitude less reliable than [the telephone] network right now. I think it should be pretty possible to get it closer." (From a [Yahoo]! news report) ❋ Sayasan (2008)

By [order of magnitude analysis], [the scale] of an atom is a 1 billion-billion-billion-billionth the scale of the [observable universe]. So, quite frankly my dear, we astrophysicists don't give a damn! ❋ LoneVVulf (2020)

The term magnitude is often used to measure the greatness of an earthquake, [tsunami], [supernova] or a [lit party]. ❋ Mariakul (2022)
