If I could put your body in an imaginary atomic press and squeeze you down, squeeze these holes out of you in the way we squeeze the holes out of a sponge, you would get smaller and smaller until finally when the last hole was gone, you would be smaller than the smallest speck of dust that you could see on this piece of paper.

If the crystal were of any reasonable size, the number of electrons ( or holes ) required to be injected would have to be very large, making it less than useful as an amplifier because it would require a large injection current to start with.

If these holes are left in the emulsion, the ink will continue through and leave unwanted marks.

If the holes bored into the thwarts are indeed meant to accommodate a dummy crew, the crew seating would have been arranged with two men per bench amidships, and one man per bench fore and aft where the ship narrows so that there is only room for one man.

If a pilot looked across the cockpit towards the other pilot's display monitors, he saw distortions or even " black holes " because his viewing angle was outside the viewing volume established for the display units concerned.

If the carriers are holes, replace electron density n by the negative of the hole density p.

If the speeds are not matched, the dog teeth on the collar will " crash " or grate as they attempt to fit into the holes on the desired gear.

If you blow up an icosahedron by moving the faces away from the origin the right amount, without changing the orientation or size of the faces, and do the same to its dual dodecahedron, and patch the square holes in the result, you get a rhombicosidodecahedron.

If there is a node for each possible ID, the successor of node 2 is node 3, and the predecessor of node 1 is node 0 ; however, normally there are holes in the sequence.

If black holes carried no entropy, it would be possible to violate the second law by throwing mass into the black hole.

If one only considers black holes classically, then they have zero temperature and, by the no hair theorem, zero entropy, and the laws of black hole mechanics remain an analogy.

If it is, then many things that we would normally consider to be demonstrably impossible can be logically possible: for example, that travel might be possible at speeds faster-than-light or that escape from black holes is not impossible.

If some versions of string theory are correct, then high-energy cosmic rays could create black holes when they collide with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere.

If it were not for an old professor who made me read the classics I would have been stymied on what to do, and now I understand why they are classics ; ;

If I even hint at it do you think it will matter that you are his nephew -- and not even a blood nephew ''??

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If Daddy's books are out of bounds his own picture books are not.

If it will simply delay the debates until the qualifications are closed next spring, and then carry all the candidates on a tour of debates, it can provide a service to the state.

If the raw population figures are crucially relevant, then it is idle to think of liberation, as idle as to suppose that Poland might liberate Russia.
