If the moral code were flouted, the proper balance of the universe would be upset, and the disastrous result could be floods, plague, or famine.

If this is true, then the universe today looks just as it did millions of years ago and as it will look millions of years hence, even though the universe is expanding.

If the universe is flat, there must be an additional component making up 73 % ( in addition to the 23 % dark matter and 4 % baryons ) of the energy density of the universe.

* If one refuses to sit down and make a move, one cannot be checkmated ( in relation to Russell's belief about the existence of the universe ).

If an elementary particle truly has no substructure, then it is one of the basic building blocks of the universe from which all other particles are made.

If confirmed, this would imply special relativity is an approximation to a more general theory, but since the relevant comparison would ( by definition ) be outside the observable universe, it is difficult to imagine ( much less construct ) experiments to test this hypothesis.

If this sounds indulgent, it allows simultaneity, absolute space and time and a deterministic universe ( along with decoherence theory ) whilst the status-quo permits time travel / causality paradoxes, subjectivity in the measurement process and multiple universes.

If the entire volume of the observable universe ( taken to be 3 × 10 < sup > 80 </ sup > m < sup > 3 </ sup >) were packed solid with fine dust particles about 1. 5 micrometres in size, then the number of different ways of ordering these particles ( that is, assigning the number 1 to one particle, then the number 2 to another particle, and so on until all particles are numbered ) would be approximately one googolplex.

If the universe is static and populated by an infinite number of stars, any sight line from Earth must end at the ( very bright ) surface of a star, so the night sky should be completely bright.

If the universe is homogeneous at a large scale, then there would be four times as many stars in a second shell between 2, 000, 000, 000 to 2, 000, 000, 001 light years away.

If, on the other hand, the conception taken as the foundation of the system is that the great inclusive unity is the world itself, or the universe, God is swallowed up in that unity, which may be designated nature.

If one adds two whole parts the result is one whole and if one whole is subtracted from another whole the result is another whole-it means there is one whole universe and it is all prevaded by " Him ". Since the universe has come forth from the Divine, all things and beings are sacred and must be treated so in human thought and action.

If God in some sense knows ahead of time what will happen, then events in the universe are effectively predetermined from God's point of view.

If the energy density is positive, the associated negative pressure will drive an accelerated expansion of the universe, as observed.

If this type of energy were to exist, it would cause a big rip in the universe due to the growing energy density of dark energy which would cause the expansion of the universe to increase at a faster-than-exponential rate.

If there are as many monkeys as there are particles in the observable universe ( 10 < sup > 80 </ sup >), and each types 1, 000 keystrokes per second for 100 times the life of the universe ( 10 < sup > 20 </ sup > seconds ), the probability of the monkeys replicating even a short book is nearly zero.

If one assumes that all of the universe consists of protons and neutrons, the density of the universe is such that much of the currently observed deuterium would have been burned into helium-4.

If α were > 0. 1, stellar fusion would be impossible and no place in the universe would be warm enough for life as we know it.

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 it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

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 he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If a litigant chooses to enforce a Federal right in a State court, he cannot be heard to object if he is treated exactly as are plaintiffs who press like claims arising under State law with regard to the form in which the claim must be stated -- the particularity, for instance, with which a cause of action must be described.

If anyone had asked her, she would have described herself only as nervous and worried.

Primo Levi, who described his year in Auschwitz in If This Is a Man, wrote:

If so, they may have originally comprised residual Celtic elements in central eastern Europe such as the Cotini, who formed a Celtic enclave in the Germanic-speaking zone and are described by Tacitus as iron-ore miners working as tributaries of the powerful Quadi Germanic people.

" If this refers to Mordecai, he would have had to live over a century to have witnessed the events described in the Book of Esther.

If the incongruence is immoderate this process may lead the individual to a state that would typically be described as neurotic.

If entangled, one object cannot be fully described without considering the other ( s ).

If fricative, the sound is often impressionistically described as harsh or grating.

If it does, it will develop into a red giant as described for mid-sized stars below, but never fuse helium as they do ; otherwise, it will simply contract until electron degeneracy pressure halts its collapse, becoming first a blue dwarf and then a white dwarf.

If the core of the star is not too massive ( less than approximately 1. 4 solar mass, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time ), it may then form a white dwarf ( possibly surrounded by a planetary nebula ) as described above for less massive stars, with the difference that the white dwarf is composed chiefly of oxygen, neon, and magnesium.

If the transmission line is uniform along its length, then its behaviour is largely described by a single parameter called the characteristic impedance, symbol Z < sub > 0 </ sub >.
