Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. For, as has been pointed out several times, there is no such thing as a random number - there are only methods to produce random numbers, and a strict arithmetic procedure of course is not such a method.

Life is a process which may be abstracted from other media.

There is no point in being precise if you do not even know what you are talking about.

I would like to make a confession which may seem immoral: I do not believe absolutely in Hilbert space any more.

Science, as well as technology, will in the near and in the farther future increasingly turn from problems of intensity, substance, and energy, to problems of structure, organization, information, and control.

You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you tell me precisely what it is a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that.

I am thinking about something much more important than bombs. I am thinking about computers.
