The Connection Machines owned by the United States government laboratories were made available to me because they were considered impossible to program and there was no great demand for them at that time.

The greatest grand challenge for any scientist is discovering how to prevent the spread of HIV and finding the cure or an effective vaccine for AIDS.

Because I am not formally trained in the medical sciences, I can bring in new ideas to AIDS research and the cross-fertilization of ideas from different fields could be a valuable contribution to finding the cure for AIDS.

Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.

I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature.

Scientists try to discover or unravel the mysteries of nature. Some of the problems we are trying to solve have been solved in nature.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.
