The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!

From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade.

If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!

The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things

Any schemes - such as 'think of symmetry laws', or 'put the information in mathematical form', or 'guess equations'- are known to everybody now, and they are all tried all the time. When you are stuck, the answer cannot be one of these, because you will have tried these right away...The next scheme, the new discovery, is going to be made in a completely different way.
