All Possible Outcomes?

I must say to you that in my case I am asking of Calabi Yau’s, can have some predictability to how universe selection is accomplished and thus any steady development in mathematics pushing that landscape to credibility? This entry is … Continue reading

Oh Dear!… How Technology has Changed Things

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable … Continue reading
