Quote of the Day

I am reading an obituary for Vladimir Arnold from the December 2010 issue of Physics Today. This article includes an absolutely awesome quote by Arnold with which I wholeheartedly agree: "Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap."

Comment: Amen.

About Me

You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop.
