Quote of the Day

This one comes from Frank Wilczek in his "Reference Frame" in the November 2006 issue of Physics Today:

"Children, Aristotle, the authors of the Bible, and the designers of Super Mario Brothers, among many others, imagine such worlds for us (in some cases, while mistakenly thinking they are describing our world)."


By the way, "such worlds" refers to "worlds where behavior is governed by something other than elegant mathematical laws."
