Thought my two favorite math majors would enjoy this. It reminds me of something each of you once told me... God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world. (Technically, I think that exact quote was Dirac, but y’all remember our conversations. Math is damn everywhere.) Or something like that. Miss you, love you…And see you sometime soon, it would seem? There is no God and Dirac is his prophet. gradlectures.berkeley.edu/series/foerster/ The spiritual world is one single spirit who stands like unto a light behind the bodily world and who, when any single creature comes into being, shines through it as through a window. According to the kind and size of the window less or more light enters the world. The light itself however remains unchanged. Physical theory in its present state strongly suggests the indestructibility of Mind by Time.” —Erwin Schrödinger (1933 Nobel Prize in Physics) If we wish to give philosophic expression to the profound connection between thought and action in all fields of human endeavor, particularly in science, we shall undoubtedly have to seek its sources in the unfathomable depths of the human soul. Perhaps philosophers might call it ‘love in a very general sense–that force which directs all our actions, which is the source of all our delights and all our pursuits. Indissolubly linked with thought and with action, love is their common mainspring, hence, their common bond. The engineers of the future will have an essential part to play in cementing this bond. --Louis de Broglie To summarize, I would use the words of Jeans, who said that The Great Architect seems to be a mathematician. To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. —Richard Feynman (1965 Nobel Prize in Physics) inside.mines.edu/~dwu/classes/CH351/general/feynman_quote.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel%27s_Horn turingchurch/2012/01/02/quantum-archaeology/ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreasonable_Effectiveness_of_Mathematics_in_the_Natural_Sciences en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_eyeball en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana https://youtube/watch?v=jremlZvNDuk
