Neal Stephenson Quotes
If He Would Just Work With Pure Ideas Like A Proper Mathematician He Could Go As Fast As Thought. As It Happens, Alan Has Become Fascinated By The Incarnations Of Pure Ideas In The Physical World. The Underlying Math Of The Universe Is Like The Light Streaming In Through The Window. Alan Is Not Satisfied With Merely Knowing That It Streams In. He Blows Smoke Into The Air To Make The Light Visible. He Sits In Meadows Gazing At Pine Cones And Flowers, Tracing The Mathematical Patterns In Their Structure, And He Dreams About Electron Winds Blowing Over The Glowing Filaments And Screens Of Radio Tubes, And, In Their Surges And Eddies, Capturing Something Of What Is Going On In His Own Brain. Turing Is Neither A Mortal Nor A God. He Is Antaeus. That He Bridges The Mathematical And Physical Worlds Is His Strength And His Weakness.
