Douglas Adams Quotes

Mathematical Analysis And Computer Modelling Are Revealing To Us That The Shapes And Processes We Encounter In Nature -the Way That Plants Grow, The Way That Mountains Erode Or Rivers Flow, The Way That Snowflakes Or Islands Achieve Their Shapes, The Way That Light Plays On A Surface, The Way The Milk Folds And Spins Into Your Coffee As You Stir It, The Way That Laughter Sweeps Through A Crowd Of People - All These Things In Their Seemingly Magical Complexity Can Be Described By The Interaction Of Mathematical Processes That Are, If Anything, Even More Magical In Their Simplicity. Shapes That We Think Of As Random Are In Fact The Products Of Complex Shifting Webs Of Numbers Obeying Simple Rules. The Very Word "natural" That We Have Often Taken To Mean "unstructured" In Fact Describes Shapes And Processes That Appear So Unfathomably Complex That We Cannot Consciously Perceive The Simple Natural Laws At Work.They Can All Be Described By Numbers.
