Steven Pinker Quotes

Take Space. It Has To Be Either Finite Or Infinite, Yet Neither Possibility Sits Well With Our Intuitions. When I Try To Imagine A Finite Universe, I Get Marcel Marceau Miming On An Invisible Wall With His Hands. Or, After Reading About Manifolds In Books On Physics, I See Ants Creeping Over A Sphere, Or People Trapped In A Huge Inner Tube Unaware Of All The Exposure Around Them. But In All These Cases The Volume Is Stubbornly Suspended In A Larger Space, Which Shouldn't Be There At All, But Which My Minds Eye Can't Help But Peek At.
