It's a fascinating read... vandevere Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM
I never thought I would live to see the day where someone would write about Hugh Mathematics, and Quantum Physics, and make it deeply fascinating for me; the Ultimate Non-mathematical mind.

But Neal stephensen did it. He kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole darn thing...

If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't understand it.
