In particular I enjoyed Bilson-Thompson’s comment “Take scientists, put them in a box and say, ‘OK you boffins, do your thing.” I always imagined this is as being what amounts as both the challenge and frustration of what you do; that is Phil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-68230590130732758452009-06-11T23:35:00.050-04:002009-06-11T23:35:00.050-04:00Please don't ask me who these people are coz m...<i>Please don't ask me who these people are coz my brain has a black hole where other people store names.</i><br /><br />So if you remember a name is it a case of how information gets out of a black hole? :)<br /><br />I'm very poor at remembering names too unless the person looks like how I imagine a character from a novel.Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451666670728177970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-42442228253413687472009-06-11T21:36:35.233-04:002009-06-11T21:36:35.233-04:00Bee said: "I don't know what to make out ...Bee said: "I don't know what to make out of it, so I'll restrain from commenting."<br /><br />What a strange policy.

However, if mathematics is not the description of a different timeless realm of reality, what is it? What are the theorems of mathematics about if numbers, formulas and curves do not exist outside of our world?
