ut to truly understand the information they convey we need to understand the logical rules governing how they can be combined. A s well as giving us Alice, the Jabberwocky, and the Cheshire Cat, Everyday conversation is fragmented and repetitive. Fortunately, now and again, we say something definitive.
Once again, I disprove the theory. Since both routes fail, James’ list of prime numbers is not complete and, therefore, prime numbers are infinite. Feynman's Proof My favorite piece of logic is Richard Feynman's disproof of the existence of polywater. It’s a strange logical proof bordering on philosophy

I have kept a series of notebooks, now computer based, since J left university. I still have almost all of thes
. But the cos- mos doesn't care about our sensibilities. And once again, light provided the key to the door of the rabbit hole to a world that makes Alice's expe- riences seem tame. While they may be strange, the connections unearthed by Einstein and Minkowski can be intuitively understood—given the c
seems to offer hope of a world where any dream, no matter how outlandish, is realizable. Other familiar names, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, and later Feynman and Dyson, each made great leaps into the unknown. But they weren't alone. Physics is a collaborative discipline. Too often science stories are wr
