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
ilization mostly survived on syllogisms and stoic logic for nearly two thousand years before George Boole devised his theory of binary logic in 1847. Boole developed an elegant mathematical system for representing logical statements that allowed simple arithmetical operations to answer logical questions.

s in it taking the shortest route possible from its initial to final position. The related 1650 Fermat’s “principle of least time” is about light.

scheme for doing yes-no, either-or computation onto current switching devices such that circuit closed was “true” and circuit open was “false.” Using Boole’s laws such as “Not(A and B)” always equals “(Not A) or (Not B)” led to schemes for circuit routing through electronic gates which also serve for inf
was the time that Hillis asked Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to tip him off about any smart scientists Thinking Machines might hire. Feynman, pushing 60, volunteered himself and spent his summer vacations for the next ten years with Hillis and his team.1?! When it came time to test the fir
ends, anywhere. In a library in Calcutta, for instance, he once found a copy of George Boole’s 1854 book “An Investigation Into the Laws of Thought”. Boole invented symbolic logic on those pages and though his instincts were grounded in an age of steam and machines, his vision still echoes in 132 HOUSE
