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

t function a little like simple animals, generating all manner of complex shapes and behaviors. The inspiration for this approach is almost certainly Conway’s Game of Life developed by John Conway in the 1960’s. In his computer game, animals and machines seem to appear on the screen but in truth they deri

drives creativity. There are also some myths to dispel about creative people. Inventors are portrayed as eccentric and hopelessly disorganized, but Feynman kept notes of every idea he ever had. I have kept a series of notebooks, now computer based, since J left university. I still have almost all of thes

e. Can we use the laws of physics to test these possibilities? We don't need to know how the influence works, just that it might exist in principle. Conway and Kochen prove there can be no external influence, and when a particle reveals its spin, that spin was not known beforehand. It is independent of a

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

s possible. That Cap’n Crunch thrill, the dream of whistling up control over the thick, helpless trunk of a network, that remains the dream. Remember Conway’s Law: The design and activity and control of a network redounds on, even determines the real world. If the whole network is, in a sense, filled with
