friends. Logical Beginnings The formal study of logic began in 3848c with the publication ofa treatise called the Organon by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. A student of Plato, Aristotle taught many of the famous leaders of his time, including Alexander The Great. Ancient Greece was not some idyllic thin

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

an when he was 60 years old. He’d had an astonishing life until then, of course. He’d been taught by Socrates and, in turn, had sharpened the mind of Aristotle. He’d established his famous Academy in Athens. The puzzles of philosophy and politics that defined his city’s most turbulent era had been the work o

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

in the same sense as Galileo, if by this term one describes those who tear down the dictates of the authorities who came before, as Galileo had for Aristotle. Einstein did just the opposite. He knew that rules that had been established on the basis of experiment could not easily be tossed aside, and it w

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
