| If
you know exactly what you are going to do, what is the point of doing
it? Pablo Picasso Every line in your calculations ends with "=0". You are not making much progress! Kate Hammett Let's change the resolution on the Unknown. Gabe Plunk It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong. Maynard Keynes |
Let me put it differently: suppose we had a reactor... Per Helander Working together takes more than one person. Bill Dorland We can't do ultraviolence to that square bracket. Ian Abel Field lines are forever. Bryan Taylor This is not really an ill-posed problem, it is not a problem at all. Paul Dellar I am just doing mathematics at the moment, but it is mathematics that has some point. Bryan Taylor |
