Subject: On reading The Mind of God, A Theorist Notebook disk printout
You may unstuff this document with stuffit 2.0 and then open it with
system 7's teach text. Or you may view it with stuffit 2.0's viewer.
Extractor will even unstuff beta 3.0 stuffed files.
This notebook was inspired by a quote of Richard Feynman in Physicist
Paul Davies, "The Mind of God", which I am reading with great gusto.
The illustration that the examples show is that mathematics is somehow
"out there" to be discovered and not merely the product of the dry logic of
some ancient formalist. In fact, while dozing during a sermon, I thanked God
that he made Physics for me to wonder about as well as a sermon for me to
believe.
