“As the island of knowledge grows, the surface that makes contact with mystery expands. When major theories are overturned, what we thought was certain knowledge gives way, and knowledge touches upon mystery differently. This newly discovered mystery may be humbling and unsettling, but it is the cost of truth. Creative scientists, philosophers, and poets thrive at this shoreline.” W. Mark Richardson<\/strong>, “A Skeptic’s Sense of Wonder,” Science<\/em>, 1998.<\/p>\n

\n

“Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than the latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.” Richard Powers,<\/strong> The Gold Bug Variations<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions.<\/p>\n

There are three kinds of mathematicians: Those who can count and those who can’t.<\/p>\n

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written. Henry Miller<\/strong>, Tropic of Cancer<\/em><\/p>\n

Only in math problems can you buy 60 cantaloupes and nobody asks what the heck is wrong with you. Charles Shultz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite them; And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.\u00a0 Jonathan Swift<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is not about being dealt a good hand, but playing a poor hand well.<\/p>\n

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. C.S. Lewis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized. Sir Terry Pratchett<\/strong><\/p>\n
