Epigraph
How exquisitely the individual mind to the external world /
Is fitted - and how exquisitely, too /
The external world is fitted to the mind /
And the creation (by no lower name /
Can it be called) which they with blended might /
Accomplish.
William Wordsworth
The next great awakening of human intellect may well produce a method of understanding the qualitative content of equations. Today we cannot. Today we cannot see that the waterflow equations contain such things as the barber pole structure of turbulence that one sees between rotating cylinders. Today we cannot see whether Schrodinger's equation contains frogs, musical composers or morality - or whether it does not.
Richard P. Feynman
