All stable processes we shall predict. All unstable processes we shall control. Describing John von Neumann's aspiration for the application of computers sufficiently large to solve the problems of meteorology, despite the sensitivity of the weather to small perturbations.

In religion, you're supposed to be somehow in touch with something deep and full of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
Image
I think science and religion should be separate.

I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines.

Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
