Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or science:

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)

    Oh, what does science not conceal today! How much, at any rate, is it meant to conceal!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
