So there's this Wolfram guy who published his own book, who's theory is that the whole universe can be condensed to a simple code.

I like that idea.  He's quite controversial, some scientists fart fire when they hear his name.  What is the consensus on the campuses out there?



This evolves into this;

It's actually annoying as hell, esp. if you don't coe to the site every day (or even more than once a day) and scroll through the swaths of drivle to find that there really isn't a meaningful news topic.

read the "Well of Souls" series by Jack L. Chalker.

You will learn that the universe as we know it is held together by equations running on a very large computer.

I think we need to go there, reset the stupdity varable a lot lower and reboot the system.

Piers Anthony wrote a series of books that got pretty heavily into fractals as well, the Mode series.  It was ok, but got a little too heavy, went far into fractals and the Mandelbrot set, etc...

TaxMan, if you'd like to write some news,
maybe I could put it up for ya!
Or another Admin!

Perhaps I'm operating under an illusion, I always say to post what you want to read about;
from this thread I've found a couple new books to read right off the bat...

I think I stepped on your toes not long ago, and I didn't intend to affront you, nor am I now.
