There is no science which does not begin by requiring you to believe the incredible.””
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
