In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King, Jr.-

Some people feel that science rules and therefore religion is bunk. But science is only about the physical realm; by definition it does not address the metaphysical, the spiritual realm. There is a weak analogy with cyberspace. The online world is not embodied in the computers, servers, and physical networks which make up the Internet. It requires these, of course, but there is an intangible component, the human interaction and flow of information which really constitute cyberspace. We may measure total numbers of bytes or gigabytes, but the Internet is more than that. So with metaphysics: we can see ways in which the physical world may be impacted but to say we cannot study it by physical science does not prove it doesn’t exist. -Cutlass 43k-

Science is concerned with what is possible while engineering is concerned with choosing, from among the many possible ways, one that meets a number of often poorly stated economic and practical objectives. -Richard W. Hamming-

When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain…. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket. -Nikola Tesla (January, 1926)-
