I just put my feet in the air and move them around.

Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.
Wir müssen wissen. Wir werden wissen.

We must know.
We will know.

Wir müssen wissen
Wir werden wissen



The infinite! No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man.
