| | Meta Physics continued: Faustus is gone:
regard his hellish fall
-- Marlowe
I have just read, in the New York Times Book Review that arrived in yesterday's mail, a review of Segre's Faust in Copenhagen. The review, on news stands next Sunday, was titled by the Times "Meta Physicists."
On Faust-- today's noon entry and yesterday's "Nightmare Lessons."
On "Meta Physicists"-- an entry of June 6, on Cullinane College, has a section titled "Meta Physics."
On Copenhagen-- an entry of Bloomsday Eve, 2004 on a native of that city.
Another Dane:
"Words, words, words."
-- Hamlet
Another metaphysics:
"317 is a prime,
not because we think so,
or because our minds
are shaped in one way
rather than another,
but because it is so,
because mathematical
reality is built that way." -- G. H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology
