Interstellar : November 7, 2014

Philosophy is written in this great book

(by which I mean the universe)
which stands always open to our view,
but it cannot be understood
unless one rst learns
how to comprehend the language and interpret
the symbols in which it is written,
and its symbols are
triangles, circles, and other geometric gures,
without which it is not humanly possible to
comprehend even one word of it;
without these one wanders in a dark labyrinth.
Galileo Galilei (1623)

-MTW, Gravitation, Chapter 13, pp. 304
