Green Thought for Today July 8, 2008

 

 

"The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living."

 

 

Jules Henri Poincaré (1854 -1912), French mathematician, theoretical physicist and philosopher, is  known for formulating the "Poincaré Conjecture", one of seven Millennium Prize Problems which the Clay Mathematics Institute is offering $1,000 000 for a solution. Poincaré also discovered a chaotic deterministic system which provided the foundations of modern Chaos theory.
