Top 32 Computations Quotes
#1. I have just gone over my comet computations again, and it is humiliating to perceive how very little more I know than I did seven years ago when I first did this kind of work.
Maria Mitchell
#2. I have tried to avoid long numerical computations, thereby following Riemann's postulate that proofs should be given through ideas and not voluminous computations.
David Hilbert
#3. If you roll dice, you know that the odds are one in six that the dice will come up on a particular side. So you can calculate the risk. But, in the stock market, such computations are bull - you don't even know how many sides the dice have!
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
#4. What would it be like if, right in the midst of this busyness, we were to consciously take our hands off the controls? What if we were to intentionally stop our mental computations and our rushing around and, for a minute or two, simply pause and notice our inner experience?
Tara Brach
#5. Perhaps some day in the dim future it will be possible to advance the computations faster than the weather advances and at a cost less than the saving to mankind due to the information gained. But that is a dream.
Lewis Fry Richardson
#6. Keep computations to the lowest level of the multiplication table.
David Hilbert
#7. Using high math and computations, he engineers them, with one goal in mind: to create the biggest crave. "People say, 'I crave chocolate,' " Moskowitz told me. "But why do we crave chocolate, or chips? And how do you get people to crave these and other foods?
Michael Moss
#8. The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits - not animals ... . There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
Ronald Reagan
#9. No sociologist, for instance, should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time.
Max Weber
#10. 250 qubits, it is possible to represent roughly 1075 combinations, which is greater than the number of atoms in the universe. If it were possible to achieve the appropriate superposition with 250 particles, then a quantum computer could perform 1075 simultaneous computations,
Simon Singh
#11. Computations are everywhere, once you begin to look at things in a certain way.
Rudy Rucker
#12. Fly flight is just a great phenomenon to study. It has everything - from the most sophisticated sensory biology; really, really interesting physics; really interesting muscle physiology; really interesting neural computations.
Michael Dickinson
#13. A lot of people talk about sometime around 2030, machines will be more powerful than the human brain, in terms of the raw number of computations they can do per second. But that seems completely irrelevant. We don't know how the brain is organized, how it does what it does.
Stuart J. Russell
#14. If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.
Rudy Rucker
#15. The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.
Howard Aiken
#16. Fantastic truths perish slower ... Sappho's moon will survive the moon of Armstrong. Different computations are necessary.
Odysseas Elytis
#17. The speed at which modern CPUs perform computations still blows my mind daily.
Markus Persson
#18. There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.
Stephen Hawking
#19. Scientist and baseball fan Mike McBeath set out to understand the hidden neural computations behind catching fly balls.
David Eagleman
#20. The Old Testament contains over 300 references to the Messiah that were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Computations using the science of probability on just 8 of these prophecies show the chance that someone could have fulfilled all 8 prophecies is 10 (to the 17th power), or 1 in 100 quadrillion.
Fritz Ridenour
#21. The theory of numbers, more than any other branch of mathematics, began by being an experimental science. Its most famous theorems have all been conjectured, sometimes a hundred years or more before they were proved; and they have been suggested by the evidence of a mass of computations.
G.H. Hardy
#22. One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations?
Seth Lloyd
#23. That which occasions so many mistakes in the computations of men, when they expect return for favors, is that the giver's pride and the receiver's cannot agree upon the value of the kindness done.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld
#24. I have no great faith in political arithmetic, and I mean not to warrant the exactness of either of these computations.
Adam Smith
#25. While the United States has been busy creating lawyers, we have been busier creating engineers.
Akio Morita
#27. My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.
Stephen Hawking
#28. My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
Simon Van Der Meer
#29. When it comes to continual improvement programs, the biggest mistake is a failure to launch, the biggest hurdle is culture.
John Novak
#30. Some parents were nervous about how they would portray everything, ... At a picnic the moms put on for the team and coaches, I said that all the reality shows are turning around and showing good things, not bad things.
Dick Butkus
#31. The brain is both an emitter and a receiver of many forms of electromagnetic energy. There are fields of various forms around all living things, some we know about and others have yet to be documented.
Steven Magee
#32. The comics medium has some unusual features that do make it very different, in that it's combining a verbal narrative with a visual one that allows for much richer possibilities of transmitting information.
Alan Moore
