It’s about trying to express something in the only way that most of us know how … We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. — Steve Jobs

No physicist is going to be able to tell you what this is, because the physicist maybe can tell you how physical matter might behave, but the humanities will tell you why. It's not a Department of Defense issue. It's a human issue is what it is.”
