Discoveries with a Computer: Dynamic Behavior

Abstract

In his book, The Night Country, Loren Eiseley recounted an archaeologist’s experience of excavating an Egyptian pyramid as follows: “You crawl along some dark corridor on hands and knees, past falls of rock; the light of the lamp gleams on minute crystals in the stratified walls; beyond, the corridor disappears into the blackness. You turn corners, feeling your way with your hands; the workmen have been left behind, and suddenly, you realize you are alone in a place which has not heard a footfall for nearly fifty centuries.”

The important thing is not to stop questioning …. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
