Abstract

… An intelligence which could, at any moment, comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and respective positions of the beings of which it is composed, and moreover, if this intelligence were far-reaching enough to subject these data to analysis, it would encompass in that formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom: to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future, as well as the past would be present to its eyes. The human mind offers us, faint sketch of this intelligence [1].
