The Further A Mathematical Theory Is Developed,

As Long As A Branch Of Science Offers An Abundance Of Problems, So Long It Is Alive; A Lack Of Problems Foreshadows Extinction Or The Cessation Of Independent Development.

Some People Have Got A Mental Horizon Of Radius Zero And Call It Their Point Of View.

Mathematics Is A Presuppositionless Science. To Found It I Do Not Need God, As Does Kronecker, Or The Assumption Of A Special Faculty Of Our Understanding Attuned To The Principle Of Mathematical Induction, As Does Poincaré, Or The Primal Intuition Of Brouwer, Or, Finally, As Do Russell And Whitehead, Axioms Of Infinity, Reducibility, Or Completeness, Which In Fact Are Actual, Contentual Assumptions That Cannot Be Compensated For By Consistency Proofs.

We Do Not Master A Scientific Theory Until We Have Shelled And Completely Prised Free Its Mathematical Kernel.

If I Were To Awaken After Having Slept For A Thousand Years, My First Question Would Be: Has The Riemann Hypothesis Been Proven?
