Go up one level in this thread


The idea is catchy, of course, but remenber me t hat story told by
argentinian writter Ernesto Sábato of a man of science trying to explain
relativity theory to a layman., After h e finished, the man said "sorry,
I did not understand a word", so the science man talked about trains,
people shooting with pistols, watches and so on and at the end the
layman said "well, forgive me, but  I still does not undestand nothing",
so the scientific  added more trains, bycicles running , more  shoots, a
lot of watches until the man said "Wooo, I finally undestand the theory
of relativity", but then he scientific said, "Yes, but it is not anymore
the theory of relativity". The same for a Deep Blue running in a PC. End
of the story.
