| David Hilbert
Before beginning I should put in three years of intensive study, and I haven't that much time to squander on a probable failure. Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks in the most part in vain. If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven? Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper. One can measure the importance of a scientific work by the number of earlier publications rendered superfluous by it. The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science. |
