 Clifford
Pickover, an extraordinarily prolific and polymathic research scientist at the IBM T. J.
Watson Research Center, has consistently been one of the most creative writers about
computer graphics, scientific visualization, and mathematical models of natural and
physical systems. This latest offering is classic Pickover in its wealth of information,
ideas, bold speculations and and propositions -- including proposed "hands-on"
experiments with black holes -- which just may turn out to be plausible. |
