7 QUOTES WITH «REDUCIBLE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word reducible.
1
Francis Collins
I became an atheist because, as a graduate student studying quantum physics, life seemed to be reducible to second-order differential equations. Mathematics, chemistry and physics had it all. And I didn't see any need to go beyond that.
2
Tyler Cowen
In chess, computers show that what we call 'strategy' is reducible to tactics, ultimately. It only looks creative to us. They are still just glorified cash registers. This should make us feel uncomfortable, whether or not we think computers will ever be good composers of music or artistic painters.
3
Wilhelm Dilthey

6
Frederick Pollock
But it is strange how many rational beings believe the ultimate truths of the universe to be reducible to patterns on a blackboard.
