Physics and Computer Science I
Physics is governed by the elegant (in hope and practice) laws of Mother Nature and there is an absolute truth even if it can take a while to obtain the experimental evidence to isolate it
- Physics is beautiful and a science ….
So (different) forms of elegant simple laws of computer science can and should be proposed by Knuth, Stepanov and Gosling etc but these cannot govern computing (as practiced in the real world) in the same way that Einstein’s equations govern space-time
- Computer science principles guide or influence the evolution of computing environments
- Space Time MUST obey Einstein’s laws ...
