The Physical Jew

RE: The Physical Jew

Where do I even start with this guy....

John v. Neumann

One of the most intimidating minds of the 20th century, he kind of knew everything. The architecture of modern computers is called von Neumann architecture for a reason. He's in this thread because he laid the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, but he was also a leading thinker in game theory. When he heard of the work John Nash got his Nobel prize for, he allegedly wasn't very impressed. He knew that all along, but didn't bother writing it down because it was kind of trivial.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
