Quotes: "Okay, I know it sounds crazy -- but please realize that I'm speaking purely out of experience here. All matter is energy, all energy is matter; everything is essentially uniform. So surely it stands to reason that consciousness is the same. I mean, I know there's no proof -- and science requires proof -- but maybe if you...kinda...y'know...gave me funding..?"

"I did something really simple with this one. By channeling spatial magic through a quantum computer, I managed to create a slightly modified Minkowski Space, the curvature of which slightly defies geometric principles and creates a non-euclidean spacetime. Anyway, I think if I'm allowed to go further with this, I can convert NP problems into P problems, or possibly make them equivalent. Only then will we be able to have a perfect game of sidoku. Or, y'know, cure cancer."

"See...that's kinda problematic in the fact that it transgresses several laws of science and magic. In fact, I'd call it straight up abyssal in nature if I didn't know any better. Point is, this map isn't correct. Nope. In order for it to be correct, the Earth would have to be a truncated dodecahedron...or the universe...or both. Agh, this is every mathematicians nightmare! Why the hell does the coast of North America bisect in four different ways? If you religious sort want us to believe in Atlantis, you'd have to stop bringing us maps with archaic forms of geometry. What is this? Back when people thought there was four corners to the world?"
