"The Net is a mirror for the way human beings think," says Bain. "Hypertext is the bedrock for a whole new nonlinear art form. When you're clicking your browser from site to site, you're exploring chaos theory. The scenes have no connection, except in your head. Quantum Project is like that. It's not just nonlinear, it's noncontextual. It cuts together stuff that has meaning in ways that...
...Harvard has a fine tradition with nonlinear optics and atomic physics, and Lene brings these things together in unusual ways, which will probably mean new connections with [DEAS] and physics," he said...

Beautiful people know they will never be asked to build a communications satellite or invent a vaccine. They know they can get all the money they need by charging ugly people to look at them. This commerce takes many forms, including marriage, television and Cosmopolitan magazine...
