Repost: Nothing is Impossible
I posted this before and I am going to post it again for affect (I just used it in an email thread).
People said it was impossible, but [Dean] Kamen hates that word. Don’t tell me it’s impossible, he says, tell me you can’t do it. Tell me it’s never been done. Because the only real laws in this world — the only things we really know – are the two postulates of relativity, the three laws of Newton, the four laws of thermodynamics, and Maxwell’s equation — no, scratch that, the only things we really know are Maxwell’s equation, the three laws of Newton, the two postulates of relativity, and the periodic table. That’s all we know that’s true. All the rest are man’s laws [bold mine].

I cannot tell you how important this view is to my personal philosophy or to the vision that I strive to achieve.
Non Serviam.
