random walk

Here are three interesting and diverse links. Stuff that I cam across on aimless wanderings (random walks) on the net.

1) Plenty of room at the bottom -- A talk by Richard Feynman [Dec, 1959] which supposedly got nano started. Here's the Link [http://www.its.caltech.edu/~feynman/plenty.html]

2) The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in natural sciences -- Paper by Eugene Wigner [Feb, 1960]. A look at the "beauty" of math; math, physics, math and physics etc. Here's the Link [http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/March02/Wigner/Wigner.html]

3) And after that bout of intellectual stimulation a short story by Asimov, by the name "The last question". If you are a Sci-fi fan I am pretty sure that you would enjoy this [in fact you should read this]. Others might still enjoy it, an interesting take on -- let me not spoil it for you here is the Link [http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html]
