More by A P J Abdul Kalam More on Science “If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.” “This is what the painter, the poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own fashion.” “Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.... I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.... It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.” More on Technology “2006, I started 'WineLibrary TV.' To build 'WineLibrary TV,' I started using Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter in 2008.” “It's like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there's some fundamental technology shift, it's just over.” “Many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.”
