perverse. As defined by Encarta, evil is, "that which is
morally wrong or bad; or that which causes harm, pain, or

Proceeding entirely on his own, he investigated the latest developments in mathematics and the new natural philosophy that treated nature as a complicated machine. Almost immediately, still under the age of 25, he made fundamental discoveries that were instrumental in his career science. The Fluxional Method, Newton's first achievement was in mathematics. He generalized the methods that were being used to draw tangents to curves and to calculate the ...

Lorenz's Work In The Chaos Field And Basic Chaos
... He ran this model many times with different starting variables in
each equation to see how it behaved and if it did follow the model of real
weather. One time, after he completed a particularly long weather sequence,
he decided to let it run longer and to start the program over again at the
previous sequence's mid-point. He entered the information and supposedly
went for coffee. When he returned, he was confused to find results of the
beginning of the new sequence not matching up with the results of the
middle of the last run. The numbers were not very close and growing farther
apart as the sequence progressed. Lo ...

... never stepped out of it until he died. He was a good man, as men go in the bewildering world of ours, brave, transparent, tender-hearted, and honorable. Dickens was always a little too irritable because he was a little too happy. Like the over-wrought child in society, he was splendidly sociable, and in and yet sometimes quarrelsome. In all the practical relations of his life he was what the child is at a party, genuinely delighted, delightful, affectionate and happy, and in some strange way fundamentally sad and dangerously close to tears. 2
