It's a sort of a list of questions & answers. One must bear in mind that it comes from a newspaper, the New York Times, and therefor isn't the best of sciemtific references. Indeed, I thought some of it a little silly. But, it's not bad none the less.

quote:
I have no need for that hypothesis," Pierre-Simon Laplace famously responded when asked where God fit into his new astronomical theory. Using calculus and Newton's laws of gravity, he explained the forces that kept the planets from gradually drifting out of orbit, imparting some stability to the solar system. Newton had thought the Great Engineer must step in now and then to readjust the machine.
Enjoy!
