“You can think of blogs as a way of scaling up
(scientific) conversation, so that conversations can
become widely distributed in both time and space.
Instead of just a few people listening as Terry Tao
muses aloud in the hall or the seminar room about the
Navier-Stokes equations, why not have a few thousand
talented people listen in? Why not enable the most
insightful to contribute their insights back?”
