That rant is a bit ridiculous to post here - the foundations of computer science is largely the result of mathematicians who weren't particularly interested in physics.
- cft 9y agoThe foundations of computer science are trivial from the mathematics standpoint. I would not call them "results of mathematicians".

- mrout 9y agoComputer science is far from trivial. In fact, it's arguably the only part of mathematics that is provably non-trivial.
- jonsen 9y agoWell for one Turing was certainly somewhat interested in physics. From his WikiP page: In 1928, aged 16, Turing encountered Albert Einstein's work; not only did he grasp it, but it is possible that he managed to deduce Einstein's questioning of Newton's laws of motion from a text in which this was never made explicit. Then there was von Neumann and several others. If not interested then at least well educated in physics.
