Northrup's talk] I could not help wondering whether the philosophy of the founding fathers, if they were living today, [their "philosophy based on scientific views of nature stemming from Galileo and Newton"] would not be altered by the revolutions in scientific thinking of this century. [Vide Alfred N. Whitehead in Science and the Modern World, Ch. 6]. In particular, how would Thomas Jefferson have reacted to the apparently irreconcilable schism between mathematicians as to the foundations of mathematics. . . What sort of democracy would have been created by founding fathers who had taken to heart the lessons of relativity and quantum theory? . . If it would have been different, why should we not now be discussing how it would have been different?"
