This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.

About This Quote

In the past, I have written about my fascination with computer models. This fascination goes back to when I was a child. My dad worked in the aerospace industry. I remember him discussing the launch of a rocket in his office and how he had built a model of it in a large wooden box.

I would spend hours in there playing with the model and racing cars around it. This fascination is something that has continued throughout my life and comes from a place of curiosity and wonder.
