marilyn vos savant
infamously challenged wiles proof
before understanding it
ramanujan
was not immediately recognised as
a brilliant manipulator of series and integrals
the world of mathematical certainty
is delayed
and smeared
derivations are not immediately verified
it is in these times of uncertainty
one can see the character of
the self-described students
and every mathematician
and every scientist
is born anew
their lives a continous process
of rediscovering the structure
of past proofs and observations
before the times we understand the structure
we do not know of sense and nonsense
only possibility
and there is always the possibility
we will never know it
do not be an ***** and assume to deny
what you cannot yet comprehend
take your time
and study
and wait
that is what heyting algebras teach us
