Your mind spinning is the important part!
Let computers compute, it's what they're for, but let people tackle problems
that need reason and creativity to solve.
I must say, it is however interesting that a number of ancient texts, mainly
relating to spritual matters (as opposed to religious), also refer to a number
of dimensions or "planes of existence". Actually, 11 is the usual number and
they were written before string theory was ever published. I'm not saying
anything other than strange coincidence.
Accidental discoveries are a great bonus agreed, but I don't know of any
administrators of research grants who believe mistakes are terrific.
