Jeff Meldman, 15.581 (Information Systems and Law)
solo26@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (solo26@ATHENA.MIT.EDU)
Fri Feb 12 14:06:47 1993
The context:
The topic was the history of law...Jeff places a timeline on the board,
with "1993" on the right, and "-1.5x10^10" on the left. People looking
dazed, he asks what this date is. It doesn't take long before someone
guesses it's the big bang....
The quote:
"...Agreed. This date [-1.5x10^10] is what people generally accept to be
the big bang...give or take a few months."
