We've had digital revolutions in communication and computation, but precisely the same idea, precisely the same math Shannon and Von Neuman did, hasn't yet come out to the physical world. So, inspired by that, colleagues in this program -- the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT -- which is a group of people, like me, who never understood the boundary between physical science and computer science. I would even go further and say
我们在通讯以及计算方面已经完成了一场数字革命 但是同样的理念，同样的数学 ——香农和冯·诺依曼都曾这么做—— 却还没有在现实的物理世界中出现。我受到这一个想法所鼓舞 我跟比特原子研究中心的同事一道 那是一群像我这样的人 他们永远也不会理会物理科学与计算机科学之间的界限 我甚至会认为
