We often resort to something called Hilbert space, which is described as n-dimensional-it's like modern sex, any number may be played with. James Blish
My real speciality is the mathematical analysis of Hilbert Space operators. But this was no time to come on like an ivory-tower idealist. Rudy Rucker
The traditional "cosmological” Multiverse considers that there might be physical realms inaccessible to us due to their separation in space-time. The quantum Multiverse arises from entities that occupy the same space-time, but are distant in Hilbert space – or in the jargon, decoherent. Frank Wilczek
I tried reading Hilbert. Only his papers published in mathematical periodicals were available at the time. Anybody who has tried those knows they are very hard reading. Alonzo Church
In the last 30 years, the prestige of mathematics has declined in all countries. I think that mathematicians are partially to be blamed as well-foremost, Hilbert and Bourbaki-the ones who proclaimed that the goal of their science was investigation of all corollaries of arbitrary systems of axioms.
