James Clerk Maxwell Quote

The aim of the space-crumplers is to make its curvature uniform everywhere, that is over the whole of space whether that whole is more or less than N. The direction of the curvature is not related to one of the x y z more than another or to —x -y —z so that as far as I understand we are once more on a pathless sea, starless, windless and poleless.
