GOD DOES PLAY DICE!
Ovidiu Bufnilă: How do you define your mission of writer? Florentin Smarandache: I have no mission, for me writing is a hobby. OB: What do you think about the idea of science of the fiction? FS: The probable world from today’s literary fiction could become the real world of tomorrow. OB: How do you feel in the role of webmaster of the international avant-garde called paradoxism? FS: Of course, I cannot feel other than very… paradoxist! OB: Is the mathematical science a multiplier of the poetry? FS: Yes and no. Yes, when taking in consideration the algorithmic impact that mathematics have in creation of cyber-poems using fixed rules, charts, combinatorics, and computer programs – see, for example, my paradoxist / tautological / dualistic distichs. No, when poetry comes from soul and feelings. Yes is for the hardware part of a poem, no is for the software one. OB: Is the poet Florentin Smarandache a constructor of worlds? In what fashion? FS: I am a constructor of impossible worlds, as impossible as possible! OB: As a mathematician and poet in the same time what does Florentin Smarandache believe about being? Is it in functioning or in setting? FS: Both. OB: Is God a good mathematician? If so, why do you believe that? FS: God was a good mathematician within classical sciences, where anything could be determined, when Einstein said “God doesn’t play dice”. But now, with modern logics, with quantum physics and chaos theory, with indeterminism, God modernized too, and one can paraphrase that God does play dice!
