With news of NASA cancelling LISA only a few months after FermiLab announced it will be turning off the Tevatron, one is tempted to feel a new Dark Ages may be approaching. But perhaps a renaissance of mathematics will be dawning. The mathematician Vladimir Arnold once said "Математика — часть физика — экспериментальчая, естественная наука, частьестествознания. Математика — это та часть физики, в которой эксперименты дешевы."
Translated, this reads "Mathematics is a part of physics. Physics is an experimental science, a part of natural science. Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap."
