"It is hard for me to believe, as some have tried to maintain, that such SUPERB theories could have arisen merely by some random natural selection of ideas leaving only the good ones as survivors. The good ones are simply much too good to be the survivors of ideas that have arisen in that random way. There must, indeed, be some deep underlying reason for the accord between mathematics and physics, i.e. between Plato's world and the physical world."
