In the media, waterboarding is called 'simulated drowning,' but that's a misnomer. It does not simulate drowning, as the lungs are actually filling with water. There is no way to simulate that. The victim is drowning.

So we can simulate Richter-10 earthquakes. We simulate 70-foot waves coming into these things. Very cool. We basically say no human should ever be required to do anything, because if you judge by Chernobyl and Fukushima, the human element is not on your side.

Bill Gates

There's only so much you can do as far as individual skill work and conditioning on a bike. But you can't simulate playing in an actual game. And it can't satisfy the competitive itch you feel as a player.

Joe Harris

In the Soviets' view, chess was not merely an art or a science or even a sport; it was what it had been invented to simulate: war.

Pal Benko

You can't simulate playing basketball no matter how much working out you do.

Danny Green

Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in.

Martin Rees

I try to simulate as much as possible what we do on the field in my workouts, so when I get with the team I'm somewhere close.

The photograph that discovers and uncovers the world is harder to simulate than an image that simply illustrates one's ideas about it.

God divides the stillness of His omnipresent Oneness into mated pairs, and simultaneously multiplies their power to simulate His omnipotence and omniscience through fast centripetal motion. He then unites His mated pairs to simulate His Oneness, and simultaneously multiplies their speed of centrifugal motion until they disappear into His omnipresent stillness.

Walter Russell

Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.

Tim Sweeney

It is so much easier to try to help a six-month-old child or a six-year-old child than it is a 16-year-old troubled kid.

Nicholas Kristof

Chess hasn't really influenced my literature. It's true, there's a character in Pigeon Post, an old chess player; but it's more of a wink, a self-portrait and not much more.

Dumitru Tepeneag

Television is like speed chess, as you have no time and no money. It is like trying to play Grandmaster chess with a 20 minute timer. The rewards are great, though, as it moves faster and you get to see the finished results much quicker.

Dean Devlin

It's hard to simulate the things that I do.

Shayna Baszler

He who can simulate sanity will be sane.

Ovid

You so often see bowlers pick out a lovely new ball from the bag at nets and it looks great when it swings in the air and nips off the seam with batsmen playing and missing. But you have to simulate match situations. What about when the ball is 60 overs old, the sun is blazing down, the pitch is flat and there's not a hint of movement?
