"More or less. If you spend your whole time thinking about the universe, you tend to forget the less important bits of it. Like your pants. And ninety-nine out of a hundred ideas they come up with are totally useless." "Why doesn't anyone lock them away safely, then? They don't sound much use to me," said Brutha. "Because the hundredth idea," said Om, "is generally a humdinger." "What?" "Look up at the highest tower on the rock." Brutha looked up. At the top of the tower, secured by metal bands, was a big disc that glittered in the morning light. "What is it?" he whispered. "The reason why Omnia hasn't got much of a fleet any more," said Om. "That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all Is Truth Beauty and Is Beauty Truth, and Does a Falling Tree in the Forest Make a Sound if There's No one There to Hear It, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, Incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles," he added. "Always coming up with amazing new ideas, the philosophers. The one before that was some intricate device that demonstrated the principles of leverage by incidentally hurling balls of burning sulphur two miles. Then before that, I think, there was some kind of an underwater thing that shot sharpened logs into the bottom of ships." Brutha stared at the disc again. He hadn't understood more than one-third of the words in the last statement. "Well," he said, "does it?" "Does what?" "Make a sound. If it falls down when no one's there to hear it." "Who cares?"
