Most scenes together: The True Spirit of Adventure & Donald Duck (2)
Hello Donald.
That's me! Where am I?
Mathmagic Land.
Mathmagic Land? Never heard of it.
It's the land of great adventure.
Well, who are you?
I'm a spirit. The True Spirit of Adventure.
That's for me! What's next?
A journey through the wonderlands of Mathematics.
Donald Duck: Mathematics! That's for EGGHEADS!
Eggheads? Now hold on Donald. You like music, don't you?
Yeah.
Well, without eggheads, there would be no music.
The mind knows no limits when used properly. Think of a pentagram, Donald. Now put another inside, a third, and a fourth. No pencil is sharp enough to draw as fine as you can think, and no paper large enough to hold your imagination. In fact, it is only in the mind that we can conceive infinity. [the infinite progression of pentagrams turns into a hallway of doors] Mathematical thinking has opened the doors to the exciting adventures of science.
I'll be doggone! I've never seen so many doors before.
Each discovery leads to many others. An endless chain.
Hey, hey! What's the matter with these doors? Hey! These doors won't open! They're locked!
Of course they are locked. These are the doors of the future, and the key is...
Mathematics!
Right. Mathematics. The boundless treasures of science are locked behind those doors. In time, they will be opened by the curious and inquiring minds of future generations. In the words of Galileo, "Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe."
A perfect circle. Perfect circle. Perfect.
Checkers?
Mighty strange.
The profusion of mathematical forms brings to mind the words of Pythagoras: "Everything is arranged according to number and mathematical shapes." Yes, there's mathematics in music, in art, in just about everything. And as the Greeks have guessed, the rules are always the same.
What's next? Tiddlywinks?
