Konrad Zuse

“Like Alan Turing, Zuse was educated in a system that focused on a child's emotional and philosophical life as well as his intellectual life, and at the end of school, like Turing, Zuse found himself to be something of an outsider—to the disappointment of his very conventional parents, he no longer believed in God or religion.

“Differential equations describe only the final condition in the case of
the theory of ideally incompressible fluids. The actual process leading to
establishment of the end condition of equilibrium from a state of rest is
hardly conceivable without taking compressibility and braking processes into
account.”
