Question for July 13, 2010

Sorry for the late post ...

X while talking about Y said, "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about Y perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what Y might actually be like." "If Y visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans".

Identify X & Y.
