  41. Oak Beams at New College, Oxford • “I think of the oak beams in the ceiling of College Hall at New College, Oxford, first built in 1386. In 1856, when the beams needed replacing, carpenters used oak trees that had been planted in 1386 when the dining hall was first built. The 14th-century builder had planted the trees in anticipation of the time, hundreds of years in the future, when the beams would need replacing. Did the carpenters plant new trees to replace the beams again a few hundred years from now?”* *From Danny Hillis, presentation at Motorola 2001
