Quote by Howard Aiken, Proposed Automatic
At the present time there exist problems beyond our ability to solve, not because of theoretical difficulties, but because of insufficient means of mechanical computation.
Summary
This quote suggests that there are problems in the present that we are unable to solve. These problems are not due to their complexity in theory, but rather our limited ability to solve them mechanically. It implies that the main hindrance to solving these problems lies in a lack of adequate computational tools rather than a lack of understanding or knowledge.
