Ask me anything

Best “I told you so” ever

You ask me if a ordinary person - by studying hard - would get be able to imagine these things like I imagine them? Of course! I was a ordinary person who studied hard. There’s no miracle people. It just happens; they got interested in this thing and they learned all this stuff. They’re just people. There’s no talent or special miracle ability to understand quantum mechanics or a miracle ability to imagine electromagnetic fields, that comes without practice and reading and learning and study. So if you say you’re taking a ordinary person, who is willing to devote a great deal of time and study and work and thinking and mathematics, then he’s become a scientist.

I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can convert poverty to riches, adversity to prosperity, and I am more invulnerable then Achilles; fortune hath not one place to hit me

Sir Thomas Browne

I find myself trying to imagine all kind of things the whole time, and I get a kick out of it. Just like a runner gets a kick out of sweating, I get a kick out of thinking. I can’t stop. I mean I could talk forever.
