I don’t usually post straight-up quotes here, but I’m a fan of Feynman, and thought this was well worth the pixels:
- “There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it’s only a hundred billion. It’s less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.”
- Richard Feynman
US educator & physicist (1918 – 1988)
