今天早晨读费米传看到这样一段对话:
MAJORANA: There are scientists who “happen” only once in every five hundred years, like Archimedes or Newton. And there are scientists who happen only once or twice in a century, like Einstein or Bohr.
FERMI: But where do I come in, Majorana?
MAJORANA: Be reasonable, Enrico! I am not talking about you or me. I am talking about Einstein and Bohr.
这是我头一回听说 Majorana 这个人,开始还以为他是一个妄人。结果发现费米对他的评价相当高,甚至摆到伽利略和牛顿的地位。
