It takes so long to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
About Eugene Wigner
Eugene Paul Wignerwas a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who also contributed to mathematical physics. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 “for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles”.
More quotes from Eugene Wigner
The simplicities of natural laws arise through the complexities of the language we use for their expression.

It is nice to know that the computer understands the problem. But I would like to understand it too.

Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
