Niels Bohr (1885-1962) |
"A friend was visiting in the home of Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr, the famous physicist.As they were talking, the friend kept glancing at a horseshoe hanging over the door. Finally, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he demanded:“Niels, it can’t possibly be that you, a brilliant scientist, believe that foolish horseshoe superstition!”'Of course not,' replied Bohr. 'But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.'”
