You are not smart


Yeah, I don't exactly know who you are, but here's my guarantee. You are not smarter than AT LEAST 17 out of these 29 people, and probably not smarter than all of them. Further you will not contribute any where near as much to our understanding of the universe as them. Have a nice day.

I haven't seen this picture in a long time. It adorned the opening page of my undergrad quantum mechanics book. As if to say, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here".
