After some cogitation, it is difficult not to agree with Herman Bondi (1919 - 2005), who in his book 'Relativity and Common Sense' says:... The surprising thing, surely, is that molecules in a gas behave so much as billiard balls, not that electrons behave so little like billiard balls.

About This Quote

Everything that we experience around us is a direct result of those things that have happened before. It is the sum total of all the events and experiences that have taken place and will ever take place. It's amazing how we can see and hear events and facts about our lives without knowing the history behind them. The great physicist, Albert Einstein, once said: "The problems we face today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that was current when I was a child." In this quote, he illustrates that the problems that we face today are greatly influenced by the way how our parents treat us as children. If they were strict, strict parents who never gave us any leeway, today we would be very much like those people from whom we learned to behave.
