  1. A. 1905?

    B. In what page [of Physics and Beyond : Encounters and Conversation (1971)] does this quote appear?

  2. A. Thanks! I’ve made the correction.

    B. I don’t usually track page number (since it can vary by edition). A quick search on Google finds it cited in this work in several locations around the web (incl. WikiQuote), but no chapter or page numbers are given. Sorry.
