Re: I would have been a botanist



Hello to the group--

In our book Physically Speaking we have this quote as:

"All physics is either physics or stamp collecting." Rutherford was
quoted by J.B. Birks in the book Rutherford at Manchester (p. 108)

I don't get it. Isn't all literature either literature or stamp
collecting? Isn't all religion either religion or stamp collecting? Isn't
all art either art or stamp collecting?

Help me out here.

Larry
