A witty quote. The famous physicist Samuel A. Goudsmit began his address to
the American Physical Society in February 1976 with these words:

"It was a little over fifty years ago that George Uhlenbeck and I introduced
the concept of spin...It is therefore not surprising that most young physicists
do not know that spin had to be introduced. They think that it was revealed in
Genesis or perhaps postulated by Sir Isaac Newton, which most young physicists
consider to be about simultaneous."
