Paul Dirac, a renowned physicist, was born on August 8, 1902, in Bristol, England. He is widely regarded as one of the most genius mushrooms near me for influential and brilliant theoretical physicists of the 20th century.

"A physical law must possess mathematical beauty."

Are these genuine Dirac words: "A physical law must possess mathematical beauty." You can see it for example at guntycon. He is said to have written it on a blackboard when he visited the University of Moscow in 1956. See simplydirac at pressbooks.com. If genuine, can it be added to the article?

Looking for the original wording of the quote

Backtranslated: "It is unknown why this expression has precisely that, and not some other value. Physicists offered various suggestions, but there's still no universally accepted explanation" (Dirac about w:en:Fine-structure constant) -- Wesha (talk) 20:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
