(Said on Friday:)
"If you like, you can think of Pauli's exclusion principle as
numbers identifying people in a city apartment building --
with a number for the street, a second for the building number,
a third for the floor number, and a fourth for the apartment
number. Of course, this means that only one person can be in
an apartment at any given time."
[Laughter from the students.]
"Well, maybe we should tell this to the housing people at
B.U."
