Klein, could hardly enclose her excitement, observant “It was an extraordinary experience. The exam was really formidable and we was truly astounded that we had won. we adore physics. It is an implausible margin that really most develops thinking, and allows us to catch a small of a conspicuous universe that G-d created.”
