"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?

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 Fine-structure constant) -- Wesha (talk) 20:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
