"If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself."

—

Albert Einstein (via politicalprof)

Source that Einstein ever said this? Cause he didn’t.

It’s a derivative of a Vonnegut quote from Cat’s Cradle:

Dr. Hoenikker used to say that any scientist who couldn’t explain to an eight-year-old what he was doing was a charlatan.
