All Science Is Either Physics Or Stamp

The Great Object Is To Find The Theory Of The Matter [of X-rays] Before Anyone Else, For Nearly Every Professor In Europe Is Now On The Warpath.

The Energy Produced By The Breaking Down Of The Atom Is A Very Poor Kind Of Thing. Anyone Who Expects A Source Of Power From The Transformation Of These Atoms Is Talking Moonshine.

You Know, I Am Sorry For The Poor Fellows That Haven't Got Labs To Work In.

From The Results So Far Obtained It Is Difficult To Avoid The Conclusion That The Long-range Atoms Arising From Collision Of Alpha Particles With Nitrogen Are Not Nitrogen Atoms But Probably Atoms Of Hydrogen, Or Atoms Of Mass 2. If This Be The Case, We Must Conclude That The Nitrogen Atom Is Disintegrated Under The Intense Forces Developed In A Close Collision With A Swift Alpha Particle, And That The Hydrogen Atom Which Is Liberated Formed A Constituent Part Of The Nitrogen Nucleus.

That Which Is Not Measurable Is Not Science. That Which Is Not Physics Is Stamp Collecting.
