That Which Is Not Measurable Is Not

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.

A Good Scientific Theory Should Be Explicable To A Barmaid.

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.

I Am A Great Believer In The Simplicity Of Things And As You Probably Know I Am Inclined To Hang On To Broad & Simple Ideas Like Grim Death Until Evidence Is Too Strong For My Tenacity.

Gentlemen, Now You Will See That Now You See Nothing. And Why You See Nothing You Will See Presently.
