We haven't got the money, so we've got to think.

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.

It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.

I congratulate you both on a fine piece of work which I am sure will ultimately prove of importance. I am personally very much interested in your results... In the past I have tried a number of experiments... but without any success.

If, as I have reason to believe, I have disintegrated the nucleus of the atom, this is of greater significance than the war.

That which is not measurable is not science. That which is not physics is stamp collecting.
