An alleged scientific discovery has no merit unless it can be explained to a barmaid.

Never say, "I tried it once and it did not work."

Now I know what the atom looks like.

Splitting the atom is like trying to shoot a gnat in the Albert Hall at night and using ten million rounds of ammunition on the off chance of getting it. That should convince you that the atom will always be a sink of energy and never a reservoir of energy.

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.

You should never bet against anything in science at odds of more than about 10-12 to 1.

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