Everything comes to him who knows how to wait.

The natural scientist is concerned with a particular kind of phenomena ... he has to confine himself to that which is reproducible ... I do not claim that the reproducible by itself is more important than the unique. But I do claim that the unique exceeds the treatment by scientific method. Indeed it is the aim of this method to find and test natural laws.

There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.'

That's not right. That's not even wrong.

How can one avoid despondency if one thinks of the anomalous Zeeman effect?

The fact that the author thinks slowly is not serious, but the fact that he publishes faster than he thinks is inexcusable.

For quite a while I have set for myself the rule if a theoretician says 'universal' it just means pure nonsense.
