Every Good Laboratory Consists Of First Rate Men Working In Great Harmony To Insure The Progress Of Science; But Down At The End Of The Hall Is An Unsociable, Wrong-headed Fellow Working On Unprofitable Lines, And In His Hands Lies The Hope Of Discovery.

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.

If Your Experiment Needs Statistics, You Ought To Have Done A Better Experiment.

The Year 1896 ... Marked The Beginning Of What Has Been Aptly Termed The Heroic Age Of Physical Science. Never Before In The History Of Physics Has There Been Witnessed Such A Period Of Intense Activity When Discoveries Of Fundamental Importance Have Followed One Another With Such Bewildering Rapidity.

If Your Result Needs A Statistician Then You Should Design A Better Experiment.
