Luis Alvarez Quotes

Arthur Compton became my graduate advisor. He was the ideal graduate advisor for me: he came into my research room only once during my graduate career and usually had no idea how I was spending my time.

There is no democracy in physics. We can't say that some second-rate guy has as much right to opinion as Fermi.

Someone who believes everything he is told simply can't be a scientist, but someone who believes nothing will wind up in jail or prematurely buried.

Robert Oppenheimer used to tell of the pioneer mysteries of building reliable Geiger counters that had low background noise. Among his friends, he said, there were two schools of thought. One school firmly held that the final step before one sealed off the Geiger tube was to peel a banana and wave the skin three times, sharply to the left. The other school was equally confident that success would follow if one waved the banana peel twice to the left and then, once, smartly to the right. (My counters were unbelievably bad because I didn't use either of these techniques.)

What's your name?" he asked. She'd turned to him with a deep frown, instantly terrifying him. About to turn to escape back into the bookshop, Walt was stopped by her shrug. "Cora." "That's a funny name." "It isn't, actually." Cora's frown deepened. She pulled herself up to her full height of four foot three inches. 'Officially my name is Cori, but Grandma calls me Cora. I'm named in honor of Gerty Cori, the first woman winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine. I bet you didn't know that." "No," Walt admitted, embarrassed. "I didn't." "What's your name?" "Walt," he offered quietly, expecting her to retort that his was an even sillier name, but she didn't. "After the scientist?" Walt frowned, thrown. "What scientist?" Cora shrugged. "Maybe Luis Walter Alvarez or Walter Reed, but... actually Walter Sutton is the most famous. He invented a theory about chromosomes and the Mendelian laws of inheritance." Cora let slip a little smile of satisfaction at the blank look on the boy's face. "Or maybe Walter Lewis-" "No," Walt interrupted, "I've never heard of any of them." "Oh." Cora folded her arms and tilted her nose upward. "Then who are you named after?" she asked, as if this was a given. "Walt Whitman," he retorted. "The poet.

Around the lab I heard that publicity was measured in an absolute unit, the "kan". That unit was too large for ordinary application and a practical unit one one-thousandth of the size served in its place, the "millikan".

There's a limit beyond which one cannot progress. The differences between the limiting abilities of those on successively higher steps of the pyramid are enormous. I have not seen described anywhere the shock a talented man experiences when he finds, late in his academic life, that there are others enormously more talented than he. I have personally seen more tears shed by grown men and women over this discovery than I would have believed possible.

Close on the heels of Leclerc’s armored spearhead was an American intelligence unit code-named ALSOS, carrying secret instructions from the physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer and Luis W. Alvarez on clues to look for in investigating “the Y program”—the German atomic bomb effort. Evidence discovered in Paris and at the Philips factory in Eindhoven pointed to the University of Strasbourg as a key atomic research center.

FOR YOUR LOST BTC, USDT, AND ETH: HIRE SOLACE CYBER WORKSTATIONS FOR QUICK RECOVERY Balancing two jobs as a single mother is an exhausting endeavor. Every day is a precarious juggling act, as I navigate work shifts, tend to my children, pay mounting bills, and cling to the hope of building a better future for them. I’ve endured countless sacrifices, gone without sleep, and saved every dollar I could manage. Over time, I painstakingly amassed a small financial reserve of 1.5 BTC in cryptocurrency, valued at approximately $1650000. While modest by some measures, to me it represented years of relentless effort, perseverance, and aspiration. Then came an unforeseen crisis, a medical emergency. One of my children required urgent life-saving care, and the associated costs began to spiral out of control. I was overwhelmed, paralyzed by fear, and scrambling for solutions. That’s when I stumbled across an ad promoting crypto-backed loans. The terms seemed almost implausibly generous: low interest rates, instant approval, no credit checks. It appeared to be the miracle I so desperately needed. They required collateral of the full 1.5 BTC. I hesitated, tormented by doubt, but ultimately desperation overshadowed caution. I transferred the funds, clinging to the hope that it would grant us a reprieve. That hope quickly unraveled into a nightmare. The platform vanished. Their website disappeared without a trace. My attempts to reach out were ignored, and eventually I was blocked altogether. In a single heart-wrenching moment, everything I had built all those years of sacrifices was gone. I felt nauseous, unable to sleep drowning in guilt and self-recrimination. I had fallen victim to a scam, and worse, I had endangered the very future I had worked so hard to protect for my children. One sleepless night, lost in a spiral of despair, I came across SOLACE CYBER WORKSTATIONS in an online forum. With nothing left to lose, I submitted their form. I wasn’t expecting much, just a last desperate attempt. To my astonishment, they replied within 24 hours. Their response was warm understanding and entirely free of judgment. They swiftly mobilized a team partnering with blockchain forensic experts to trace the stolen assets and initiate formal proceedings with the involved exchanges. After two excruciating weeks, I received the message I had barely dared to hope for: the full recovery of my crypto holdings. All $1650000 worth of Bitcoin had been retrieved. I collapsed into tears. It felt as though an immense burden had been lifted from my chest. SOLACE CYBER WORKSTATIONS hadn’t just returned stolen money; they had restored my sense of security, dignity, and hope. Their empathy and tenacity were truly extraordinary. In a digital landscape teeming with fraud, they were a rare beacon of integrity. Thanks to all the efforts of SOLACE CYBER WORKSTATIONS, and if you are also a victim, I hope you can reach out to them.  Website: h t t p s : / / s o l a c e c y b e r w o r k s t a t i o n s . c o m Email: S o l a c e . c y b e r . w o r k s t a t i o n s @ m a i l . c o m WhatsApp: ‪‪+ 1 240 743 7689‬
