— Bertrand Russell

Quantum mechanics has explained all of chemistry and most of physics.

— Paul Dirac

The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom.

— Willard Libby

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why…
