[net.physics] Lord Rutherford on alpha particles

chongo@nsc.UUCP (Landon C. Noll) (03/08/84)

"After working with alpha particles for over 30 years, it's funny
 to be told that the alpha particle is an illusion.  I don't mind
 so long as I am allowed to have my illusion concentrated in a
 very small space!"

				Lord Rutherford - 1927
