One of my favorite stories is from the book 'Night Thoughts of a Classical Physicist.' Oh yeah, LS...oh no, that's not it, or maybe it's not; I'm misremembering. Either it was fiction or I remember it as a memoir from Ernest Rutherford, who first showed how empty the atom is by passing...was it neutrons or alpha particles?
