Walther Bothe quotes
-
“Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei.”
-- Walther Bothe -
“Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.”
-- Walther Bothe -
“The Laboratory for Radioactivity consisted of only two rooms at the time; at a later date, when tests of radioactive substances became more extensive, it expanded into four rooms.”
-- Walther Bothe -
“In this case, the particle formed has correspondingly less energy, whereas the product nucleus passes into the ground state with emission of the quantity of energy saved as gamma radiation.”
-- Walther Bothe -
-
“To demonstrate this simultaneity is by no means trivial, because it may for example happen that the product nucleus always forms in an activated state at first.”
-- Walther Bothe -
“Strict conservation of energy in the elementary process had thus been confirmed also by a negative experiment.”
-- Walther Bothe -
“The material particle nature of primary cosmic radiation has been confirmed, although the processes turned out to be extraordinarily more complicated than we had assumed.”
-- Walther Bothe
-
“There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.”
