It was a glimpse into some kind of wonderful world where electricity and mathematics and engineering and nice diagrams all came together.

The Nobel Prize, so long regarded in our science as the highest reward a man's work can earn, must bring to its recipient a most solemn sense of his debt to his fellow scientists and those of the past.

I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes.
