The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the

universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The

player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair,

and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake,

or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has

thought.

It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation which could be relegated to anyone else if

machines were used. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz

Trying to determine the structure of a protein by UV spectroscopy was

like trying to determine the structure of a piano by listening to

the sound it made while being dropped down a flight of stairs.

-- Francis Crick [British molecular biologist, 1916- ]

"Chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost maniacal impulse to seek their

pleasures amongst smoke and vapour, soot and flames, poisons and poverty, yet amongst all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that I would rather die than change places with the King of Persia." -- Johann Joachim Becher,

Physica subterranea (1667)

... chemistry is a trade for people without enough

imagination to be physicists. --- Arthur C. Clarke in The Trigger,

1999, p. 410 (paperback edition)

Note: Clarke was a chemist.

New Element?

Politicium (Po) Contains a great deal of gas. Similar to radon in that it can reach lethal concentrations in

the House.

New Element?Cabmium Cb

Found in abundance, except when needed. Exists in two states, in

motion and at rest. When in motion, it cannot be stopped, no matter what you do. Cabmium has a charge associated with it. The

charge is variable, and scientists have not determined the formula for

calculating it.

The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The

ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New

York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.

-- Albert Einstein
