"Thermodynamics, correctly interpreted, does not just allow Darwinian evolution; it favors it. — Ludwig Boltzmann

Rutherford scattering & some organic molecules


Rutherford scattering
It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life. It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you — Ernest Rutherford
Lactate
The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body. — Dmitri Mendeleev.
