Last year Caltech's Carl David Anderson noticed some ion tracks which implied impacts from Theorist Dirac's light protons. Before the Royal Society last fortnight, Dr. P. M. S. Blackett, 35, tall, pale member of Lord Rutherford's platoon of physicists who work in Cambridge's Cavendish's Laboratory, produced 500 pictures of positive particles answering the same description.
