Such influences are now generally accepted as proved. It is the problem of sunspot correlation with such human affairs as stockmarket trends that leads out on the limb of speculation...
Research on the atom has attracted some of the most brilliant minds of contemporary science, and atomic history is strewn with the names of Nobel Prizewinners. Aged Sir J. J.

Their atom was, and still is, a nucleus surrounded by electrons. But in the 1920's, with the powerful searchlight of relativity illuminating the atomic field, it became apparent that the picture of the electron as a simple particle of negative electricity...
