Many scientists will have to contribute to the solution of the great problem; they will have to follow up and measure all those phenomena in which the atomic structure is directly expressed. ↗

There are certain people who have become better artists, but they're brilliant at marketing. I think someone who's been phenomenal like that is Madonna. ↗
