”One day Geiger came to me and said. 'Don't<br />
you think that young Marsden whom I am<br />
training in radioactive methods ought to begin<br />
a small research?' Now I had thought so too,<br />
so I said, 'Why not let him see if any<br />
alpha-particles can be scattered through a large angle?'<br />
The result was quite extraordinary.”<br />
Rutherford, Lecture in Cambridge (1936)
