The field of quantum valence fluctuations was another older interest which became much more active during this period, partly as a consequence of my own efforts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My interest in matters more directly concerned with the handling of particles was growing, in the meantime, stimulated by many contacts with people understanding accelerators.
I'm fascinated with quantum physics.
I am fascinated by quantum physics.
I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.
In the late '30's when I was in college, physics - and in particular, nuclear physics - was the most exciting field in the world.
I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.
On my return to Pittsburgh, I resolved to go back to the fundamental problems of electronic structure that I had contemplated abstractly many years earlier.
This discovery convinced me of the power of crystallography and led me to continue in this field.
It was at this moment that I wrote my first important paper in theoretical physics. I was 32 years old, 5 years beyond the alleged age of senility for theorists.
Bose and Einstein had triggered low-temperature experiments that have led to the discovery of new matter. I owe my work and my Nobel to them.
