But I must regretfully decline. The Lamb–Retherford experiment was experimental physics. And Solid State theory would not be fundamental physics. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/statu...") |

|content=On January 21 1946, McInnes suggested to [[Frank Jewett]] a radical conference based around the UNTESTED young people rather than the failed leaders. As head of the [[National Academy of Sciences (NAS)|National Academy of Sciences]], Jewett allocated a grand total of...wait for it...$1500 for a conference in Long Island. | |content=On January 21 1946, [[Duncan McInnes|McInnes]] suggested to [[Frank Jewett]] a radical conference based around the UNTESTED young people rather than the failed leaders.

|content=That isn't the issue. The issue is that the leadership is not passing the baton and there are no McInnes or Jewett figures. And professors now don't even know this history it seems! Don't they teach this in Physics class? Maybe it's too dangerous to learn how physics works. ;-) | |content=That isn't the issue.
