[ANGLAIS] MQ1 : Mystery Quotation #1

[deep_turtle]

Bonjour,

A titre d'expérience (dans un premier temps), et suite à une proposition de Phys2 et mmy, voici la "citation-mystère", un fil ludique permettant à ceux qui le désirent de travailler leur anglais scientifique. Les deux règles sont simples :

1/ Ecrire en anglais

on peut faire des remarques en français sur la langue anglaise, corriger cordialement un autre intervenant, mais en le mettant dans une balise SPOILER

2/ Trouver l'auteur et les circonstances de la citation proposée. Si tout simplement vous savez, mettez la réponse en SPOILER aussi, en laissant un peu de temps à tout le monde de participer !

Have fun, here we go !

who ordered that ?

This question was asked by a famous physicist. Who, when, and what did he mean?

No hint to start for this first one!

Hi there !

I do not remember the answer right now, but I do remember it was about the growing number of particles in the decade 1930-1940. Namely, people thought they had found what would later be called a Goldstone boson, but what was actually observed did not interact strongly

I think it is Isidor Isaac Rabi

[deep_turtle]

OK, that was an easy one for physicists I guess...

Well, let's hope Phys2 will still agree to play with us !

[Gwyddon]

Yep yep, I got it too

Rabi isn't it ?

Actually, If he had waited a little more years, he would have been quite happy with the quarks

Hello everybody

I knew this quote was pronounced about an expected particle, but I didn't remember which and who exactly

PS : Sorry if I slaughter the english language
