When I was about 4 years old, I attempted to perform my first physics experiment. It failed miserably.

Now 56 years later, after receiving a doctorate in physics from a premier university and 35 years of professional experience in world-class laboratories, I attempted to repeat the experiment.

Believe it or not, it failed again, for the very same reason!

A second attempt a few weeks later was ultimately successful. To see the original inspiration and the latest results, go to the next page by clicking here.
