Quotes

• “In general, the rate of evaporation (m) of a substance in a high vacuum is related to the pressure (p) of the saturated vapor by the equation m=\sqrt{\frac{M}{2\pi RT}}p. Red phosphorus and some other substances probably form exceptions to this rule.”
• “To me, [it's] extremely interesting that men, perfectly honest, enthusiastic over their work, can so completely fool themselves.”
