Quotes by John S. Rigden (?)

“Continuous energy incident on discontinuous electrons fails in the photoelectric effect. However, when the light energy is concentrated in a single particle-a single light quantum-that light
quantum can collide directly with an electron, impart all or part of its energy directly to the electron, and immediately send it flying out of the metal. Discontinuous energy incident on discontinuous electrons succeeds.”
― John S. Rigden, Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness

“There is a disturbing fact about current science. If a contemporary journal editor received a manuscript from an unknown clerk working in a nondescript place, that editor would, in all likelihood, reject it, possibly without even reading it. Yet Einstein, an unknown clerk working in a nondescript place, produced one of the most significant and beautiful manuscripts in the history of physics.”
― John S. Rigden, Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness

“The fine-structure constant derives its name from its origin. It first appeared in Sommerfeld's work to explain the fine details of the hydrogen spectrum. ... Since Sommerfeld expressed the energy states of the hydrogen atom in terms of the constant [alpha], it came to be called the fine-structure constant.”
― John S. Rigden, Hydrogen: The Essential Element
