“We can only hope that what the geneticist J. B. S. Haldane posited on the cosmos will prove not to be true for the nucleus: “ ‘Now, my suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. If we appropriately bear in mind that the nucleus may be more complicated than we may have once thought, and yet just may be knowable, then this very belief may empower us and our students and successors to penetrate the subject’s awaiting depths, the next of which now beckon. There is every reason to believe in this program. So let us be of good cheer.’ ”
