I always quote the Nobel Prize winner Isidor Rabi, who said that when he was growing up in New York, all the Jewish mothers would ask their children at the end of a school day, Did you learn anything today He said his Jewish mother asked him every day, Did you ask a good question today It was that which made him a scientist. I get goose bumps thinking about that. 

When Isidor Isaac Rabi was a graduate student at Columbia University in the mid-192 Os, his eye was on Europe, where intellectual fireworks were illuminating the minds of physicists, animating their discussions, and entertaining their ambitions. This was not the situation at Columbia University, where only a sputtering roman candle occasionally lit the corridors and laboratories of the physics building, Pupin Hall. In 1926, the contrast between European and American physics was like that of the grand finale of a major pyrotechnic display and a simple sparkler.

The muon was discovered in 1937 by C.D. Anderson and S.H. Neddermeyer. Its lifetime is about 2.2 10 s. The muons belong to the lepton family (with the electron and t particle, the latter with a mass equal to about 3640 electronic masses). Nature created, for some unknown reasons, " more massive electrons . When the nuclear physicist Isidor Rabi was told about the incredible mass of the r particle, he dramatically shouted Who ordered thatVr.
