I've been doing history and philosophy of physics for some 40 years now and that's what I continue to do,” said Allan Franklin from the University of Colorado. “Most of my work has been on experimental physics and most of it, experimental particle physics. I do have one experiment, which I love, because people don’t remember it and should. It's by Ellis and Wooster in 1927, and it doesn’t get mentioned very much in physics books, physics textbooks. And it should be remembered, because it led to an important—the experiment led to Wolfgang Pauli, a theorist, introducing the idea of the neutrino which, of course, has become part of the furniture of the world.
