Charles Wilson, physicist, Nobel Laureate,
who invented the cloud chamber.
Rutherford described the cloud chamber as 'the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history.‘
A cloud chamber is a sealed container of water vapor that has been supercooled and supersaturated.
When a charged particle enters the chamber,
it ionizes the vapor, causing it to condense within the chamber leaving a visible trail.
Observation of the properties of these trails
can provide information about the type of particle that caused them.

A LESSON FROM A NAMESAKE
It’s late 1990,
Tim Berners-Lee,
starts telling Ian Ritchie about his proposed system
called the World Wide Web
And … he didn’t buy it.
A short story about information, connectivity and
learning from mistakes.
