DNA: Luis Alvarez

Luis Alvarez, the ideas man

Luis was the son of “America’s doctor” and “America’s doctor” was born to another famous doctor. His auntie was a famous artiste of course.

Luis was mentored by the Compton scattering guy. The Compton scattering guy “proved” onestone’s quantum...

Compton taught Luie the hustle quite well. He even taught Luie how to find cosmic rays with some Geiger counters and a wheel barrow...

“When the recent nobelist Arthur Holly Compton arrived at chicago and learned of Luie’s success with Geiger tubes, he proposed that they work together to determine the nature of the primary cosmic radiation. so with six of his tubes mounted one next to the other in a wheelbarrow, Luie found himself ensconced on the roof of a mexico city hotel whose high altitude and low latitude were favorable to catching these solar cosmic rays. Using the earth’s field as a magnet and alternating the detector array to face east and then west, he demonstrated that the particles, later to be known as the solar wind, prefer- entially came from the west and so possessed positive electric charge, and thus were most likely protons. when not engaged with his wheelbarrow, Luie attempted to make contact with attractive local girls who proved to be unresponsive to his blandishments because of his nonexistent spanish.
When Luie returned to chicago, he became the first author of a major discovery paper in particle astrophysics, a subject he only returned to late in his career. Compton’s generosity toward his graduate student was faithfully practiced by Luie throughout his life when handing out recognition to his collaborators and students”

Compton would later tap his protégé for the Manhattan project because Luie was a natural hustler...

“That Luie’s nuclear physics self-education program had succeeded was demonstrated when Hans Bethe published his three-part “bible,” summarizing all that was known about nuclear physics and predicting much of what was unknown. Luie studied this monumental work with great care but with even greater skepticism, or as Bethe later wrote, “mainly to prove me wrong” (trower, 1987, p. 25). specifically, Bethe predicted that helium-3 would be radioactive and hydrogen- 3 would be stable. Using the cyclotron as mass spectrometer, Luie found just the opposite to be the case. Bethe noted that nuclei could cannibalize their innermost atomic electrons but was discouraged about the prospects that the effect would ever be seen. Luie experimentally demonstrated nuclear K-capture. Bethe despaired that the magnetic moment of the neutron, a fundamental constant, would prove to be beyond measuring. Luie measured it, and Felix Bloch calculated its value.”

Luie is famous for his detectors especially his bubble chambers. But Luie also came up with the bright idea to muon a pyramid with cosmic rays. He didn’t find shite but his technique was successful in the year 2017 per the ridiculous narrative...

Luie was also a great particle accelerator maker. He worked on his good friend, Ernest Lawrence’s, cyclotrons. The atom smasher made the calutron girls famous in Tennessee...

Luie and the atom smasher made the bevatron that pulsed the famous liquid hydrogen bubble chambers that Luie and Donald Glaser are credited for. Luie got the radio tubes for his accelerator from his time working at mit’s rad lab. This is when he got to meet his good friend Arthur C. Clarke(another ideas man of course). Glaser would win the hustlers academy award and would go on to start the first biotech company. Eukaryote Mullis invented pcr so Glaser’s company could sell more oligos of course."

After his time at the mit rad lab Luie was tapped to build the detonator for the plutonium bomb. Luie famously delivered the gadget to Tinian. Tinian was the last stop for the USS Indianapolis of course...

Luie’s device was successful and Luie was lucky enough to be tasked to ride on the ‘Great Artiste’ to film and detect the radiation level produced by his successful nuke...

After the war Luie got into the particle chasing game full time with Lawrence and Glaser. Luie’s wife was his best scanner girl and his bubble chambering partner’s wife was his of course. When Luie and Glasers’s ole ladies picked out an enticing squiggly line they sent it to a computer. The computer was programmed by Art Rosenfeld and senator Taft’s son...




Scanner girls would be used at cern as well...

This is when Luie got famous. He was a director of Hewlett-Packard and started multiple businesses making optics for med/bio firms. I reckon this when he got interested enough in biology to introduce Geo Gamow to Watson and Crick. And the rest was rna tie club history...

“Weiner:
Well, to be exact, because I remember very well this day, I was for some reason visiting Berkeley and I was walking through the corridor in Radiation Lab, and there was Luis Alvarez going with Nature in his hand (Luis Alvarez was interested at this time in biology) and he said, "Look, what a wonderful article Watson and Crick have written." This was the first time I saw it. And then I returned to Washington and I started thinking about it, and then I published this. This was the first paper, "Possible Relation between Deoxyribonucleic Acid ..."
Weiner:
And put the helix on the ties? Let's get the whole story. Let me ask first: You said you were visiting Berkeley and you saw Alvarez with a copy of the article, and he called it to your attention, showing that Watson and Crick had come up with the structure of DNA.
Gamow:
Yes.
Weiner:
Had you been following these developments beforehand?
Gamow:
No.
Weiner:
You knew about DNA, though?
Gamow:
No, I didn't. I don't think so.
Weiner:
So why was it so evident to you as a physicist who had first been concerned with nuclear physics and who was then concerned with astrophysics—why was it so apparent, just looking at this article, that this was an exciting thing, that this was something to be done.
Gamow:
I don't know. Maybe because Alvarez was excited.
Weiner:
You see, that's the kind of question that it would be good to know about.
Gamow:
I don't know. Well, I like it very much, and so I went home to Washington ... I was just in Berkeley for a short visit—and started thinking how one can get this to make the amino acids. And there were 20 amino acids. As a matter of fact, there were 22. Biologists always think there are 22. Two probably are mistakes. And it turned out to be a mistake because the extra two were actually formed after it was incorporated. I've forgotten about it, but at this time it was strong argument: "It's not 20; it's 22." I was trying to think how one could make 22 out of four, and then I found these triangles and triplets and ...
Weiner:
What physics did you bring to it? Was there any similarity ..
Gamow:
No physics, just mathematics.
Weiner:
Yes, but was there any similarity between this problem and other problems that you had dealt with in physics before?
Gamow:
I don't recall.”



The cosmos club, smh. Geo was quite the hustler as well. His ballet dancing son’s narrative is fun too.

But whatever, unfortunately, the founder of RKO’s son pretended to get shot in the melon. So Luie had to “prove” that a watermelon can be pullled in the direction of the projectile that hits it. He worked with a famous nuclear test photographer on the project but I haven’t had any luck finding the old video about it.
Luie “solved” the melon problem by accounting for three masses and not just the bullet and the watermelon. Luie added the jet of brain matter to the equation. His findings were good enough for Walter Cronkite I reckon...

Luie went back to his businesses with Jack Lloyd after he solved JFK’s misfortune on the psi symbol in Dallas. He also got some of his protégés going in the happe mission during this time. A couple of them won Nobels which naturally means they were hustlers of course...



Then Luie decided to make his son famous by helping him figure out that the dinosaurs were killed by a giant asteroid. The “proof” was in the iridium of course...


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvarez_hypothesis

Luie was also tapped to write Alfred Loomis’ obituary because they were great friends. Loomis was great friends with all the great psientists. They’d hang out in Tuxedo Park. Loomis gave us loran which I reckon is what gps passes for now and he developed bubble cavitation which creates a shite-ton of heat and makes a pretty blue light exactly like the pretty blue light that we’re told is the result of Cherenkov radiation at the bottom of reactor pools. Bytheway, Loomis basically owned the entire electrical grid back in the amorphous day of course...

...Luie eventually died but his spirit lives on thru the likes of Stanley, the father of the famous Wojcicki sisters...
