When I was there, there was practically no equipment. I spoke to Rabi. A little earlier Felix asked Debye for comments on an idea he had, since it concerned improving an older paper of Debye's on the Compton Effect. The laboratory — down in a light well under a glass roof—was closed.
I mean a particle in that sense, a real particle. To me it served only as a stimulus to ideas. But you didn't consummate the second half.
Besides science he loved music, literature, nature, and particularly mountain climbing and skiing. I was young, and for the next year I knew what was going to happen to me, and one did not look too much into the future.
Journal Club meant, of course, that people should tell what they have read, what they read in the journals and tell it to others; but this of course happened often in Europe, too. I called them all by their first name, and the moment they didn't understand something they would ask and we would have discussion.

We scraped together the last thousand dollars.
This illustrates how he worked things out for himself and how his work always had a very personal viewpoint. Once this paper was published, once you had completed the paper, was it clear then that your next piece of work would be to follow this up and to try first of all to do it and then to...? advice, Bloch followed him to Leipzig to start graduate work there with Werner Heisenberg, who had just been appointed professor of theoretical physics at the university. Rev. "Well," I said, "I don't know what's involved." 1935 With P. A. Ross.
That came right when I came back. I left Los Alamos and joined then a group at Harvard at the Radio Research Laboratory, which worked on defense against radar. No, in the spring of '32 I went back to Leipzig.

How did this manifest itself? 1957 Generalized theory of relaxation.
On one beautiful day we took a téléférique to the top of a mountain called the Rigi, which. It was a good time I had in Cambridge. Let me ask a general question. There was always some background that was growing in that direction. As I say, physicists knew each other? I had a very close relationship to Heisenberg, and I was happy to do my first teaching at the University of Leipzig. Now that's much, much later. There was nothing aggressive in their attitude at that time.
Then, as you say, their style of thinking: the fact that one can approach physics from very different angles was a great revelation to me. Yes, of course and with Rabi. Staub and Stevens, who is now at Pennsylvania. The reason I ask that is that in this interim period you knew you were going to Rome, and I would think that then you would wonder what would happen after Rome, or after Cambridge which would have been the other half of your fellowship. Because then in 1947, after we had established these high polarization effects with Condit, and the nuclear induction was working, it began to become a tool. We felt that some sort of a standard moment should be used in conjunction with measurements of the Bureau of Standards.
He was rather reluctant at that time. In fact, gasoline was cheap, too, at that time. Electronic theory of the cylindrical magnetron. He came with a fellowship—I don't remember which fellowship. That is to say, if the relaxation time is two seconds, and nothing else complicates matters, then one should be able to measure frequencies down to one-half of a cycle per second approximately. What about the style of teaching? Even so, when he went to Geneva, he took along Stanford equipment, and he and two colleagues, Jim Arnold and Wes Anderson, continued nuclear induction experiments. The name "Felix" means "lucky," and it was a propitious way to start out in life with this name.
By the time you got there it was well organized, though. Have you maintained contact in a policy-making or advisory position in any way? Gradually it grew as more people came, but it was always centered around the one man whom we invited. It's misleading then when one looks at your biography and your resume to assume the European contacts ceased, because here you were very close to Pauli in '35 and '37. It wasn't either. With R. I.
