I like this Niels Bohr quote:

"If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet"

Old and interesting thread. Mr. Pass talked in post#10 about his study of the Mossbauer Effect and NMR. These two spectroscopy methods in 1973...were hot/essential topics for research at the University of Illinois [Champain/Urbana]; as pursued by Profs Hendrickson and Drago. I resided in Drago's lab on the third floor of Noyes Lab which housed a 60 MHz. vacuum-tube NMR machine[JEOl].

Both sperctoroscopy methods are heavily steeped in derivations and interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.

Interestingly, years later I sold amplifiers to the University of Texas for driving
prototype NMR scanner coils. They needed high speed, high voltage, high current,
high precision.

= high price.......

Fascinating; you/your power amps advanced the highly valuable methodology of today's MRIs. The electronics repair shop at U of I during this era modified the heat sinks of big Tigersaurus power amps for NMR service. They became water-cooled. I'd stop by periodically and chat with the operator [Saladin] and admire the amps. He'd told me he picked his/this uncommon last name [I asked about] from a phonebook!
