I have used this Enrico Fermi quote as my signature for another of my
email addresses for years. He was an Italian nuclear physicist who came
to the University of Chicago just before the start of WWII. He and his
team built the first controlled nuclear reactor under the U of Chicago
football stadium to proved the concept of nuclear fission.
