“A physicist is just an atom’s way of looking at itself.” -Niels Bohr
There’s a wonderful story that the Universe tells us about itself: the story of where everything in it came from, and how it came to be this way. From the perspective of a human being, there’s possibly no component of that as important to our existence as the humblest of all building blocks: the atoms.
