Abstract

[The first Nobel Prize in Physics awarded at the beginning of the Roaring Twenties was in recognition of stability, of constancy, of certainty. The last Prize of the decade was for one in a rapid series of groundbreaking ideas that reflected uncertainty and, to many, an uncomfortable lack of precision. In the ten years following the award of the 1920 Nobel Prize in Physics to Charles-Edouard Guillaume, a metallurgist from the small Swiss watchmaking town of Fleurier, a scientific revolution would take place transforming our understanding of the structure of matter.]
