I visited Copenhagen frequently after the war. At one point, I gave a talk in Copenhagen, and then afterwards we met with Bjerrum. Bjerrum was a chemist and a great friend of Niels Bohr… Bohr said to him: “You know, what these people do is really very clever. They put little spies into the molecules and send radio signals to them, and they have to radio back what they are seeing.” I thought that was a very nice way of formulating it. That was exactly how they were used. It was not anymore the protons as such. But from the way they reacted, you wanted to know in what kind of environment they are, just like spies that you send out. That was a nice formulation. - Felix Bloch -
