Robert Andrews Millikan was an American physicist awarded with the Nobel Prize for the measurement of the charge on the electron and the studies of photoelectric effect. He of course believes in science, and scientific method as the key driver of development (he even believes that it will be applied to the government’s conduct too. Yet blindly foresees no further significant developments in physics, his native territory (‘we’ve learned it all’ sort of thinking), and instead bets on biology.
