All of mankind, not only the readers of this Journal, is now fascinated by the laser. The process of many preceding physics discoveries beginning with Einstein (Zürich lecture, printed 1916, see A. Held, General Relativity and Gravitation One Hundred Years after the Birth of Einstein, Plenum, New York, 1980, Vol. 1, p. 17–21) and how this earth shattering discovery was not recognized by the giants in science is really a process of “how it happened” and the fact is: Charles Townes is its creator. Since there were some dark clouds through which this discovery of our century (next to the quantum theory and the theory of relativity) had to finally shine through, it is a revelation to now read what its creator has to say; modest, quiet, but true and fascinating.
