Nobel Physics Laureate, Felix Bloch recalled, Gary L. Wolfstone, Seattle trial lawyer, Seattle Constitutional lawyer

Mr. Wolfstone was born in Spokane and he has lived in Seattle most of his life. He was educated at Whitman College where he studied a broad spectrum of Liberal Arts and majored in Economics before entering Harvard Law School.

While he was undergraduate at Whitman College, Mr. Wolfstone was fortunate to study physics under Dr. Walter Brattain, Phd., who was one of the three scientists at Bell Labs who received the Nobel Prize in 1956 after constructing the first transistor in 1947.

Another Nobel Laureate, Felix Bloch (Physics, 1952), fondly recalls an encounter with his mentor, Dr. Heisenberg, which is recorded for posterity in Physics Today, December 1976, Vol. 29, No. 12, pp. 23-27.

Said Bloch, "I have discovered that space is a matrix of linear forces." Bloch had just read a book entitled Space, Time & Matter.

"Nonsense!" replied Heisenberg. "Space is blue, and birds fly through it."
