On Truth & Reality
The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) in Space

I divided my time between courses, experimental work, and study in the library. In the evening I worked in my room, sometimes very late into the night. All that I saw and learned that was new delighted me. It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty. ... During these years of isolated work, trying little by little to find my real preferences, I finally turned towards mathematics and physics, and resolutely undertook a serious preparation for future work.
(Marie Curie, who travelled from Warsaw to Paris to study in 1891)

I noticed the grave and gentle expression of his face, as well as a certain abandon in his attitude, suggesting the dreamer absorbed in his reflections.

Marie Curie, also known as Marya Salomee Sklodowska, was a true Pole. She was under the rule of Russians which forced the Poles to speak and learn the Russian ways. In her early childhood people just called her Manya, not Marya. But as she grew older her sister, Bronya, and her decided to save up enough money and move to France to become doctors. When Manya moved to France, just to blend in she changed her name to Marie, and then got married to a man Pierre Curie, which changed her last name to Curie.

Marie Curie: a Quest for Light

Personal note from the author

"On a personal note, Marie Curie has been in my life always. As I wrote in the book, she and Pierre never took a patent on radium. By 1920, the price of one gram (!) of radium was US$ 100,000, a price she could not afford. A female American journalist (Missey Maloney) learned of this and started a fundraising in the US to buy the gram for Marie’s laboratory at the Radium Institute in Paris. As receipt of this gift, Marie agreed to travel to the US – a back-breaking tour. Everyone wanted to see her. In 1929, Marie’s sister Bronya, a Polish physician, wanted to create a similar Radium Institute in Warsaw. Bronya sold bricks to raise money for construction. But again the problem of money arose to buy radium. So there was a new fundraising in America. This time Marie set limits to the extent of her travels. One of the few places she visited was Henry Ford’s celebration for the 50th anniversary of his friend, Thomas Edison’s, electric light bulb in Dearborn, Michigan.

Marie was a superstar, especially for the Polish com
