	A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Lawrence invents the cyclotron
		When Ernest Orlando Lawrence (1901-1958) got his PhD in physics, the hottest topic was bombarding the atom's nucleus to see what new particles it might produce.
		Ernest Rutherford had only recently shown that striking the atom of one element could make it emit electrons and turn into a different element.
		With a larger magnet, Lawrence's team was able to produce 80,000 electron volts in 1931, and later the same year, with a 25 cm cyclotron, 1 million electron volts.

		Ernest Lawrence’s discovery and development of the cyclotron was an important advancement in modern physics because of its contributions to mankind, including components necessary for the nuclear bomb and radiation therapy.
		The epistemology which lead Lawrence to investigate the workings of the cyclotron, to discriminate between various ideas and possibilities the one idea that would be fruitful, was not that of the scientific method, trial and error, or of other human inventions and devices of discovery.
		This shifted E.O. Lawrence’s thoughts for a time to the war and the horrific idea that his discovery could lead to a bomb entered his mind.

		At that time, particle accelerators---devices used to shoot electrons, charged protons or ions at atomic nuclei---were linear: that is, the particles were shot at the target by a burst of static electricity along a straight path.
		Lawrence and others realized that they could give the particles muchgreater speed within a smaller space if they could build momentum by whirling them in a spiral before releasing them.
		Lawrence himself pioneered the use of radiation to combat cancer (he successfully treated hyperthyroid), and paved the way for the isolation of Uranium-235 (which allowed the U.S. to create the atomic bomb).
