		In particular Millikan's ability to recognize and select which of his data were the most trustworthy put him ahead of Ehrenhaft who indiscriminately used all of his data and therefore came to the wrong conclusion.
		Describing some of Millikan's data selection as the operation of his "intuition" rather than as "reasoning" implies that Millikan could not articulate all of what he recognized when he recognized that something was amiss with some of his experimental observations.
		Millikan's statement makes sense only as a denial that he has dropped data points.

	physics - Quantum mechanics
		Experiments have been taken as confirming that quantum mechanics is correct and the real world cannot be described in terms of such hidden variables.
		Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment disproved the plum pudding model of the atom which suggested that the positive charge and mass of the atom are almost uniformly distributed.
		Clyde L. Cowan and Frederick Reines confirm the existence of the neutrino in the neutrino experiment (1955)

	Millikan, Robert Andrews: 1868-1953
		Millikan was the only physics graduate student and it was at Columbia that he earned his PhD degree.
		Millikan's deep devotion to cosmic-ray research was the foundation for establishing a research team at the California Institute of Technology which made the most basic of these discoveries.
		Millikan was fascinated and dedicated to the challenges of educating the general reader.

		This is One of the Most difficult ideas to understand about the nature of Quantum systems.
		There are some interpretations of Quantum mechanics that do away with the concept of "wavefunction collapse" by altering the concept of what constitutes a "measurement" in Quantum mechanics.
		See the Bohr-Einstein debates The Everett many-worlds interpretation, formulated in 1956, holds that all the possibilities described by Quantum theory simultaneously occur in a "multiverse" composed of mostly independent parallel universes.
