It is a matter of threes . . .

Happy Birthday to Jerome Isaac Friedman (born March 28, 1930), physicist.

"A professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jerome I. Friedman won the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard E. Taylor and Henry W. Kendall for a series of experiments (1967-73) that showed that protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles of matter but are composed of smaller particles known as quarks." direct quote source (1)

"Innovation is the key to the future, but basic research is the key to future innovation." - Jerome I. Friedman
