Glenn T. Seaborg quotes

Glenn T. Seaborg was an American chemist renowned for his pioneering work in the discovery of several transuranium elements. His research contributed significantly to the development of the modern periodic table. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and left an enduring legacy in nuclear science. Here are 5 of his quotes:

There is a beauty in discovery. There is mathematics in music, a kinship of science and poetry in the description of nature, and exquisite form in a molecule. Attempts to place different disciplines in different camps are revealed as artificial in the face of the unity of knowledge. All literate men are sustained by the philosopher, the historian, the political analyst, the economist, the scientist, the poet, the artisan and the musician. (Glenn T. Seaborg)

These considerations illustrate clearly that one of the problems is that of conceiving means for producing nuclides of sufficiently high mass numbers with half-lives long enough for chemical identification. Thus, the serious problem is again the paucity of starting materials.

I suppose that I should say a few words with respect to the possibility for future production and identification of additional transuranium elements.
