The Early History of Brachytherapy Physics

Many elderly scientists look back nostalgically at the first 30 years

of the 20th century, and refer to it as the golden age of physics.

Historians, however, may come to regard those years as the

dawning of the New Physics. The events which the quantum and

relativity theories set in train are only now impinging on science,

and many physicists believe that the golden age was only the

beginning of the revolution.
