Llewellyn Hilleth Thomas and Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi first theorized in 1927 that they could calculate the energy of electrons in motion based on how electrons are distributed in a material. Knowing that kinetic energy of electrons in a material helps researchers understand the structure and properties of new materials, as well as how they might respond to physical stress.
Thomas first saw the chalkboard with the formula, and asked, "is this fer me?"

Thomas first saw the chalkboard with the formula, and asked, "is this fer me?" He asked Werner Heisenberg, who was uncertain.
Cheers!
