===Louis Witten interview=== '''[[Louis Witten|Witten]]:''' ... I wanted to tell you something about Richard Cox. You mentioned Richard Cox. He did a lot of things, but he also did some experiments in [[condensed matter physics]]. He discovered an anomaly which wasn't consistent with physics. It couldn't be explained. It wasn't at all consistent, and he was told his experiment was wrong, and he knew that his experiment was right. So he published it, and it was an anomaly in the literature. Some years later, it was discovered that parity wasn't conserved, and his anomaly was non-parity. It's well known now by many people that his experiment was the first experiment that would have shown parity wasn't conserved if they had interpreted it correctly.<br/> '''[[Dean Rickles|Rickles]]:''' But he didn't give that interpretation; he just thought there was something strange.<br/> '''Witten:''' That's right. But he knew that his experiment was right and that people were trying to tell him that his experiment was wrong.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview of Louis Witten by Dean Rickles and Donald Salisbury on 2011 March 17|website=Oral History Interviews, American Institute of Physics|date=19 November 2015|url=https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/36985}}</ref>
