Charles Townes' research produced the MASER, which led to the LASER! He invented the fucking laser! 

I got to have conversations with Nobel Laureate  Professor Charles Townes (

). In his later years he worked with Sir John Templeton's foundation on intelligent design. When I found out I asked him about it and he said, "Tennessee, of course there is a God!" He used my real name. And he blew my mind.
