Peter D. Mitchell was a British scientist awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1978 for his work on the chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis. His groundbreaking research on the mechanisms by which cells generate energy has had a profound impact on biochemistry and molecular biology. Mitchell's contributions to our understanding of cellular energy production have been instrumental in advancing the field of bioenergetics.
"Moreover, in the experimental sciences, the scientific fraternity must test a new theory to destruction, if possible."
"The final outcome cannot be known, either to the originator of a new theory, or to his colleagues and critics, who are bent on falsifying it. Thus, the scientific innovator may feel all the more lonely and uncertain."
