that if a tiny piece of incense is burned, it can be smelled throughout the room. As the room is significantly big- ger than the space the incense initially occupied, the initial piece has to be divided [...] the scattering of alpha particles, which came from radioactive radon-222 and were directed at a piece of gold foil. The scatter- ing of the alpha particle should have only been de- flected by one or two [...] parts. These calculations were intended to show how small the particles have to be that form the piece of incense (see Beer & Pricha 1997). Such a dis- cussion, however, remained on the level of simple
