Who was Enrico Fermi?
Enrico Fermi was one of the most creative physicists of our times. He was best known for his contributions to nuclear physics. Fermi also loved to think up and to discuss questions which involved a rough estimate of a quantity which would be difficult or impossible to measure directly (i.e., how many drops of water would fit into Lake Erie or how many donuts would fit into a swimming pool).
