Letter (Astounding, June 1945): Sorry—You're Wrong. If Hydrogen Is Taken as 1.0, Then Helium Is Not 4.032 but 3.963 Plus. And the Proportion of Hydrogen of Atomic Weight 2 and 3 Is Nowhere Near Great Enough to Give the 1.008 Figure. Further, the Atomic Weight of Hydrogen Can Be Determined by Nonchemical Means That in Effect, Weigh the Gas One Atom at a Time. The Answer Is Still 1.008/16.000ths that of Oxygen, or 1.008/4.000ths That of Helium.
