Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

6. Bubble chamber (Wilson's version was called a cloud chamber)

I'm not very good at Pub Night (often completely flummoxed, actually). Purely as a result of the path of an energized particle of luck, I'd just happened to see Wilson's name and invention mentioned three days ago -- in a book about particle physics.
