He was also a champion cross country runner in his youth.

Weiss incorrectly believed that an "i" at the end of a name meant "like" in French. In
Weiss magneton larger than the value obtained by Weiss. At the First Solvay Conference in November that year, Paul Langevin obtained a submultiple which gave better agreement. But once the old quantum theory was a bit better understood, no theoretical argument could be found to justify Weiss's value. In 1920, Wolfgang Pauli wrote an article where he called the magneton of the experimentalists the Weiss magneton, and the theoretical value the Bohr magneton. Despite theoretical problems, Weiss and other experimentalists like Blas Cabrera continued to analyze data in terms of the Weiss magneton until the 1930s. Weiss magneton The Weiss magneton was
