Am confident that James Watson did not discover the Double Helix in the way he explained it with actual graph and illustration. I think Him and Maurice Wilkins must have gotten into Roselyn Franklins office and took the picture of her latest work on the Cystography of the protein structure. The idea to possibly steal it from her may have started perhaps with the visit of Ms. Franklin the wife of Wilkins where according to Judson, she brought her latest pictures from the office she is under the employment of these scientist. Heres what I think happened, that after she showed the picture which emerged differently from the negative treated in water, she probably began to doubt if the Alpha Helix story was actually accurate in describing the DNA. The negative showed a double Helix Intertwined on its axle, but Ms. Franklin probably did not know what it meant either did Wilkins wife. But it is clear that these two women suspected something leading me to consider that Wilkins wife betrayed the information to her Husband who may or may not recognized what it meant. Latter on, these two men, Watson and Wilkins were said to have visited Franklins office and after she found out and began to lock it, they found away to break into the office. As suspected from the story, Ms. Franklin had to be fired, and from several sources, a tantrum broke up between Watson and Franklin leading to her dismissal. She must have recognized that the negative was missing for it seems to me that the scientific accuracy of Watsons drawing which a friend of his Francis Crick who was a major in the field did not recognize, was based on what Watson and Wilkins took from Franklins office. I think it was the first and original negative of the new pictures of the DNA which appeared differently and clearly when treated like normal pictures in Water. Put it together, there is a chance that either Watson or Franklin didnt see eye to eye, that Watson suspected Franklin of hoarding information, though by agreement she was not a scientist involved in the same process as was Wilkins, Watson, and Crick, but was at least from all accounts a scientist in her own department. Sharing information was to the process but these men probably did not see her as a fellow scientist or a scientist in their field. Put it differently, the transfer of academic search for the DNA may have started with Bragg and Cavendish, may have shifted to US through Linus Pauling and his work on Alpha Helix, but the final puzzle on the structure of the Helix and DNA which since Oswald Avery was a confirmation that Erwin Schrodingers Script code suggesting DNA or Amino Acid was the stricture and building (genetic) blocks of life and not protein, scientist struggled to decode the DNA. The picture of the Code was made possible through these picture which WATSON, WILKINS AND CRICK, probably did not tell us was possible through a wet process of putting the negative in water. It will be stupid to fail to recognize the efforts of Watson, Crick and Wilkins in transforming molecular biology, a statement of fact confirmed by one my favorite Biologist, Jacque Monod on Crick and Watson, with Wilkins as the most astute of the living biologist despite the suspicion of his role as an English spy, but then there are tons of others of the same category. The exceptional quality and greatness of Watson and Wilkins breakthrough was in the scientific process which they purportedly in discovery a Double Helix or Double Headed Helix, may explain Franklins objection or at least suspicion of the Alpha Helix theory applicable at such level, but from all information at the period seemed to the rest of world that scientific and even prophetic intelligent of Watson to have manufactured the picture which after several picture was made possible there was prove of their scientific breakthrough which I think was perhaps based no such on the grasp of the sciences involved but on the pictures and photo-graphs made Ms. Franklin.
