John Bachall and Raymond Davis Jr. were two collaborating researchers who strictly believed in their work on discovering neutrinos. It took much persistence and patience to collect only 12 particles a day that would reach the Earth from the Sun.
I think the type of person needed to perform this type of research needs to be patient, determined, and open to all types of information (positive or not). This person has the ability to get excited about the smallest piece of positive information and being able to take really pieces and assemble them into a grand puzzle. Doing research as gigantic as this takes much thinking and working through mistakes, which this type of researcher would have to have. "It was just plumbing on a very big scale."
Lastly, I think for this type of research, the men has to be extremely motivated in order to obtain that much money to conduct their experiments. They had to publicize their work in such a positive manner that epople would WANT them to discover the answers they were searching for.
