Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #1 Posted by Frank Boehm (Germany) on 5 Sept 2012, 10:35 a.m. 29 Scientist I think even *watching* the crowd would have been beyond amazing.

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #2 Posted by Namir on 5 Sept 2012, 1:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Boehm (Germany) The group is awesome. As a chemistry-lover I think Marie Curie was very special. In a "romantic" way, we are the intellectual inheritors of these scientists. I feel often challenged to think outside the box and push the limits, even to small extents! If you want to see what I mean, come to HHC2012!! Namir

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #3 Posted by Ethan Conner on 5 Sept 2012, 2:24 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Boehm (Germany) A very elite group. Most of my physics books have this picture. As intelligent as this group is the photographer still couldn't get everyone to look at the camera. Lol...... I can hear it now "everyone! look here please! hold it.....hold it.....snap.....you in the top row! oh well i'm out of film....thankyou everyone we're done here."

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #4 Posted by Gilles Carpentier on 5 Sept 2012, 3:26 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Boehm (Germany) There is Auguste Piccard in the upper left .... He was a great scientist who love science "in situ". I think he would have embarked on Curiosity Quote: When Auguste Piccard landed with his balloon on a glacier, journalists gave him notice that it was very dangerous to venture into the stratosphere without mountaineering equipment! Piccard replied that if so he also would have take a tuxedo in the case he would have landed on the Palais des Festivals in Venice Auguste Piccard Entretien radio Edited: 5 Sept 2012, 4:18 p.m.

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #5 Posted by Eddie W. Shore on 5 Sept 2012, 3:59 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank Boehm (Germany) This is a beautiful picture. A job well done by mygrapefruit. Marie Curie blazed a trail for women in science. Glad to see Einstein! Edited: 5 Sept 2012, 4:01 p.m.

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #6 Posted by Manolo Sobrino on 6 Sept 2012, 12:35 a.m., in response to message #5 by Eddie W. Shore Meh... Those red and pink ties in 1927? Maybe Pauli (not in the picture) and Schrödinger would wear that, but Heisenberg...

Re: Off topic: Scientist Mob Message #7 Posted by BruceH on 6 Sept 2012, 2:53 a.m., in response to message #6 by Manolo Sobrino Agreed. Not so much colorized, as "changed to sepia with a splash of color on ties and hat bands".
