1921 Photo of Great Scientists Double Take!
In news I am sure will shock you, I was looking over some Wikipedia articles today and I cam across an old photograph from 1921 of a large group of famous scientists. I have to admit, I thought the picture had been photo shopped or something due to the gentleman in the front center of the picture (click for larger view or use this link):
From left to right are: three unidentified men, David Sarnoff, Thomas J. Hayden, Ernst Julius Berg, S. Benedict, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, A.N. Goldsmith, A. Malsin, Irving Langmuir, Albert W. Hull, E.B. Pillsbury, Saul Dushman, Richard Howland Ranger, George Ashley Campbell and two unidentified men.
The odd looking fellow in the front was Charles Proteus Steinmetz, who had a long and distinguished physics career.
I don't know, but this picture just grabbed me.
Have a good night.

That's neat!
Great!
That cat in the middle obviously runs the show...
Of the men pictured, the greatest is Tesla. That man revolutionized radio in ways most people don't understand. And the band named after him isn't too bad either.

As far as Einstein goes, his theory of relativity, while influential, is questionable. I'm not much for Eintein or Darwin or Newton. The essence of science is that any theory, no matter how well established, must be questioned in the light of new evidence.
I'm more of a Grosseteste, Leibniz and Lorenz kind of guy. These men understood chaos and complexity theory before the science was even invented. I'm more of a Chaucer, Blake and Whitman kind of guy, for the same reason. But that's just me.
It's good to see you back, GYC. You're Patriots showed something the other night. My Cowboys suck. Oh, well, such is life.

Gawains, yes Tesla was a rare genius. Yeah, the Patriots showed a high school secondary LOL!
when ever I think of 1929. I think of the depression bread lines homelessness.
We were slightly less impressed with the recent lap-tops from companies like Toshiba, and the result is
nothing short of gorgeous.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

This design is steller! You definitely know how to keep a reader
entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and
more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
awesome blog!
