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!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteThat cat in the middle obviously runs the show...
ReplyDeleteOf 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!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
