   Newton, Einstein, and Gell-Mann. Is that Bach behind Gell-Mann?

   @drona: Looks like Beethoven to me….

   I remember reading "The Quark and the Jaguar" with great interest when I was in high school. It wasn’t the source of my interest in particle physics, but it was certainly one step on the way.

   distinguished company indeed…

   last night i watched the theoretical physicist Lee Smolin on the BBC’s Hardtalk (site not updated to contain programme yet) discussing over-eager consensus reached upon superstring theory, which he believes is leading to sloppy and self-congratulatory thinking – quite interesting, and at points hilarious as Stephen Sackur (the political journalist) struggles to ask intelligent-sounding questions 🙂

   I like this comment from Murray Gell-Mann, that beauty and elegance are highly correlated with truth. I hope you will enter this elegant image in the 2008 – "FIRST – THE EARTH!" Photo-ART Competition Exhibition, in CAT. # 9 – ‘FACES OF THE EARTH!’, and we’d love to have your photo added to the group pool & EXHIBITION.
