FG: MAFIA 31: Nobel Laureates of Doom

[Jon Miller]

It has been 100 years since Albert Einstien wrote 4 groundbreaking papers in physics (about special relativity, brownian motion, and the photoelectric effect). As such, this year was declared the World Year of Physics 2005.

At one of the festive conferences, many of the worlds great physicists attended. Among them were:

1. Alexei A. Abrikosov
2. Anthony J. Leggett
3. Gerardus 't Hooft
4. Steven Weinberg
5. William D. Phillips
6. Carl E. Wieman
7. Frank Wilczek
8. David J. Gross
9. Robert B. Laughlin
10. Zhores I. Alferov
11. Douglas D. Osheroff
12. J. Georg Bednorz
13. Russell A. Hulse
14. James Watson Cronin
15. Joseph H. Taylor Jr.
16. Klaus von Klitzing
17. Robert Woodrow Wilson
18. Arno Allan Penzias
19. Kenneth G. Wilson
20. Sheldon Lee Glashow
21. John Robert Schrieffer
22. Leon Neil Cooper
23. Murray Gell-Mann
24. Brian David Josephson

and just a repeat of the apolytoners playing these great men:

1. Kass
2. rah
3. -Jrabbit
4. Nikolai
5. Spaced
6. Snotty
7. Whoha
8. Adrian Hon
9. Skanky
10. Adagio
11. DrSpike
12. Hercules
13. reismark
14. civman2000
15. Lord Nuclear
16. Sparrowhawk
17. joncha
18. Jonny
19. Ben Kenobi
20. DarkCloud
21. Vlad Antlerkov
22. duke o' york
23. Tuberski
24. paramir

The 24 of you are the nobel laureates invited....

(note that I am not at all implying that nobel laureates might be mafias or that anyone is going to die)
(also note that I am not making any pretty table, someone else do that)

[Tuberski]

Damn! I look like Kissinger's younger brother.



ACK!

[Nikolai]

E=mc^2

[Kassiopeia]

I look so... Russian.

[joncha]

I am clearly teh innocent.

[Adagio]

[Skanky Burns]

You know, quantum fluid really excites me. Fractionally.

[civman2000]

Wow! I've actually heard of the great discovery I made!

(although if I could be Arthur Holly Compton instead I'd like that, even though he's dead...)

[Kassiopeia]

This avatar actually suits me - in a very bizarre fashion.

Gerardus 't Hooft
Quote: "Isn't that " 't " in my name the coolest thing ever?"

Award: The Nobel Prize in Physics 1999
"for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics"

...and about time, I might add!

(Just wondering...)
Are black holes elementary particles? Are elementary particles black holes? I was stunned to learn that Hawking's result would put black holes in a category fundamentally different from any ordinary form of matter. If that were so, then what exactly are the laws of physics for black holes? The answer is that present theories are inconclusive. They clash. They lead to a paradox...

Very nice,
Anthony J. Leggett
I actually took some physics classes at the Univeristy of Illinois. Looking at the dates, I wasn't there when he was, but a good selection non the less.

[Whoha]

This guy is a bigwig at MIT apparently(or atleast a faculty member there if not in charge of that portion of the universe.)

[Tassadar500]

Could someone make a PLUS size avatar of Joseph H. Taylor Jr.? My computer is on the brink of death.

[rah]

OK
