Shame William Bragg's father wasn't in the shot too - two brilliant men in the field of Xrays, and both Australian (well, Dad retained British citizenship). William's brother Robert was killed at Gallipoli.

I have had a print of this image on my refrigerator for the past 10 years, nothing like this has happened since 1927.

Such people would see the ideas/language as totally foreign, and pass by in blissful ignorance. "Funniest Home Videos" is a documentary, after all

Trinity College, Cambridge can boast a total of 32 Nobel Laureates from their Alumni (including several of the Solvay attendees) - but I don't think they ever got them all into one room at the same time!

As one of our students said: 'You could cook an egg on all that brain-power.'
And they were gathered to discuss the interactions between photons and electrons - nothing relevant to the running of our modern society
