I think it's the other way around, as long as there are experimentalists that keep on pushing the boundaries, there will be some eyebrows raised.

If you Google "physics Brussels", Solvay is prominently there! And in stead I went for something that couldn't possibly be it, because it's standing in a park and you can't see any park in your pic... The building "Lycée Émile Jacqmain" is actually also in a park, LeopoldPark : http://blogsimages.s...

It might be useful to observe this paragraph in context. - Wittgenstein had (how can I say this respectfully) problems with seeing the importance of math in relation to other facts of life. - Math indeed is not prefect, but there is no application of math (in the sense of bridges and so on) in real...

Either my appearance is to distractive, or you guys are blind, simply not interested, or don't like beer. But after two clear hints and I don't feel generous anymore and I'll just post the answer. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Solvay_conference_1927.jpg/800px-Solvay_confer...

I can feel it, thanks, you are an angel

Actually that hat is my souvenir of the Grand Canyon. Since it has accompanied me on several epic holidays and has become my "Epic Hat", I might take it with me if I ever get a chance to visit the LHC. Back to the quiz - since you're from Brussels, how about the Atomium? The hat is cool it makes yo...

I got an other reply to my TLP & Radon question: Thank you for writing about your interesting question. I presume you contacted me on the basis of our paper, Cheng, Y.-S., T. D. Holmes, T. G. George, W. H. Marlow. 2005. Size measurement of plutonium particles from internal sputtering in air. Nuclear...

Nope, btw I gave a hint.

Because it was cold, can't you see the snow

I sure am.

Proverbially speaking, I sometimes fear that I might be right, otherwise I do enjoy the speculation and the grandeur of a catastrophic event, it tickles my imagination.

Sorry, I'm not good at comforting people.

Also, rumors have it that for greater efficiency one should wear the tinfoil as a hat... Hey March, now I get the picture why you are posing with a hat ;) Chelle: NARUTO ! Oh sorry... Off topic... ye, of course, I've got a 9 tailed demon in me, and I look a bit like him, especially when I was young...

I saw this topic already for some time, and I didn't now what "Tinfoiltards" meant, so I just looked it up, and Oh-oh I think I might be one. Cause my computer-space at home is shielded off by Tinfoil!!! Perhaps this the reason that I keep asking questions, while all you others have been subliminall...

Check out also this video of him, Richard Feynman talks about the O ring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qAi_9quzUY Wouldn't he been even more magnificent if he had came up with this before the disaster: It found that the Challenger accident was caused by a failure in the O-rings sealing a joint on...

Interesting article in news.sciencemag.org (Don't know if it's already mentioned somewhere on the forum.) You've heard the controversy. Particle physicists predict the world's new highest-energy atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, might create tiny black holes, wh...

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this debate in a tiny philosophic book between the man who invited your computer (T) and a man called Wittgenstein (W): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hia3UngKtqY/S6ioOp7jywI/AAAAAAAACGM/FcmOyLCHtGc/s1600/Turing.jpg Apparently the little book is also published on the...

It says on the wiki-page: One possibility is that electrodynamic effects related to the fracturing of near-surface materials could charge any gases that might be present, such as implanted solar wind or radiogenic daughter products. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_lunar_phenomenon#Electrosta...
