"Who Got Einstein's Office"
Mar. 13th, 2006 10:41 pmThis book made for a great night's wiki-ing and fancy-seeing-you-here moments:
** Haldane (of the 'an inordinate fondness for beetles' fame) led to my very first Wiki edit.

*** Wolfgang Pauli 'once described an upstart physicist as "so young and already so unknown." If he didn't like someone's idea or theory he'd say it is "not even wrong."'
('Pauli asked him: “Did you see the room number?” It was number 137.')

Less exciting in comparison:
Paul Dirac: Pick a flower on earth and you move the farthest star.
Goldbach's Conjecture: claim that every even number is the sum of two primes.
