    The two photos are not duplicates. Interesting.

    Bach, do you know the circumstances under which the photos were taken? Or if they are cobbled together in some way?

      Schrodinger, Pauli, Heisenberg, Dirac, Bohr, Planck, Curie, Lorentz, Einstein.

      Out of the 29 names in the B&W photo, those nine are ones whose work I have some familiarity with. Below I list the things that first came to my kind when I see those nine names.

      :::

      Schrödinger’s cat
      Pauli’s exclusion principle
      Heisenberd’s uncertainty principle
      The Delta Dirac function
      Bohr’s atomic model
      The Planck constant
      Curie with her radiation thing
      Lorentz function/transformation
      Einstein’s theory of relativity

      :::

      Just for fun, without looking things up, what comes to your mind for those names when you think of them?

            I call mine little Albert, so you're right, it is interesting.

            I was only joking

              An older friend of mine took a graduate chemistry class at Harvard with only 2 other students, one of whom was named A. Einstein...as in Alfred Einstein - close but no cigar.

                  Fifth solvay conference. 1927.

                  From Wiki: "The Solvay Conferences . . . have been devoted to outstanding preeminent open problems in both physics and chemistry. They began with the historic invitation-only 1911 Solvay Conference on Physics, considered a turning point in the world of physics, and continue to the present day.

                  "Perhaps the most famous conference was the fifth Solvay Conference on Physics; held from 24 to 29 October 1927, the subject was Electrons and Photons, and the world's most notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr . . . Attendees Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and Erwin Schrödinger would be listed among the top ten greatest physicists of all-time, in a 1999 poll of leading physicists for Physics World magazine."

                    Most of them would have voted for Trump. Both elections.
