Picture of the highest IQ per square meter on earth. Really.

fifth solvay conference on physics, 1927
For the science geeks among you - this picture, taken during the fifth conference on physics organized by Ernest Solvay in 1927 has (hold your breath) Einstein, Schrodinger, Pauli, Heisenberg, Bragg, Dirac, Broglie, Bohr, Planc, Madam Curie, Lorentz and Langmuir, among others. More at Astroseti. (If the anecdote about Einstein and Bohr at the botom of the post on Astroseti leaves you scratching your head, blame it on machine translation. Here's the anecdote described in english.)

awesome picture!
Tht conference has a lot of history, and if i am not wrong, it was a conference where einstein was wrong (on uncertainty principle) and did not buy the views of the young(er) scientists like hiesenberg and pauli.
