This is a video clip taken at the Solvay Institute, where a conference
was being held to discuss the recent findings in Quantum Physics. |
Most of the main players are there; There is a well-known picture which was taken
of all the attendees, but I wasn’t aware that a video existed - it’s
a little spine-tingling…Youtube 3 minutes |
