Nobel Laureate

[shootme]

I had the great opportunity and pleasure yesterday (3.Dec.09) to attend the 50 years of Nobel Memories in High-Energy Physics, from the Proton Synchrotron to the Large Hadron Collider in a lecture room at CERN here in Geneva Switzerland. I'd like to share with you here 3 photos I took of one of several Nobel Laureates present at this occasion. His speech was great, even though I didn't understand a single word (I'm a finance guy). He spoke with such humility and feeling I was humbled. There were at least a dozen Nobel Laureates (in Physics) there so the cumulative I.Q. levels must have been quite high, everyone else pretty much was either a Professor or Doctorate of some type (me included by the way J). Anyway I was moved by the sheer presents of such genius and thought some of you might be interested to see one of the Nobel Laureates; Jack Steinberger who gained his Nobel prize in 1988 with the discovery of the Muon Neutrino along with L. Lederman and M. Schwartz. I even feel intelligent writing this stuff I have no idea about. Anyway, here are the shots, hope you like them.

Cheers, Shootme

He even has a "Einstien (to intellegent to care about appearances) Look", the hair, suit, and the tie. Just looking at the photos of him makes be feel like a mental midget. I think you captured the subject just about right. I like the third one best, where he appears to be lecturing.

Well Bill, now that you mention it. Before starting his presentation, he excused himself for his old age frailties and also mentioned he was wearing a black tie as he unfortunately was attending a funeral of a very close friend of his after the lecture, yep even I felt sad for him, knowing that one day even we will see our close friends pass away. Actually he wasn't really delivering a lecture, but a synopsis of his discovery, which led to his Nobel Prize.
