  • Richard Norton said:
    Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld, ForMemRS (German: [ˈzɔmɐˌfɛlt]; 5 December 1868 – 26 April 1951) was a German theoretical physicist who pioneered developments in atomic and quantum physics, and also educated and mentored many students for the new era of theoretical physics. He served as doctoral supervisor for many Nobel Prize winners in physics and chemistry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Sommerfeld

Einstein at the Grand Canyon

  • Ken Erfurth said:
    According to the book "The Panoramic Photography of Eugene O. Goldbeck", this photo came about by sheer co-incidence. Goldbeck was there at the same time that Einstein and his wife were visiting and he convinced the couple to pose for a photo with the Indians in front of the Hopi House. A copy of this photo was also located inside a display case inside the Hopi House when I visited in 2013, but the date of the photo was misidentified on the label and Goldbeck was not identified as the photographer. I spoke with the manager, who was totally unaware that Goldbeck had taken the photo and of his stature in photographic history.
