Seth Putterman is a heavy hitter in the physics world. I had him in for a one hour talk on sono-fusion and he was the best speaker of the series. He showed up with a three inch stack of transparencies (everybody else shows up with a laptop and powerpoint) and asked me how long the talk should be.

I told him an hour, he said he came prepared to talk for three and laughed. During the talk he would speak about the current overhead and leaf through his stack for the next without ever losing the thread. It was an amazing talk.

During the Q&A someone asked about a dispute concerning a refereed paper in Science and his involvement. He asked that the cameras recording him be stopped and we of course complied. He then answered the question in a most amusing manner.

Great man, great speaker. I'd bet there is something here.

Good post.

I was never a big Star Trek fan, but wasn't their ship fueled by some sort of crystal? Wouldn't it be hilarious if a goofy 60s TV show was smarter than all the mooseheads at M.I.T.?
