That’s an incredible photo. All that brain power in one place.
I’m a huge physics buff and love reading as much as I can on all topics of physics, astronomy/astrophysics and math. There is a fantastic string theory podcast on iTunes called “Why beauty is truth - a short history of symmetry” that you should acquaint yourselves with too.

Looked at that photo and all I could think was “If we can see farther than other men, it is because we stand on the shoulders of giants”...
