First Quantum Conference
“The 1927 Solvay Conference, Brussels. Twenty-nine physicists pose on a stair. Foreground shows Einstein, Bohr, Curie, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, and Pauli arranged for the famous photo; midground reveals Hendrik Lorentz seated as host; the wood-paneled Institut de Physique gleams as the founders of quantum theory pause from the most consequential argument in modern science.”
