A Party of Famous Physicists One day, all of the world's famous physicists decided to get together for a tea luncheon. Fortunately, the doorman was a grad student, and able to observe some of the guests... • Everyone gravitated toward Newton, but he just kept moving around at a constant velocity and showed no reaction. • Einstein thought it was a relatively good time. • Coulomb got a real charge out of the whole thing. • Cavendish wasn't invited, but he had the balls to show up anyway. • Cauchy, being the only mathematician there, still managed to integrate well with everyone. • Thompson enjoyed the plum pudding. • Pauli came late, but was mostly excluded from things, so he split. • Pascal was under too much pressure to enjoy himself. • Ohm spent most of the time resisting Ampere's opinions on current events. • Hamilton went to the buffet tables exactly once. • Volt thought the social had a lot of potential. • Hilbert was pretty spaced out for most of it. • Heisenberg may or may not have been there. • The Curies were there and just glowed the whole time. • van der Waals forced himeself to mingle. • Wien radiated a colourful personality. • Millikan dropped his Italian oil dressing. • de Broglie mostly just stood in the corner and waved. • Hollerith liked the hole idea. • Stefan and Holtzman got into some hot debates. • Everyone was attracted to Tesla's magnetic personality. • Compton was a little scatter-brained at times. • Bohr ate too much and got atomic ache. • Watt turned out to be a powerful speaker. • Hertz went back to the buffet table several times a minute. • Faraday had quite a capacity for food. • Oppenheimer got bombed.
