The Personalities of Quantum Theory

The 1927 Solvay Conference in Brussels, Belgium, brought together the world's leading quantum physicists to discuss "Electrons and Photons." Of the 29 conference participants, 17 were or would eventually become Nobel Laureates. A recently discovered video clip, shot by Irving Langmuir - the winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1932 - captures 21 of the conference members. A beautiful thing.
