| Nobel Prize Winner Steven Weinberg |
I'm attending the Joint Conference between the National Society of Black Physicists and National Society of Hispanic Physicists.
I met Dr. Weinberg, and thanked him for signing my only copy of "The First Three Minutes" when I was a graduate student in Astrophysics at the University of Texas (I have a hardcover copy; the most recent prints are paperback or Kindle). He even remembered me.
You can't help but be captivated by someone that discusses the universe with the same causalty as a water cooler conversation.
He also briefly mentioned the news reports of Neutrinos moving faster than c. Zapper Z pointed out a typo. Dr. Weinberg said something funny about the efficacy and accuracy of news reports these days.
It's not often you get to listen to a living legend...
