One of the most famous photos in the history of physics captures the illustrious participants at the fifth Solvay Conference in Brussels, October 1927.
29 physicists, the main quantum theorists of the day, came together, 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners.
One realizes importance of the meeting when it recognizes the faces of Pauli, Schrödinger, Einstein, Dirac, Marie Curie, Bohr, Planck, Lorentz and Heisenberg to mention among the most well-known.
