Four different people asked this.
Guys.
I HAVE A CHILD.
BUT YOU DIDN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION. lololol
Famous Physicists as Children
From left to right:
Stephen Hawking (b. 1942) - Most well known for Hawking radiation and theorems involving gravitational singularities. He suffers from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease - and is one of the most well known scientists of our time.
Neil deGrasse Tyson (b. 1958) - Currently the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, Tyson is one of the leading science advocates in the world - and was one of the men who supported the demotion of Pluto.
Carl Sagan (1934-1996) - One of the most successful science popularizers of all time, Sagan was also the bestselling author of Cosmos, one of the most popular science books of all time. He was the first to propose that Jupiter’s moons Titan and Europa may hold liquid components of water on them.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) - The most well known genius in history, Albert Einstein was a boss. During his career, he revolutionized almost every area of Physics, including quantum mechanics and he effectively founded the study of Cosmology. His theory of general relativity has been wildly successful, despite ‘attacks’ by neutrinos.
Richard Feynman (1918-1988) - His most important contributions came via his path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and development of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). Plus, he was a total badass.

natahoy asked: Hi Em! So I was in sydney last week for a holiday and ended up getting a copy of TFIOS, and I found your little note in it! Thank you! It's awesome to be reminded that nerdfighters are real people who don't exist solely on the internet. Also I love your stamp :)
YIPPEE :D That’s great.
I just realised that I haven’t made a post about this yet!
So this is how it went down:
We met up at the Vic statue between QVB and Town Hall at 12pm. I was a tad nervous for unknown reasons but then I got there and everyone turned up and it soon became apparent that we…
OMG OMG OMG OMG I WAS AT THIS :DDDD
iwillalwaysbesher-locked-deacti asked: Hello. My name is Katherine and I found your note in my new copy of TFIOS today. I just thought I'd follow you and let you know that I'm an up and coming nerdfighter who has yet to make their mark. :)
hey :) are you the same katherine that emailed me? nice to meet you friend.
Simon LeVay’s theory of homosexuality in Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why nicely balances solid science and common sense
Deborah Blum, contirbutor
IN THE summer of 1991, neuroscientist Simon LeVay published a paper that would make him famous. It reported a study that clearly demonstrated a structural difference between the brains of gay and straight men. For nearly two decades since, LeVay has been in pursuit of more evidence to support the study’s core implication: that sexual orientation derives from biology, not from personal choice.
I have been looking (not so hard) for this for a while.
What Are The Odds?
What are the odds that you exist, as you, today? Author Ali Binazir attempts to quantify the probability that you came about and exist as you today and reveals that the odds of you existing are almost zero.

We meet again, “two chemicals that should never ever be that close together.”
Ahaha. Lol.
