Il Bodoni di Higgs

Florian Cajori made the first X-ray photographs west of the Mississippi soon after hearing of Wilhelm Roentgen's accomplishment in Germany. He apparently read of the work in the February 5, 1896 issue of the local newspaper. The requisite equipment was already in his lab - a Crookes tube and a Rumkorff coil. Within hours Cajori was showing x-ray photographs to his advanced physics class.

"L'(n+1)esimo libro della fantascienza è un ebook collettivo. Sono 622 pagine di racconti, qualche disegno e un paio di poesie; il Commodoro Isola Virtuale ha fatto la copertina anche quest'anno, lo credevamo impossibile ma si è superato. L'(n+1)esimo libro della fantascienza si scarica gratis, come al solito, nei tre formati elettronici classici: per gli amanti delle ere passate, in pdf (in A5, ma vi sconsigliamo di stamparlo); per tutti gli altri pensatori del futuro, in epub e in mobi."

Richard Feynman, Gell-Mann's chief competitor for the title of the World's Smartest Man but a stranger to pretension, once encountered Gell-Mann in the hall outside their offices at Caltech and asked him where he had been on a recent trip; "Moon-TRAY-ALGH!" Gell-Mann responded in a French accent so thick that he sounded as if he were strangling. Feynman -- who, like Gell-Mann, was born in New York City -- had no idea what he was talking about. "Don't you think," he asked Gell-Mann, when at length he had ascertained that Gell-Mann was saying "Montreal," "that the purpose of language is communication?"
