The real goal of physics is to come up with an equation that could explain the universe but still be small enough to fit on a T-shirt

Theorists write all the popular books on science: Heinz Pagels, Frank Wilczek, Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman, et al. And why not? They have all that spare time.

We hope to explain the entire universe in a single, simple formula that you can wear on your T-shirt.

By the grace of AEC, BNL, God, Green and Hayworth (alphabetical order), we should see neutrinos.

I sometimes think about the tower at Pisa as the first particle accelerator, a (nearly) vertical linear accelerator that Galileo used in his studies.
