As a physicist, I can say that there is no more EPIC PHOTOGRAPH that has ever existed nor will ever exist as the one below. These are the rockstars of physics. Groupies would have passed out at the sheer greatness of this group. It is a miracle that they all didn't spontaneously create an event horizon with egos and animosity some of them had for each other..... that photographer should have been awarded a Nobel prize for Peace. hehe
