Nobel Prize for the Big Bang? |
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Americans John Mather and George Smoot won the 2006
Nobel prize for physics on Tuesday for work on cosmic radiation that
helped pinpoint the age of the universe and added weight to the Big Bang
theory of its birth.
Trivia question of the day:
How many Smoots long is the Mass Ave bridge?

364.4, plus an ear. But that's Oliver, not George.

Thank you for the link. However, the "SMOOT-D Digest V99 Issue #23" says
that it was the Harvard Bridge, which is incorrect. It is the Mass Ave
bridge.
