SOLVAY
CONFERENCE, 1927 :: Perhaps the most famous conference was the October
1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons,
where the world's most notable physicists met to discuss the newly
formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and
Niels Bohr. Einstein, disenchanted with Heisenberg's "Uncertainty
Principle," remarked "God does not play dice." Bohr replied, "Einstein,
stop telling God what to do." Seventeen of the twenty-nine attendees
were or became Nobel Prize winners, including Marie Curie, who alone
among them, had won Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines
