Tour of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Thomas Hawk writes "Last month Robert Scoble and I were able to do a video/photo shoot of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) with SLAC Emeritus Bebo White. SLAC is both the longest and straightest building in the world and is the home of three Nobel Prizes in physics. There is also a video tour available; part one and part two."

    Nothing shouts serious, professional scientist like the name Bebo.
    As opposed to these physicists:

    Zoltán Lajos Bay
    Neils Bohr
    Gerd Binnig
    Fritjof Capra
    Hippolyte Fizeau
    Tsung-Dao Lee
    Thanu Padmanabhan

    Because nothing says scientific rigor like thinking that someone's name, because it is different for cultural or other reasons, has anything to do with their scientific ability.

    I know, you were 'making a funny' -- but one would think that your average scientifically-interested slashdotter wouldn't... oh wait. Never mind.
