@kornellster actually... no two people in the video are employed by the same university/institute i think... most of us work in and around berlin but two guests work in warsaw and dartmouth (hope i spelled that right...)...
@KenArrari ... um... exactly what we do in the video... we sit around and feel stupid until we go crazy and blow stuff up... but the second part is more like a conjecture, whereas the first part is a definite fact.
@KenArrari Depends on the type of theoretical physics and how well it's going. When it's going well, I sit in my office, look out at the tree, chew my pen and contemplate the nature of the universe and do maths. When it's not going well, I bit my pen in half, get ink all over my mouth and scream a little bit.
Wow!! Homo Sapiens es!! :-D

Physics really is a total headbutt sometimes.
Undergrad: "Why are you doing physics?"
"Because it's really cool! I think it's a great way to help the world and it's really amazing!"
Honours: "Why are you doing physics?"
"Well, it's really quite interesting and very important."
Postgrad: "Why are you doing physics?"
"I really don't know anymore."
