A group of European scientists have made a reprise of the iconic Solvay photo taken in 1927.

In 1912, the first Solvay Conference took place in Brussels, at the initiative of Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay. The fifth edition, in 1927, became world famous because of the photograph that was taken of the participants. The photograph has also been called ‘the most intelligent photograph ever taken’. We see a group of 28 distinguished-looking gentlemen and a woman, also distinguished-looking. The absolute scientific elite of their time in physics and chemistry. Curie, Lorentz, Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Planck, Pauli, Heisenberg, Dirac and many more famous names.
