As I get ready to start physics grad school in three weeks, I just found this article about how a famous quantum mechanics experiment was - apparently - the result of a bad cigar 
Figured y'all would enjoy it.

Thanks for posting that, I'll get into a bit more after my coffee. What branch of physics are you heading into?

Wow that was so many words! I read the caption on the cigar picture though haha.

I should have majored in physics.

interesting read....
it was a bit difficult to read through though, being that i hate physics and this crap was way over my head.
its interesting that they re-did the experiment 80 years later because it sounded too far out there.
