A Meeting... for Science!

    Six of the seven Great Investigators of Science were sitting around the dimly lit conference table, each from a different country: America, Britain, Russia, Germany, India, and China were all represented. Paintings of Great Investigators past hung about the walls, some very old. In the dim light, the paintings almost looked ominous. The seventh Investigator, of Japan, was standing at the front of the room, pointing emphatically at something on the projector screen. The scientific elite (including myself) from all nations were gathered to be a part of this once in a lifetime event. After fifty long years, it was again the time of the age-old meeting of the Fraternal Order for the Edification of Mankind.
