Scientists Hit the Jackpot by Chris Orr MBE RA

“Scientists hit the Jackpot” incorporates a selection of great scientists strutting their stuff. Archimedes getting into his bath, nearly treads on a young Einstein discovering his famous formula. Copernicus stares into the heavens on a very rickety platform. Mary Anning is gathering fossils and Pythagoras is playing with his hypotenuse. My thoughts are about the magical moments of discovery for both artists and scientists. Schrodinger, bottom right-hand corner, speculates on whether the cat is really in the box. I share his worry.
