Strange Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I don't know how this title gets awarded (and how much money goes with it). I assume there is some sort of secret conclave where decisions are made. Or something. Anyway, I would like to nominate Markus Hanke for this title. This is for both his in-depth knowledge of GR (and, in future, QM) and also his ability to explain complex ideas very clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Yes, it crossed my mind too but I don't know what I don't know. He's certainly a good written communicator. Edited July 31, 2016 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We spent the last 100k on Mordred. OK technically we spent it on Cheez Nips and cheap Portuguese wine at one hell of a party to celebrate. But from now on we cannot pay staff cos we are completely broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatfaal Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Good thing we're grandfathered in, eh? Yep - just lie back and watch the spondoolicks roll in whilst the late joiners do the work - sounds like the stock markets* * Not that I would ever imply that the stock markets are at present a high-end functioning ponzi with the pension funds / 401ks acting as a the payout to the old money. NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We don't have a standard procedure for selecting our experts. If we appointed everyone who deserved it, staff would outnumber regular members on most days. We'll talk about Markus though, thanks. We're very grateful for so many great minds to choose from, and we don't thank you all enough for being so free with your time and knowledge. Thanks ∞. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
