CosmoCoffee

I'm going to give a talk on this year's Nobel prize in two weeks to non-physicists, and was hoping people here could help me out -- are there any good collections of fun cosmology (or physics) quotes and/or cartoons out there somewhere? I've found a few, but more is always better :-)

Thanks!

My talk about nobel prize winners, given to general physicists audience (rahter than general public) can be found here

It is in silly slovene, but you can think of it as a collection of images that need caption... ;)

I don't know of any collections, but here's a recent comic

There are some good astro/cosmo cartoons among the Far Side series, e.g. pre-COBE era when people were skeptical about predictions going down from 10^-3 to 10^-4 to 10^-5 to .... and technical problems before the final launch was made. As long as you're using a copy for educational/research use, there should be no problem with copyright AFAIK under the fair right principle, though IANAL.

Hi, just found this nice link :

There's also the famous quote from Lev Landau
"Cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt" that we all
know about... ;-) Yeah, that's too easy.
