I made this sort of a leaflet for BBC Radio 3 Copenhagen to remind you that if you haven’t listened to it yet, you can still do it here (until 23 June 2020).
*a couple of words about the play and some bits of the interview about it with Benedict - under the cut*

In honour of @un-ionizetheradlab being back and me having some FOMO about everyone else's MP posts, here are some of my favourite pages/doodles from the Copenhagen Faust parody written by Max Delbrück.
(Pauli, naturally, was Mephistopheles)
Oooh! I gotta check this out! (And pull up google translate and/or learn German...!)
I had no idea there was a Copenhagen Faust parody! Seems like there's a rich history of people writing fics about physicists <3
Also obligatory tag @faeking-it for the Faust mention!
So there were some words here I don't know, my German is very basic and rusty, so I ran it through the translator as well, thus, it is somewhat butchered, however... The translation is under the cut:

i know this post will pertain mainly to people interested in world war science stuff (which i assume is a very niche audience). but like. i don't get why people think of the infamous conversation between bohr and heisenberg as this We Are Enemies conversation. in my mind, at some point heisenberg got cold and bohr gave him his coat and they hugged it out like buddies to continue fighting after.

the physics students
as requested by the wonderful @starferns
- the chalkboard at the front of the lecture hall, covered in equations and graphs
- visualizing a problem in your mind, step by step
- cold water with ice cubes and a slice of lemon
- diagrams drawn hastily on the corner of your paper, scribbled lines and half formed thoughts
- replicating famous experiments and demonstrations
- watching youtube videos late at night, picking apart complex theories
- having an instinct for force diagrams and direction of motion
- rushed, messy handwriting
- finding beauty in motion and calculation and precision
- seeing the universe as unimaginably small and unimaginably large at the same time
- a well-worn grey sweater, frayed a little at the sleeves
- equations scribbled on your arm until you know them by heart
- studying newton and meitner and plank, all those who went before
- talking with your hands, forming the shapes of arcs and trajectories as you work through a problem
- long hallways and cold, sunny days
- late night study groups
- staring up at the sky, knowing exactly why and how the planets move as they do
- trying einstein’s thought experiments
- an old grandfather clock, pendulum measuring the passage of time
- pages filled with calculations and precise strings of digits

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I would have LOVED to see that
three types of people
Maybe quantum physics is different in a universe where a mob boss built a working supercollider that could create portals to other worlds in 2018
@abominablesnowdude's tags are too good to let vanish

this always makes me emotional

What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? And they not both saying: Hello?
