Instead of focusing on the finding itself which was unanimously regarded as a long sought after breakthrough both scientists and the media got obsessed with who should deserve the credit, whether one, two, four or six people should win the prize. We found that the beautiful discipline of physics was being torn apart by this constant bickering. It was no longer about the science, it was a beauty contest. - Lars Brink, the chairman of the Nobel physics committee.
But since the real hero of the story is the ____ itself, why not take human beings out of the equation altogether? We therefore decided to honor the one thing that really matters in this whole story.

Question 16 Who is X?
On X's 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, UPI photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, X did something else instead. This photograph became one of the most popular ever taken of X, often used in merchandise depicting him in a lighthearted sense. X enjoyed this photo and requested UPI to give him nine copies for personal use, one of which he signed for a reporter. On June 19, 2009, the original signed photograph was sold at auction for $74,324, a record for an X's picture.

Question 18
When a spinal manipulation is performed, the applied force separates the articular surfaces of a fully encapsulated synovial joint, which in turn creates a reduction in pressure within the joint cavity. In this low-pressure environment, some of the gases that are dissolved in the synovial fluid leave the solution, making a cavity, which rapidly collapses upon itself, resulting in a gas bubble made mainly of carbon dioxide which then goes pop. A commonly felt experience on a day to day basis, what are we talking about?

Question 20 X ?
X has been used to demonstrate the second law of thermodynamics. The law describes a process known as entropy, often taken to be a measure of "disorder". After Xs fall from his wall, and the subsequent shattering of his environment, the inability to put him together again is representative of this principle, as it would be very highly unlikely, though not impossible, to return him to his earlier state of lower entropy, as the entropy of an isolated system never decreases.
