Hi Grammymoo,
My boy just got back from a trip to Germany, Gottingen. It seems as it has quite a history in the Physics community. About the turn of the century it was one of the hubs of intellectual pursuit in physics. I think Einstein was influenced by some of the work they did and although a little older, some of them must have been peers of him, and may have even reviewed his papers. My son is an enthusiastic stock holder. Non of his assoiciates at work, they work extensivley with lasers, really know about POET yet. I told him it might be fun to mention POET to them. Especially as the next couple of weeks might be really active with POET. Cheers. Bt
