In my astronomy career I have had my foot run over by Stephen Hawking, had Neil deGrasse Tyson come to my seminar and promptly fall asleep, and stood in an elevator with Roger Penrose where he was wearing exactly the same clothing as the publicity poster on the elevator wall behind his shoulder.

@mattkenworthy I was trapped in an elevator at CERN with Nobel Prize winner Carlo Rubbia in 1975. I learned a lot—but not what you might think.

@ASegar thank you, that's an interesting story! I get the impression that Professor Penrose would have been quite calm if the elevator had been stuck.

@mattkenworthy @tantramar So that isn't Timothy Dalton?

@Drwave @mattkenworthy He’s a master chameleon. Clearly. 🙃

@mattkenworthy that sounds like the makings of an illustrious career indeed.
