Photos of Physicists’ Blackboards Reveal The Ghosts Of Theorems Past

Photos of Physicists’ Blackboards Reveal The Ghosts Of Theorems Past:



Alejandro Guijarro snaps chalk scribbles left behind in the best physics departments in the world.



Physicist Richard Feynman helped build the atom bomb, won a Nobel Prize, and became one of the most famous scientists who ever lived. But even a physicist of Feynman’s stature admitted to grappling with quantum mechanics, famously saying that “I think I can safely say that nobody understands [it].”

Spanish photographer Alejandro Guijarro, fascinated by the philosophical implications of the most challenging branch of physics, has spent the past three years visiting research institutions to photograph their work. But Guijarro doesn’t shoot the professors or students. Rather, at each university he visits, he waits until everyone has cleared out of the lecture hall and then gets to work, snapping beautiful images of the blackboard scribbles they leave behind.
