I see that a great many readers are searching for a clip of Conan O'Brien and Jim Carrey chatting about quantum physics. I posted the clip a few weeks ago, courtesy of YouTube. But I see that NBC has pulled the plug. So, I've saved it onto my own server. Click above or here to download the clip. Enjoy.
Update 12/7/08: The video can now be found here.
this was sent out to the harvard physics department:
ReplyDeleteColleagues,
Jim Carey and Connan O'Brien just did a humorous exchange (Feb 23, 2007) on a PRL that
Lisa Lapidus,
Daphna Enzer and I wrote several years ago (link below). You may enjoy the attached clip
(link also
below).
Jim quotes the title of our "incredible paper" that he was just reading, and then uses
phrases lifted from the
paper, with Conan and the band leader responding in kind.

The link on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqJRwtCeR2s
claims that it has been viewed about 90,000 times and the number
is growing rapidly.
Any ideas about a former Harvard student who knew me and is now writing for O'Brien?
Jerry
Thanks for posting the video!
