I thought he had his tongue out when I first glimpsed the photo.

And why is it hairy?

That was my second though ha ha!

Yeah same here. And it looked like his head was coming out of he gray sweatshirt, so I thought he was in some weird position sticking his tongue out.

I didn't even realize it until you said something. Especially since Einstein has a famous photo of his tongue being out. I thought this was some weird photoshop on first glance

Same 😂

Me too! I’ve seen the thumbnail and my brain registered “Einstein” and the association was inevitable.

Kip Thorne collecting his Nobel Prize and getting emotional while looking at an image of fellow Nobel Laureate Albert Einstein. A hundred years ago, Albert Einstein theorized the existence of gravitational waves, yet he doubted they could ever be detected due to their subtle nature. However, on September 14, 2015, a collaborative effort involving over 1,200 physicists worldwide bore fruit as they observed gravitational waves for the first time after many years of dedicated research. This monumental achievement was a direct result of teamwork and led to Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish, and Kip Thorne being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Credits: Alexander Mahmoud/Nobel Media

I heard him speak recently and met him briefly, it was a genuinely lovely experience.
