The man sitting around the table third from the left is Ernest Solvay.He has the white beard. The founder of Solvay.

Madam Currie and Albert Einstein are also in the picture. Can anyone find out which people they are?

Yeah that looks like it was taken at the Solvay International Physics Council of 1911, I believe. Madame Currie is at the table looking pensively over some documents with Raymond Poincaré. While Einstein stood behind them. I didn't know Earnest Rutherford was there as well. Brilliant!

I was there with my top hat (top hat picture of me) but they computered me out of the picture because the hat drew to much attention to me. I then went off to the side and had that now famous picture of me made.
