Think back to what you believe is the most outstanding accomplishment to evolve out of Physics Forums originality.

Of all our Physics Forums, of all our posts and threads, of mentors, advisors and members, what are the distinguished, real-breakthrough scientific discoveries that we have generated?

Has anyone published or contributed to a peer-reviewed article, written a book accepted by publisher of note, or invented a device of novel and successful application, inspired by discussions on PF?

All the mentors/advisors are busy working on a secret world domination weather machine. Look for the island hideaway with the volcano shaped like Greg's head.
