Just curious where the worlds most influential and respected physicists work? Do they work at universities? Private firms? Or Governments?

In summary, the world's most influential and respected physicists work in top-secret places, such as CERN and patent offices, where they focus on developing time machines, opening warp-holes, and anti-gravity machines. They may also work at top schools or for organizations like NASA and the Stargate program. Despite their accomplishments, their work is often kept under wraps for security reasons.

Of course, if they work in top-secret places, they really aren't the most well-known physicists. Afterall, if they told you what they do, they'd have to kill you...kind of makes it hard to spread the word about their greatness.

They've already found their way to higher dimensions.

The Stargate program, without a doubt.
Related to Where do the best physicists work?
1. Where do the best physicists usually work?
The best physicists can be found working in a variety of places, including universities, research institutes, government laboratories, and private companies.
2. What are some well-known institutions that employ top physicists?
Some well-known institutions that employ top physicists include CERN, NASA, MIT, Harvard University, and the Max Planck Institute.
3. Is it necessary to work at a prestigious institution to be considered a top physicist?
No, while working at a prestigious institution can certainly enhance one's reputation and access to resources, it is not a requirement to be considered a top physicist. Many great physicists have made groundbreaking discoveries while working at smaller, lesser-known institutions.
4. Are there any specific countries that have a higher concentration of top physicists?
There are several countries that are known for having a high concentration of top physicists, including the United States, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. However, with advancements in technology and the increasing collaboration between scientists from different countries, top physicists can be found all over the world.
5. Do top physicists only work in theoretical research or do they also engage in practical applications?
Top physicists can work in both theoretical and applied research. While some may focus solely on theoretical concepts and mathematical equations, others may use their knowledge and skills to develop real-world applications and technologies. Many top physicists also collaborate with engineers and other scientists to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications.
