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

Anywhere they want. :biggrin:
 
Top secret places where they work on things like the time-machines and opening warp-holes.
 
Lol.
 
Cern.

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. :wink: :biggrin:
 
Top physicsts would probably work at top schools.

dont forget things like anti-gravity machines
 
They've already found their way to higher dimensions.

... they're actually mice.
