Beer, the cornerstone of civilization

Beer: it's chemistry, biology and history all rolled into one.  The first beers were most likely accidentally brewed 7,000 years ago in the middle east when wild yeasts cultured open jars of grain that had gotten water in them.  Some brave soul tasted it and discovered that is was amazeballs.  This led to organized agriculture in order to increase grain production, which led to established civilizations built around the new fixed agricultural sites.  I suppose you could say the first scientists were brewers (a high percentage of whom were also women).  Okay, maybe they didn't fully understand the underpinnings of the processes they used to create beers, but give me some latitude here.

Fast forward 7,000 years or so and beer still plays a big part in science.  Beer itself might be chemistry and biology but it has a physics connection as well.  I submit the case of one Donald Glaser, winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.  Glaser received his Nobel for the invention of the bubble chamber, a detector used in subatomic particle physics.  While developing the bubble chamber he did experiments using beer as the detector medium.

Look at this smooth ass dude

As an additional proof of physicists love of beer take a look at Niels Bohr, yet another Nobel Laureate.  Good old Neils is most commonly know for the Bohr Model of the atom that we all learned in high school.  Quantum mechanics bitches!!!  Where's the beer fit into that?  This dude was so cool that when he won the Nobel prize he was given a house next to the Carlsberg Brewery...that had a tap line running from the brewery to his house!!!  I'm sorry, but that is probably the coolest shit in the whole damned world!

You know this was a rocking ass party!

So in short, have a beer...SCIENCE DEMANDS IT!!!
