It was a rainy day in Greenville yesterday as shown by this photo of the Charles Townes statue in downtown Greenville. Charles Townes is a Greenville resident best know as a Nobel prize winner for his formulas which lead to the invention of the laser. Today’s photo shows part of the statue depicting the envelope on which he wrote the formula … I think the world was fortunate it was not raining on the day when the formula was originally written.

I never noticed it at first, but there is a laser-like green LED in the end of the pen he’s holding.
