Happy Birthday, Carl! May your day be as cool and condensed as the Bose–Einstein condensate you brilliantly created back in '95. Your groundbreaking work not only earned you a Nobel Prize but also made physics seem effortlessly chill—literally!From pioneering quantum states to advising at The White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, you've shown us that physicists can indeed wear many hats (and lab coats). Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer policy memos and more cake slices. Keep inspiring us with your timeless curiosity—and remember: age is just another quantum state you're mastering perfectly!
