Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on March 14, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Sir Michael Berry! May your celebrations be as delightfully unpredictable and elegantly complex as the quantum phenomena you've illuminated. From unraveling geometric phases to exploring optical caustics, your brilliant insights have left us both amazed and slightly dizzy—much like trying to follow one of your lectures without coffee.

Your knighthood in 1996 and fellowship at the Royal Society since 1982 are impressive milestones indeed—but perhaps even more remarkable is how you manage to make mathematical physics seem almost fun. Here's wishing you another year filled with fascinating discoveries, joyful paradoxes, and plenty of cake-induced chaos theory!
