Every physicist I met was in some way unhinged. One had delusions of grandeur, second couldn’t bare his feet in any circumstances, another one would pause lecture every ten minutes to go into his room from which indescribable sounds would come.

It’s probably the unbearable awareness of vastness of space that does a number on you. I wonder if they have any pills for that

Dried frog pills, probably. I've been told if you take one you can hallucinate that you're sane, which is probably close enough for the average physicist.
