Connect the two pictures and the text below to give X:X's metaphor of a readable book of life, a decipherable genetic code, might seem obvious now, but at the time this was a sensationally new concept. X viewed the genes in each cell as resembling offices that produce orderly events. "Since we know the power this tiny central office has in the isolated cell, do they not resemble stations of local government dispersed through the body, communicating with each other with great ease, thanks to the code that is common to all of them?" asked X.
"The notion that life might be perpetuated by means of an instruction book inscribed in a secret code appealed to me," Watson would later say. Watson went on to decipher the structure of DNA along with Crick. This notion was first voiced by X.
Question by me during genesis last year.

are the photos meant as a hint
Yes. They both point to X.
POINT to x...
I would guess something to do with nucleus... but i cant say what. Might have to google the origin of that before giving a proper guess of X.
But if its sci-fi, i'd guess X is H.G.Wells?
its actually Schrodinger
the ~nucleus pointed to some scientist that had something to do with atoms
the cat pointed to Schrodinger's cat
Schrodinger had a cat? was he famous? did he die or something cuz of quantum mechanics? Did he acquire fame in Schrodinger's nobel speech or something???
What if I said that it was Dirac. And the cat was Dirac's? Would you be able to prove me wrong???
wth!
It is Schrodinger.
The cat points to the fanous Schrodinger Cat paradox.
The definition is something like this:
"A cat, along with a flask containing a poison, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If a Geiger counter detects radiation then the flask is shattered, releasing the poison which kills the cat. Quantum mechanics suggests that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when we look in the box, we see the cat either alive or dead, not a mixture of alive and dead."
Anyway, I guessed it :-(
LOL pgm
Sam is right
the famous schrodinger cat paradox
:P
well, atleast it was a worthy outburst of frustration at a 'seemingly arbit' clue of a question
:P
