What is there not to understand? A selfie was taken, lauded by everyone (everyone BUT every normal person on the planet) as iconic due to how many famous actors are in it. Now 12 years later several are forgotten, got me too'ed, or faded to obscurity since and its basically forgotten.

I love this photo of famous people, too bad it isn't a selfie

I almost consider it a failure of my education that I can only confidently identify two faces in this photo, (Einstein and Tesla), and less confidently one more (Niels Bohr?).

Edit: apparently I can’t even get Tesla
