"Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics" redirects to a non-existent German version. Maybe the Opticians among us can decide what should be done to it. Robin Patterson 23:40, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm deleting the Critque section after reading the article, the man who claims this is a guy who is suing the Max Planck Institute and he doesn't cite any of his sources for the statistics, next why don't we add that Joe Nobody said that Ford Motors is "gay"?

[edit] "considered the foremost research institution in Europe"

of course this should be quoted with a source but i think everyone involved in science will agree with that statment. Research in this case means basic research though. The MPG could even be the foremost research institution in the world, but this is mostly due to its enormous size whilst in other countries the basic research is spread over several institutions. There should be some stats on the MPG site. Slicky 17:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

About the enormous size: It's annual budget of 1.4bn EUR is actually comparable to that of one, or maybe two to three large US universities...129.69.55.52 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
