I Found an Easter Egg in Éric Chahi's Another World

by sans_souse·1y ago·1 comments·view on hn ↗
Lester uses the code 4511932 to enter his underground lab.

Lester is a particle physicist.

simple google search query of ``4511932`` results give us a few interesting results, notably we see that there is a site 4511932.com with a clear connection and a deviantart fan page is another, but on the 2nd page the less-immediately clear link is a .gov domain; https://www.osti.gov/biblio/4511932 which tips us off I think, being that this is research documenting what would have been (in its' time) ground breaking research in physics and particle scattering experiments from the mid-to-late 1960's.

I wonder if Éric Chahi could comfirm this?

Why do you think this brief report is related to the game (the id in question is not part of the publication) or represents 'ground breaking research'?
