A Party of Famous Physicists

One day, all of the world's famous physicists decided to get together
for a dinner function. Fortunately, the doorman was a grad student,
and able to observe some of the guests...

Everyone gravitated toward Newton, but he just kept moving around at a
constant velocity and showed no reaction.
Einstein was having a relatively good time.
Coulomb got a real charge out of the whole thing.
Cauchy, being the only mathematician there, still managed to integrate
well with everyone.
Thompson enjoyed the plum pudding.
Pauli came late, but was mostly excluded from things, so he split.
Pascal was under too much pressure to enjoy himself.
Ohm spent most of the time resisting Ampere's opinions on current events.
Hamilton went to the buffet tables exactly once.
Volt thought the social had a lot of potential.
Hilbert was pretty spaced out for most of it.
Heisenberg may or may not have been there.
The Curies' radiant personalities basked everyone in their glowing presence.
van der Waals forced himeself to mingle.
Wien radiated a colourful personality.
Millikan dropped his Italian oil dressing.
de Broglie mostly just stood in the corner and waved.
Hollerith liked the hole idea.
Stefan and Boltzman got into some hot debates.
Everyone was attracted to Tesla's magnetic personality.
Compton was a little scatter-brained at times.
Watt turned out to be a powerful speaker.
Hertz went back to the buffet table several times a minute.
Faraday had quite a capacity for food.
Oppenheimer got bombed.
Bohr ate too much and got atomic ache.
