Abstract

We have been invited to reminisce about how the “Slab Breakoff’ concept came about. We use this opportunity to reflect how this hypothesis arose from pure coincidence when we met as young postdocs at Cambridge University. At that time, we would have never anticipated the overwhelming application of this hypothesis. Today, when we type “Slab Breakoff” into Google Scholar, we receive 20,000 hits. From our personal perspective we review how the idea was originally developed. We then provide our view looking back from our role as spectators, given that we have left the topic after the design of the hypothesis in the 1990's.
