..but he remains a "mystery man" to me.. , anytime you would try to ask him about where he came from..he was evasive.. ,
================
; anyways, he may be a chemistry genius but I don't think he deserves 4th most famous..he's only 50 or so.., and only fellow chemistry people can understand his material...so you don't even know if it really makes sense or if it is a club of back-patting chemistry professors who sound smart but do what ? At least Einstein came up with E=Mc Squared which led, infamously, to the atomic bomb, so there was something concrete to attach his intelligence to..a "product"..but so many of these "genius" people in the physical sciences never produce anything.. we just have to believe he's a genius because other chemists say so. I'm more impressed by chemists in the laboratory who produce something: new medications, etc
