I heard the name before. Generally speaking, few names become mainstream for various reasons. However, science and its advancement is never a one guy or the other thing. It's a process that takes a very long time and is influenced by everything going on at the time and everyone involved. In the end though, one or a few would end up pioneering the "breakthrough" and get all the "credit".

Thank you for this delightful article @agmoore.

Cheers.
