    I had never heard of this guy until I saw the news of his death and I ended up reading a few articles on him...He must have been a very brave person and a very confident one to believe in something when the whole world was against it.
    Also, being in a scientific field of work myself, I like the fact that he was an astronomer (PhD from Harvard, no less!)
