Death of a LDS scientis.

[Traveler]

Sorry I lost the link but this last week Dr. Tracy Hall died. For those that do not know Dr. Hall is credited with the invention of the synthetic diamond. I was a school chum of his only son – Tracy Jr. Dr Hall is also the first scientist to calculate the charge of an electron as a grad student but his professor (Robert Millikan) took all the credit. Kind of a trend through history – Newton was especially good at stilling credit. Anyway Dr. Hall was a great man, a good member of the LDS church and someone I knew personally.

Robert Millikan determined the charge of oil particles, that's what I've learned at school. And generations of students will hear the same, sad to hear such news. Respect is due to him.
