Thoroughly enjoyed this edition of Thinkopolis as well as the detailed history of Galambos' exit from TRW. Ayn Rand constructed a similar dichotomy between two scientists in Atlas Shrugged, with John Galt, the scientist inventor of the engine running on static energy vs Robert Stadler, of the State Science Institue, and creator of the weapon system, Project X, which could pulverize all forms of matter.
