    Don't count out Dyson either -- he's still alive and kicking -- I've
    even had a couple of emails from him.

    For those who don't know, Dyson probably should have shared in the
    1965 Nobel Prize for Physics [1], due to his work putting together
    different theories in [2]. I think however the Nobel prize is
    restricted to 3 people unfortunately.

    Damn, death sucks. I'm not sure about all of the people pointed out
    but I would *really* like to have had the opportunity to meet Feynman.

       (There are also several related papers written by Dyson from 1949-1951
        merging the various theories.)
