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.)
