- Albert Einstein
This German born physicist is considered one of the world's greatest thinkers in history.

- Philip Eaton
Philip E. Eaton (b. 1936) is a Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. He and his fellow researchers were the first to synthesize the "impossible" cubane molecule in 1964. Working with Mao-Xi Zhang he is reported as having been the first to make Octanitrocubane in 2000 or earlier. Because of its high density and highly strained C-C bonds it was expected to be the most powerful explosive discovered, but apparently has not lived up to expectations.

I do myspace and facebook in spurts. Actually, that kind of describes a lot of things. I enjoy running off on wild tangents and satisfying random curiosities. I'm in my sophomore year studying Biochemistry and Spanish at IU, and I have resigned myself to the fate of being in school for a long time. Well, I'm not stuck in the dorms anymore, but I'm doing independent study classes from my house.
