Good mentions at The man who loved numbers, notably youtu.be/PqP2c5xNaTU?t=349 where Bela Bollobas, friend of Littlewood, talks about their collaboration.
Francis Crick and James Watson Created 2024-11-30 Updated 2025-07-16
Some good mentions of their dynamic duo status at The Race for the Double Helix. Their chemistry and love are palpable during their joint interviews.
Very clearly, Francis is the charismatic one, and James is the nerd.

Pieter van Musschenbroek is the perfect example that if your surname is too complicated, things you invent will not be named after you!

Good ones:

- The Proof (1997): Fermat's last theorem
- Absolute Zero: The Conquest of Cold (2008): cryogenics
De-banking should be illegal Created 2024-11-26 Updated 2025-07-16
Courts of law should decide if your money is legal or not. Not private entities such as banks. This is actually a case for cryptocurrencies and central bank digital currencies.
Ciro Santilli had a fun mini-case of this with his Barclays account frozen for a few days in 2024 in the UK after receiving a large anonymous cryptocurrency donatio: Barclays regulation.

Not affiliated to the Open University apparently. But equally unopen which is funny.
