Name that historical figure!

[Spear Dog]

Yes, Werner Heisenberg the Noble prize winning (1932) German nuclear physicist who played a key role in the Nazi quest for the atom bomb - the first off the mark in race to build then ultimate weapon. The German projects aimed at building a bomb included a large number of impressive scientists including: " Kurt Diebner, Abraham Esau, Walther Gerlach, and Erich Schumann; Schumann was one of the most powerful and influential physicists in Germany." (wikipedia) I've singled out Heisenberg as he headed the project to build the nuclear reactor to refine the uranium fuel and was the specialist in 'particle collision' and the subsequent energy release. It was also Heisenberg who was interviewed by Albert Speer about the project and presented a realistic assessment of success, the necessary effort and a true timeline to completion (sometime in 1945). The result of that interview was Hitler pulling out all stops and removing all obstacles - particularly financial towards achieving success. The panic was of course the scramble by the US to match and beat the German effort with Project Manhattan.

Cmon spear dog you had promised bonus rep for RM and MC.

I can only give a person 1 rep/ 5 turns and if you read my post closely I said ".... if I could" and I would.

I repped you for Heisenberg maybe someone else would like to step in and rep you for Robert Millikan, .....anyone? It's not usual though, when one person answers more than one ID. I repped for Marie Curie because the opportunity was there.

had to cut off the down portion because it contained his nae .

I'll take a guess at Batu Khan?

[Owlparrot3]

No wrong nation .Right continent .Yes this is pretty hard .As hard as that king of Khotan .
A hint is that he is not of batu khans religion either and not Japanese .Not from persia or turkey or Arabia.

I believe he is the Indian commander Lachit Borphukan of the Ahom Kingdom. A hero of the Battle of Saraighat.

I'm actually reading a book on the subject. Mughal Warfare: Indian Frontiers and Highroads to Empire 1500–1700 By:Gommans

[Owlparrot3]

Yes .Repped. Your turn .

[chesser2538]

Here's a good one.

[chesser2538]

Since its been a few days, I'll give a hint.

Hint 1. He is Italian

[chesser2538]

I didn't think that this would be so difficult. OK so he is an Italian inventor from the early 1900's.

[Socrates1984]

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't find any "famous stealing other peoples work" or "famous plagiarism cases" from that time on the internet. Now that you said Italian inventor, I would have to say Guglielmo Marconi. What was he accused of stealing??

[Ἀπολλόδοτος Α΄ ὁ Σωτήρ]

What was he accused of stealing??

If I recall correctly, radio from Tesla, however both worked on the project separately at the same time, Marconi also worked with Tesla previously and was familiar with some of his ideas.

[chesser2538]

Yes, It's Marconi. He was involved in patent infringement suits with the Supreme Court eventually finding in favor of Tesla. Whether he actually was guilty is another matter. Here is a little background if your interested. http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_whoradio.html

[Socrates1984]

Thanks for the info and the feedback!

Now, this is another one. I consider it a rather easy one, because the guy is famous.

[Socrates1984]

A hint: He is a famous American who died in 2002.

[Grymloq]

John Rawls

[Socrates1984]

Correct, He's John Rawls!
Your turn and +rep.

[Grymloq]
