Funny!
It's as though we moderns are all grazing in a 100-acre meadow that's been grazed for two centuries. The easy stuff is gone. Even the magic beans are rare. The question is: with your magnifying glass, which seeds do you look at in hopes that they're nutritious?
One of my college advisors muttered, and I quote, "Einstein wasted 30 years of his life" (looking for a unified theory). Well now. Sadly, this advisor put graphite on paper for a whole career with little to show for it (apart from employment).
Mr. Nobel's name is -not- still recognized because of his economically worthy applications. And it's lucky for Kelvin that he invented a temperature scale.
