Luckily for all of us, in 150 years no one will give a damn _who_,
only that is _was_ discovered. In the grand scheme of things, these
are quite trivial discoveries, though they may fuel your activity in
this direction on a nightly basis. But the sooner you grasp the
"big picture", the sooner your nerves (and inflated egos) will calm down.
