Thought that's what you meant. Wasn't aware that he had developed any actual new physics. I do know he was desparate for funds at the end and might have fallen prey to some embellishment and license. That he was arguably ill-treated might factor into it, too. Too bad his papers were spirited away and classified so we can't judge for ourselves, though. Look what government paranoia has engendered in this case.

I deeply doubt the stories about his papers having been "classified." More likely, as he died in obscurity, his unpublished work simply ended up in a trash bin. There is no reverence for, nor any desire to preserve the work of, some dead pauper who is not the media darling du jour. Marc de Piolenc
