The Hubble/Lemaitre's Controversy is Over
Hubble -- after whom the US Hubble Space Telescope is named -- died in 1953, leaving behind a reputation for languid brilliance.
His early passion was for sport, including amateur boxing; he trained initially as a lawyer but got bored and switched to astronomy; and he adopted British mannerisms and fashions that irritated many of his peers.
It made me laugh out loud. And it makes both men appear better as a result; Hubble for having never shown a shred of academic dishonesty, and Lamaitre for his genuine humility.
