... and all the other famous scientists,
television probably would not be invented that early.
In our day and age people are watching too much television. We figure

books anymore just for the fun of it, or so they can read the paranormal,
science fiction, horror, classics, fiction or non-fiction novel that surround
our world. If we want to see stuff like that we will watch “The X-Files” or
