There really are several of this guy. No, Keith Wheeler isn't him, at least he doesn't look like the picture nor does the cross look like my guy's cross, which was very, very white. As was the guy, I might add.

Meanwhile, who WAS it who first had no need of that hypothesis? I know the original quote was in French, or at least I first heard it in French... but... who was that quoted man?

Think it was Laplace, talking to Napoleon?

I remember Arthur Blessit on a visit (his visit - I live there) to England in about 1970. Don't remember seeing him, though,

Yes, Laplace, thanks! I knew it wasn't Pascal, he was too early.
