SNIPPET:
What a remarkable life!
And yet there was little indication early in his life that he would become such an internationally renowned scientist. According to the New York Times, Goodenough kept a tapestry of the Last Supper on the wall of his laboratory. He found its depiction of the Apostles in fervent conversation — like scientists disputing a theory — reminded him of a divine power that had opened doors for him in a life that had begun with little promise.
He was the unwanted child of an agnostic Yale University professor of religion and a mother with whom he never bonded. He grew up lonely and dyslexic in an emotionally distant household. He was sent to a private boarding school at 12 and rarely heard from his parents thereafter.
With patience, counseling, and intense struggles for self-improvement, he overcame his reading disabilities. He studied Latin and Greek at Groton and mastered mathematics at Yale, meteorology in the Army Air Forces during World War II, and physics under Clarence Zener, Edward Teller, and Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago, where he earned a doctorate in 1952, the Times reports.

AGelbert COMMENT:
John Goodenough 🕊️ is an example of a ☝🏻 Godly man. I hope to meet him soon.
These verses in the New Testament fit him perfectly:
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. ~ 2 Corinthians 6:8-10

The man who invented a time machine
SNIPPET:
Exxon had recently patented a lithium battery design, but it was impractical; Goodenough figured out how to layer the cathode with cobalt and lithium oxide. It stored two to three times the energy of other batteries at room temperature; suddenly you could power all kinds of things. It took a few years, but eventually he was honored (at age 97) with the Nobel Prize. He was still at work when that tribute came, in an office with a painting of the Last Supper on the wall behind him. As I say, a twentieth century man, setting the scene for the 21st.
