I bet old Linus would love taking credit for the Exclusion Principle, but it's named for Wolfgang Pauli who beat him to the punch. Great books for Q4, Fred!
The Pauling biography should be fun. Did you know he proposed a triple helical structure for DNA? I used to work in a lab where every time someone experienced difficulty resolving a sequence for a stretch of DNA, the running "joke" was to blame a triple helix structure. Yeah, I didn't think it was all that funny either. 😊

More importantly, Pauli gave us "Das is nicht einmal falsch” (“That's not even wrong”), arguably the greatest "burn" of all time. 😁
@@BryanM.R.-prionic1 It would take another 50 years for Mandelbrot to come along with fractal wrongness: being wrong at every conceivable resolution.
You have picked some good books Fred. I think I might read Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. I haven't picked anything else yet.

I haven't read a Linus Pauling in so long but I haven't read this one.
