Sorry, but you're all mistaken. Al Gore invented television, but back then it was called Arpatube. If you don't believe me, see Dave Letterman's list of top ten--err.. eleven--things Al Gore invented (and I quote):
Top Ten/Eleven Other Achievements Claimed By Al Gore:
11. Invented television
10. Was first human to grow an opposable thumb
9. Only man in world to sleep with someone named "Tipper"
8. Current Vice President - Moesha fan club
7. He invented the dog
6. While riding bicycle one day, accidentally invented the orgasm
5. Pulled U.S. out of early 90's recession by personally buying 6,000 T-shirts
4. Starred in CBS situation comedy with Juan Valdez, "Juan for Al, Al for Juan"
3. Was inspiration for Ozzy Osboune song "Crazy Train"
2. Came up with popular catchphrase "Don't go there, girlfriend"
no offence, but unless you have a graduate degree (and some experience) in this subject, you're talking out of your ass. I bet you that these scientists know a wee tad more about the subject than you do. Graduate and postdoc training trump your university education anyday.
