LIPPINCOTT

Lippincott was perhaps a great scientist except for one great mistake. He has 151 publications in Scopus and 112 co-authors. He was probably Professor of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Maryland for many years and probably taught many many people difficult subjects......wrote many exams and prepared and delivered many lectures at the University of Maryland which is a great school. I am willing to bet based upon his ratio of papers to co-authors that he was a very honest man and was not a problematic person in any way. He was probably of a strict Christian moral code and never engaged in sinister activities in his work or life. It is sad that Hazen in his book "The New Alchemists" dispenses of Ellis Lippincott casually. Today is a day to remember Lippincott as a very good scientist, I will remember him that way. Charles Weir and Alvin Van Valkenburg and Lippincott created the diamond anvil cell and developed it profoundly.......they should have been given great recognition for this invention, but polywater made it impossible...........It is just not fair what happened to Lippincott in life.......... But my theories are very speculative as well and I may possibly be dispensed of by history casually and anonymously even though my work is imaginative and some of it might be right.
