Way to go Pakistan...way to "shun" one of your premier scientists and your greatest gifts to modern society.
The pioneering work of Abdus Salam, Pakistan's only Nobel laureate, helped lead to the apparent discovery of the subatomic "God particle" last week. But the late physicist is no hero at home, where his name has been stricken from school textbooks.
No worries dudes, this isn't the first time a society "shunned" or labeled someone a "heretic..."
Galileo Galilei...dude was obviously nuts according to church standards as he said the earth revolved around he sun...
Alan Turing...did something amazing with "algorithm" and "computation" but since he was a homosexual he was required to have (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison...he chose cyanide poisoning....
& that is just 2...there are many many more. Shunning ones only Nobel laureate is well, dumb.
