[edit] Comments
Is this the same person that is listed at Oktay Sinanoglu? RickK 06:14, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
Even if he isn't, he looks more notable. -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:22, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
"In the 1980s, he theorized a new method from 180 theories concerning mathematics and physics, considered revolutionary, which enables chemists to predict the ways in which chemicals combine in the laboratory and to solve other complex problems in chemistry using simple pictures and periodic tables."
I don't understand what this sentence says--"theorized a new method from 180 theories"??
I think this article need rewriting--there is a lot of hype for this person in his home country (which is where I am from), and this article seems to be written by some of his enthusiasts, without a detailed understanding of his scientific work. Any quantum chemists out there who feel like up to this job?
The article says: He was born on February 25, 1935 in Bari, Italy. As appointed professor in 1963 at the age of only 26... 1963-1935=28. Whish information is correct? 68.241.47.138 23:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- 27 !
Apparently this article was written by some nationalist fan of Oktay Sinanoglu. His scientific work is highly exaggerated. What are the names of 180 theory mentioned in the article. Writer of the article is lack of real scientific vision.
[edit] Conspiracy theorist
This person may be a genius. However, based on his comments and ramblings in a talk-show on Turkish Mesaj TV on February 23, 2008, I would like to add that he has a very mean streak and is an advanced conspiracy theorist, as well as a megalomaniac. As mentioned by previous commenters, this article needs to be given a balanced point of view. Sinanoglu is unabashedly anti-USA. His social commentary books, such as the one on the current state of the Turkish language, are very difficult to read (in my opinion). It could be said that he is the Turkish counterpart to Chomsky in the U.S., but I have never heard or watched Chomsky in person, and would be doing him an injustice, because Sinanoglu strikes me as a mad scientist whose few well-founded opinions are unfortunately shrouded by his nut-case personality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.99.217.231 (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think it is senility. I would be interested to know if he made such remarks in his youth. --Adoniscik (talk) 22:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support Adoniscik, much appreciated. Incidentally, how are you aware of Sinanoglu? Just curious. -Todd 85.106.141.176 (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
