What about the contributors?

[Andy Man]

Well since everyone remembered Pauls' death but no one remembered when Frederick Sanger died, he was a British biochemist who won the Nobel Price for Chemistry twice, he died the 19th of November and I saw 0 threads nor a thing in facebook. No one talked about Doris Lessing she died the 17th of November she was a British novelist, poet, playwright, librettist, biographer and short story writer. She was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. This guys changed the world, what did Paul do? He made the Fast and Furious movies but did they change the world? Did he contributed to the world or humanity? What about all those scientists and mathematicians that die? They get no attention after all they did for humanity.

Have it ever crossed your mind that Paul Walker maybe had more fans than this Frederick Sanger had? People in the entertainment business is far more known than the academic business. This doesn't mean that we value Paul Walker more than Frederick Sanger as two human beings with different values, but we do feel more sorrow for losing someone that is more known because we have enjoyed something made of him.

Also, Frederick Sanger died at the age of 95 by AGE. Paul Walker and his friend died in a very tragical accident at the age of 40 (Paul Walker). At least I can't understand your thoughts because the thing is that you clearly do not understand the difference between academic business and entertainment business and which one is more "POPULAR". Also you're giving us two examples of academics who died due to high age, not in an tragical accident. Difference is clear.
