True, but he died before he ever published anything about it. I was dating a girl that worked there at the time is the only reason I got to see any of this. There were hundreds of these large 6-10ft tall cylinders with lots of science looking stuff in them that were made I guess? for interchanging between some sort of system in a sub zero room full of other equipment. I was kind of impressed at first then more disappointing that literally no one could even tell me what the stuff was or what he was working on. I didn't get to really see what was in the cold room since everything was already disassembled and boxed or piled up in the case where it didn't fit in boxes. Also I don't know what the room is really called but it was made to be cold and was not active at the time I was there.
There were also piles of very expensive scientific machinery that he gutted for single parts. Because apparently simply sourcing the part he needed for say $250k less was beneath his time so since he had tenure and budget he would just order something he already knew had what he wanted and gutted it leaving behind a very expense broken machine/instrument.
He also believed that women brains were incapable of doing science so she didn't really like him much as you could imagine.
Sounds like the beginning of every great scientist's biography.
