I've been reading this man's site and he's obviously suffering from Schizophrenia. Some of the Claims there are Laughable.
"Most searched for Scientist"? Emeagwali please. He rants about the exact same thing, over and over.

Here are some of his ridiculous claims:

1997
Nigerian Achiever of the Year, Network Africa
Bloggers noted that the janitor-mathematician in the movie Good Will
Hunting was copied after a true story of a black janitor (Emeagwali, March
1974)


1974 Conceived 64,000 computers—3,000 square miles apart—around the
world, now called an internet.

1989
Attended 500 weekly scientific seminars. Invented two HyperBall internets,
or hypercubes within hyperspheres.
Philip Emeagwali lives in Casper and Laramie, Wyoming for a year.
Discovered that 65,536 computers are 65,536 times faster, earning Philip
Emeagwali recognition and accolades around the world.



Emeagwali has released ZERO research Papers since the Gordon Bell Prize. Genius Indeed.

...

There's that one thing u do that last forever... Think on that thing

Is he d one called father of the internet? If yes, then he deserve to be celebrated.

op,if there is one thing that kills faster than ebola,it is jealousy.,
repent of your evil ways and receive Gej's fresh air and be saved.

Invent ideas,win prizes and you will be celebrated.

Well, some people still see him as a lord due to his tribe. I mean he has ZERO publications in so many years He's a perished researcher. Even I cannot afford 2 years without publication. But offcourse I dare not call myself what I'm not.

Emeagwali is living on the glory that he got from a College level competition. Pity!


Zero work done after that. I can't be jealous of a Mad man.

olapluto: Well, some people still see him as a lord due to his tribe. I mean he has ZERO publications in so many years He's a perished researcher. Even I cannot afford 2 years without publication. But offcourse I dare not call myself what I'm not.

Imagine!

He has Zero publications and he's the "father of the Internet"?! Haha!

Bro, i'm tired of these People.

In a simple sentence, Philip Emeagwali is a fraud.

Exactly.

. . . . The Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a math whiz who came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once.

Emeagwali was born to a poor family in Akure, Nigeria, in 1954. Despite his brain for math, he had to drop out of school because his family, who had become war refugees, could no longer afford to send him. As a young man, he earned a general education certificate from the University of London and later degrees from George Washington University and the University of Maryland, as well as a doctoral fellowship from the University of Michigan.

At Michigan, he participated in the scientific community's debate on how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs using a supercomputer. Growing up in an oil-rich nation and understanding how oil is drilled, Emeagwali decided to use this problem as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Borrowing an idea from a science fiction story about predicting the weather, Emeagwali decided that rather than using 8 expensive supercomputers he would employ thousands of microprocessors to do the computation.

The only step left was to find 8 machines and connect them. (Remember, it was the 80s.) Through research, he found a machine called the Connection Machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which had sat unused after scientists had given up on figuring out how to make it simulate nuclear explosions. The machine was designed to run 65,536 interconnected microprocessors. In 1987, he applied for and was given permission to use the machine, and remotely from his Ann Arbor, Michigan, location he set the parameters and ran his program. In addition to correctly computing the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.

The crux of the discovery was that Emeagwali had programmed each of the microprocessors to talk to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time.
