    He was not able to effectively continue to experiment and research. Because he may have worked with some of the people who worked on those projects, or at least had a connection to them, and also he may have lived a hell of a lot longer if he wasnt poor. Its not good for your health

    So if he didnt get screwed over the way he did he would have lived differently.

    Also a concept can exist decades before it is proven.

    Dude had a brilliant mind and was a genius. Money allows you to persue the things you want in a way that being poor simply does not allow.

    Is this really something you needed explained?

      “He was a genius” does not equal “he would have invented something that hadn’t been invented yet if he had the money to do so.”

      Do you even have any evidence that he was working along those lines?

        I said perhaps understand the concept, not invent it. So no i dont have any evidence for something i never claimed.

        Wtf is wrong with you.

          Okay, sure. He might have understood the concept of genetics too. But he didn’t, so that’s not relevant.
