Chickenstein
Distinguished Professor of Chicken Mechanics; discovered Sneek/Cheek parity invariance and proved the quantization of the scalar Sneek field. He was on holiday on Earth when Neith fell.
Chickenstein, Distinguished Professor of Chicken Mechanics at the now defunct Neith Institute of Technology (NIT). Discovered Sneek/Cheek parity invariance and proved the quantization of the scalar Sneek field. He is also known for pioneering the science of holonomic integer beak calculus. As a member of the Royal Society, he met William Herschel and Marcus Aurelius Chamberlain Bentworthe on multiple occasion.
*The Hassimir council has formally censured Chickenstein’s work as “Chicken-magic” with “no academic or scientific value.”
The scalar Sneek field itself was discovered by Leftenant Dr. Sheffenmeijer in 1704 CP; the proof of its quantization is credited to Chickenstein.
On Earth
When The Fall of Neith came in 1777 AD, Chickenstein was not on Neith at all. He was on holiday on Earth, and so he was spared the fate of the moon, and of the Institute, which closed with it. His meetings with Herschel and Bentworthe at the Royal Society came in the years after.
