I guess most of us are familiar with the sages of old like Plato, Atristotle, Charles Dawin, Copenicus, Isaac Newton Kekule and Dalton just to mention a few. I Just cant stop aking myself which university all these legends graduated? who were there teachers? Or how do they come about all they profess to know and belief?
