Gosh I remember when I was little growing up on the farm playing with wires. I would never have guessed I would turn into the person I am today.

I not only looked at particles but helped the Americans during the cold war! I gave the U.S. "a big lead in scientific achievement." They called me "a key figure in the cold war’s competition and gave the US the edge

So basically I'm flexing with all these awards, I not only won high-level award but I had many things such as the Van Allen belt and many probes named after me, what is cooler than that.

Sorry another #tbt In 1989, I received the Crafoord Prize presented by the King of Sweden. The Crafoord Prize is the highest award the Academy can give for research in a number of scientific fields and, for space exploration, is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize.

In 1987, Ronald Reagan presented the National Medal of Science, the U.S.'s highest honor for scientific achievement, to me at White House ceremonies.

NASA renamed the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), a mission to study Earth's Van Allen radiation belts, as the Van Allen Probes mission in honor Me! I was a distinguished professor of physics in the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Did you know that in 2013 a team from Dartmouth sent out balloons over the North and South pole to collect information about radiation and find out more about the theory I discovered years ago!

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight weird flex but ok, when im done designing my new launcher used during world war 2 which is 50 percent more accurate I will call you

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

I have a bad feeling about August 9th 2006

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight Yes! Particles interact in our solar system through solar winds and the magnetic fields of each planet. This is simply how I discovered the two radiation belts looping around earth.

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight Like you, I also studied how particles moved but only in space. About your theory of light, I find it interesting that lights move side to side. In my theory, there are particles moving around earth due to solar winds.

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight Wow, I do understand know. I'm surprised you know about flashlights in your time! Your discoveries helped me understand how particles interact with each other!

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@SChandrasekhar0 Hey Subrah, I know you are well known for discovering the evolution of stars. I find it interesting how you know so much about how particles move and form new objects. I also looked at how particles moved but to make two invisible radiation belts around eart

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@cas5ini Yes, I do enjoy the luxury of the new technology that I have today. Looking at the particles in the solar system as well as the solar winds Took many tools and many years to find out about the radiation belts around our world

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight Yea that may be cool but have you ever wanted to know more about solar winds, that is cool stuff

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@Messier1730 Very Cool, I will make sure to check it out

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@SChandrasekhar0 Interesting, well it seems that even though I may pass one day my inventions live on forever such as the van Allen belt.

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@HuygensLight wow I also studied how particles moved, it seems like we have a lot in common

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@BenjaminBanne10 That is crazy! I am lucky I do not have to suffer through such hate. The fact that it is harder to be recognized as a genius due to your skin color is a sad concept. I myself, acknowledge your accomplishments and respect you highly. #bestofluck

[Van Allen 1914 @1914Van]

@cas5ini @cas5ini Wow it looks like we both have an interest in space. I looked more at the particle that you can not see but I see that you discovered visible objects such as Saturn's moons. I guess we both like to discover new things.
