The bottom has fallen out of Phillip Emeagwali's basket of false claims. American oil giant, ExxonMobil, has told NEXT exclusively that it hasnever dealt with the American-based Nigerian scientist, contrary to Mr.Emeagwali's repeated claim that he wrote the equations that the company used tosimulate the flow of oil, water, and gas inside its reservoirs...
Authorities at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a United States Department of Energy laboratory, where Mr. Emeagwali claimed he sourcedthe Connection Machine for his award-winning experiment, also said they hadnever related with the Nigerian scientist.
Even the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the world's largest organisation of computer experts, has reacted to the scandalsurrounding Mr Emeagwali by removing the scientist's profile from its website.Mr. Emeagwali's bio on the site contained some contentious claims, includingone that he has a doctorate.
