One of the Johns Hopkins University’s most famous graduates has passed away at 96. John A. Wheeler, who earned a doctorate in physics from Hopkins in 1933, was involved in the Manhattan Project and made a number of major scientific advancements.

If the name sounds at all familiar to you, it’s because he’s also the father of the term “black hole.”

I don’t suppose there’s too much “new news” to this story, but he was a major figure in science, and I wanted to get the word out.
