8It was instantly clear that X’s discovery was an important one as it gave further proof of the quantum nature of light. So, X was confident of winning the Nobel Prize in Physics that year but was disappointed when the Nobel Prize went to Richardson that year and to de Broglie in the next year. X was so confident of winning the prize in the subsequent year that he booked tickets in July, even though the awards were to be announced in November, and would scan each day’s newspaper for announcement of the prize, tossing it away if it did not carry the news. X and his Nobel winning work

15X was often perceived as a magician, and is thought to have dabbled in alchemy and necromancy. It was said that he would travel about with a black spider in a small box, and that his black rooster was his familiar spirit. X used his rooster to determine which of his servants had been stealing from his home. He would shut the suspects one at a time in a room with the bird, telling them to stroke it. The rooster would then tell X which of them was guilty. Actually, what would happen is that he would secretly coat the rooster with soot. Servants who were innocent would have no qualms about stroking it but the guilty one would only pretend he had, and when X examined their hands, the one with the clean hands was guilty.It was in his mathematical work in 1618 that he referenced the constant Y, though it did not present the constant itself. Hence, the credit of discovering the constant goes to Jacob Bernoulli who was trying to study a question on compound interest. The first known use of the constant, was in correspondence from Gottfried Leibniz to Christiaan Huygens in 1690 and1691.X and Y

17X is derived from the need of the printers of family trees in feudal times as a symbol to indicate date of birth. The original shape was seven-armed, each arm like a tear drop shooting from the centre. For this reason, in some computer circles it is called a splat, perhaps due to the "squashed-bug" appearance of the X on many early line printers. Many cultures have their own unique versions of the X. In musical notation the sign indicates when the sustain pedal of the piano should be lifted. In human genetics, X is used to denote that someone is a member of a haplo group and not any of its sub-clades.
