Talk:John Lennard-Jones

Not really the "initiator"
Lennard-Jones was a brilliant and important theorist, but Douglas Hartree was the first person to do computational chemistry (in 1933) by at least five years, and arguably Hartree is the single most important computational chemist in history. It makes no sense to refer to Lennard-Jones as "the initiator of modern computational chemistry." It would make sense to refer to him as "one of the most important early computational chemists." Anyone disagree? KeeYou Flib (talk) 18:54, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
