He received his PhD at age 20. He forced Air Canada to change it's policy that claimed the airline wasn't responsible for lost luggage. He's standing up for the integrity of his profession. And he's only 27.
I hope he continues to contribute to society outside of the domain of theoretical maths.
The question is, though, how do we positively reward this type of action? For example, if the professor is fired, my guess is that he will have a hard time finding a job somewhere else, because he has rocked the boat. But, he deserves much better than that. How do we solve that?
I doubt it. In fact, I suspect the first thought of every mathematics department chair in Canada upon reading this story was "Lukacs is running into problems at Manitoba? Is there any way we can get him to come here instead?"
