Chomsky this man was convicted in 2008 of "procuring children for prostitution" and also "soliciting prostitution", for which he only served 13months in prison (conspicuously short), you should not be replying to him in 2016.
TFW the Expanse book 1 Leviathan Wakes came out in 2011. In the Expanse series the big technological conceit is that we invented super efficient fusion powered space travel. It is referred to as the Epstein drive.
They also shit on Stalin, randomly, in a throw-away one-liner for some reason.
other people have the misfortune of being named Epstein
The issue is that basically everything pop science/nerd culture is sus now. Epstein was all over everyone and I wouldn't be surprised that even folks who aren't implicated in sex stuff chose to name stuff after him because they meet him at a party once or something.

Despite the awful name he was pretty based.
Oh yea I know it is just a coincidence but I could never not think about it while reading the books. Great series though. Probably my favorite contemporary Sci Fi series.
In the Trails video game series, the guy who came up with the concept of orbal technology (basically the equivalent of electricity in that universe, and also kind of magic too) is called Professor Epstein. If I had a nickel, etc.
The first game was released in 2004 and now they're stuck with having something called the Epstein Foundation play a major part in the games.
At least in 2004 that was before his first conviction lol
