Thomas Jefferson Jackson See (19 Feb 1866 in Montgomery City, Missouri - 4 July 1962 in Oakland, California, USA) was an astronomer who studied at the University of Missouri and in Berlin. He fell out with his astronomical colleagues and was eventually banned from publishing. He spent the last part of his life arguing against Einstein's Theory of Relativity.(8) His colorful and promising career was plagued by accusations of plagiarism, repeated firings from observatory positions, and the curse of his own egotistical claims.
