Wallace Fujikawa (Earth-9471)

"The Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine became a reality in April 2291 due entirely to vision, perseverance, and dedication of these two pioneers in quantum engineering and applied theoretical physics. They have opened a path to the stars for all of us."

Biography
Wallace Fujikawa, alongside Doctor Tobias Fleming Shaw, created the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine on Venus, in 2291, which made normal space navigation useless and allowed humans to colonize planets and systems outside of the Sol system, in an event known as Domus Diaspora.

For their groundbreaking discovery, Fujikawa and Shaw were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics of 2292.

He died peacefully of old age on February 18th, 2218, at the age of 102.
