Have you ever heard of the physicist Alex Abastian (sp?)

I'm not sure how it's spelled, Abastian, Ebastian, etc. He died recently, probably within the past year or two.

Statistically - every year several thousands (if not tens of thousands) people finish their physics studies, that makes them physicists. That also mens every year several thousands (if not tens of thousands) physicist die.

Unless he was renowned for something question is way to broad for a reasonable answer.

 

[AlephZero]

If you heard the name, it could be Alex (or Alec) Sebastian or Sebastien (or even Sebastienne) not Abastian.

But I agree, the question is too vague, unless somebody here actually knows the guy personally.

It might help if you could tell us what kind of physics he worked in, or what experiments he was associated with, etc.

I am familiar with many physicists, but I have not heard of Alex Abastian. It is possible that he was not well-known in the scientific community or that he worked in a specialized field that I am not familiar with. I am sorry to hear that he passed away recently. It is always a loss for the scientific community when a brilliant mind is lost. If you have any more information about his work or contributions to the field, I would be interested in learning more about him.
