I've discovered the deep connections between the founders of techno and the founders of quantum mechanics. Schroedinger/Atkins: The genesis. Formulated the first quantitative model. Heisenberg/Saunderson: A different picture of quantum mechanics -- Saunderson used the house/R&B roots of techno, as opposed to Atkins futuristic bent (of course, the trainspotters know that the H picture of QM is really due to S, similarly, Atkins funkier exploits with Clear in the early 80's predated Saunderson's Inner City material. Incidentally, Atkins 1999 "Body and Soul" returns to the gritty, funky, R&B feel which was not featured as strongly in his late '80's Model 500 material). Saunderson and Heisenberg had more mainstream success with their work than the others. Dirac/May: The field assumes its modern form. The models/notations/rules they invented still exist today.
