I had never heard of him either.
I did click the link.
I don't remember ever seeing any of his work but he was somewhat prominent as a "behind the scenes" guy, and did appear on screen in several movies.
RIP, Ricky.
A faulty hypothesis forming:
A German scientist using Iranian physics and French mathematics.
I'm only acquainted with him from a documentary he did for PBS several years ago about magicians. RIP
