Maurice Allais (born May 31, 1911) was the 1988
winner of  The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic
Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for his
pioneering contributions to the theory of markets
and efficient utilization of resources. He was
born in Paris, France. Allais made contribution to
economics and was an accomplished physicist. As a
scientist, he made two controversial contributions
to the scientific community: 

# The Allais effect first reported in 1954 was the
result of anomalous readings of a paraconical
pendulum during two separate eclipse events.
Initially this was thought to be a gravitational
shielding effect inconsistent with general
relativity but other conventional interpretations
take precedence in mainstream physics.   
# More recently Dr. Allais performed a statistical
analysis of the thousands of interferometer
measurements of Dayton Miller and found a
corresponding periodicity with the sidereal day,
the equinoxes and other celestial events thus
invalidating the Robert S. Shankland rufutation of
Miller's work. This

doubt on the second postulate of Special
Relativity or opens possibilities for expansion of
the theory.

==Notable quotes==

* "In essence, the present creation of money, out
of nothing by the banking system, is similar - I
do not hesitate to say it in order to make people
clearly realize what is at stake here - to the
creation of money by counterfeiters, so rightly
condemned by law."
