What if the boy who was to become Albert Einstein happened to have been born to parents in an impoverished village in the Congo or Bolivia rather than Ulm in Germany?

It’s certain that E would still equal mc², and everything in the physical world would still be relative - but for sure, it would not have been Einstein who told the world, with his immeasurable talents undoubtedly wasted.

Despite the fact that most are well travelled, the vast majority of the world’s leading scientific researchers – the planet’s problem solvers and modern day magicians, responsible for extraordinary discoveries, and guardians to the knowledgebase and hundreds of years of insight – never visit the developing world. 
 

Likewise, does it matter that most scientists in the developing world are so lacking in resources – so short of information, as well as equipment and finances – that it is impossible for them to carry out the essential scientific research required to find solutions for so many of their most chronic problems? 

Of course it matters.  It matters to the scientists who are powerless to help themselves, unable to do much in the way of productive work, and it matters to their compatriots and others in the region that remain dependent on the developed world for new healthcare treatments and other helpful scientific and technological developments. 

And it matters to Mangosteen.

And if it doesn’t already matter to many developed world scientists, we believe that it could matter, that the fact that it doesn’t is primarily due to a lack of awareness, and that first-hand exposure is the key to understanding.
