Oktay Sinanoğlu (born on August 2, 1934 in Bari, Italy) is a Turkish scientist specializing in theoretical chemistry and molecular biology. He describes himself in his autobiographical book as: "A person who was the world's youngest professor in the last 300 years,"[1] "at the peak point of science in the U.S.A.,"[2] "a man who reached the level to say, "I'm God" in science,"[3] "the Lord of the U.S.A.,"[4]and "The Turkish Einstein."[5]
Childhood and High School Years (1934-1953)
Sinanoğlu was born on August 2, 1934 in Bari, Italy, where his father (Nüzhet Haşim Sinanoğlu) served as a consul general. In 1939 - at the beginning of World War II - the family returned to Turkey. He graduated high school in Turkey in the year 1953. This high school's name was "Ankara Maarif College" since 1951.[6] The courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology in this school had been given by English teachers in the English language since 1949.[7][8] Sinanoglu learned the English language very well in this high school.
Serving to American Military Intelligence, at the age of 18
In his autobiographical book entitled "Turkish Einstein Oktay Sinanoglu" which was published in Turkey in the Turkish language (first printing in October 2001 and 70. printing in April 2011, the bestseller: 150.000 copy) he stated that, in the summer holiday 1952-1953, he applied to the JAMMAT "Joint American Military Mission for Aid to Turkey" (renamed JUSMMAT in 1958)[9][10][11] to get a job as a translator. His application was accepted by the U.S. Army Staff in Ankara, and he was sent on duty to Erzurum as translator for Secret G2 Military Intelligence Agents Sergeant Kowalski and Sergeant Peterson.[12] After graduating in 1953, a scholarship was given to him by the Fulbright Program to study chemistry in the United States.[13] According to the agreement, students were elected by the U.S. Education Commission in Turkey, but funding of the scholarship was provided by the government of Turkey, because Turkish students will return after graduation in the U.S.A to become teachers in Turkey. Sinanoglu was sent with this expectation to the U.S.A.
An University Student in U.S.A. (1953-1960)
He arrived in New York on September 25, 1953.[14] According to his autobiographical book mentioned above, he stayed one year in Missouri [clarification needed], after which he went to California and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1956, with highest honors in chemical engineering. Afterwards, in eight months, he earned a Master's degree with highest honors from MIT (1957); and after this, in two years, he finished his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley (1959).[15] And he finished his one-year postdoctoral research appointment at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California Berkeley (1959-1960).[16] So, his pupilage ended in 1960.
Violating Scholarship Agreement and Military Service Obligation for to Live in U.S.A.
According to the 1953 scholarship agreement, after graduation, Sinanoglu was obligated to return to Turkey to teach chemistry to Turkish students.[17] Sinanoglu stated in his autobiographical memoirs that: "Returning to Turkey to teach chemistry to Turkish students in the English language was worse than death, a horrible and dishonorable thing. İnstead of this, to stay in the U.S.A. and to teach chemistry to American students in the English language was a more honorable thing. I swore that: I will not return to Turkey; I will stay in the U.S.A and I will be a chemistry teacher in American universities.”[18] So, Sinanoglu violated the 1953 scholarship agreement and did not return to Turkey. But there was a second problem: According to the military service obligation laws of his country, after finishing his studies in 1960, Sinanoglu was to return to Turkey to fulfill an 18-month military service obligation. The penalty for violating the scholarship agreement was a fine: the payment of a sum of money. But the penalty for violating one's military service obligation was the cancellation of one's passport and visa; this penalty could not be paid by money in those years (1960s). He stated in his autobiographical book: "Theoretical Physcist Feza Gursey wrote to me a letter and invited to me the Middle East Technical University which it was establishing in Ankara, Turkey. But I couldn't return to Turkey because of military service obligation. If I went to Turkey, I would be a soldier for 2-2,5 years."[19] Easy way to stay in U.S.A. was the marriage and to make a child in U.S.A.
A Fake First Marriage With A "Masonic Club Member" In University of California, for the Sake of Staying and Living in U.S.A.
"Miss Yvonne"s surname was "Ester" in 1958 yearbook of University of California. But, her surname turned to "Mrs. Sinanoglu" in 1960 yearbook of mentioned University. She was recorded on this yearbook as "Child Development, Premed Society, Tower&Flame, Masonic Club". Sinanoglu and Yvonne married in the last months of 1959. So, a girl born to the Yvonne and Oktay Sinanoglu in 26 June 1960 in Alameda of California. (Oakland Tribune, July 13, 1960). With marriage and born a girl in the last year of his pupilage, Sinanoglu guaranteed to stay in the U.S.A. to teach chemistry to American students. So, in the last months of 1960, he became an assistant professor at Yale University.
Second marriage with a "National Security Agent" (NSA) at Yale University
His first marriage was short-lived, so he met and became engaged to Miss Paula Armbruster at Yale University. According to a document dated 20 September 1960, "CIA Historical Review Program Release in Full 1998", she was employed by the National Security Agency at the time.[20] She had a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Connecticut, and also a Master's degree from Yale University in Southeast Asia Area Studies, with an emphasis on Vietnamese History and a minor in Chinese. They planned to marry. When Sinanoglu went to the Turkish Consulate in New York for the visa extension,[21] he learned that, according to Turkey’s military service laws, the age limit for postponement of the military service obligation was 36 only for internationally successful Turkish scientists whose international success was announced by news agencies to the world.[22] In this case, in order to rid himself of the obligation to return to Turkey for military service, international press news was necessary regarding Sinanoglu’s scientific success. But no scientific discovery of Sinanoglu's was announced by international news agencies during this time. Because of this, Sinanoglu was appointed “full professor” effective July 1, 1963; and it was announced on May 22 by international news agencies that he was the “youngest full professor in the last century at Yale University.” Within a few days, this news was translated and published by Turkish newspapers in Turkey. And so, Sinanoglu no longer had an obligation to return to Turkey for military service, and he was allowed to stay in the U.S.A. in accordance with Turkey’s military service postponement conditions. But nobody questioned whether his “youngest professorship” record was true or false.
A Fake "Youngest Professor" Title
He became a full professor at Yale University, effective 1 July 1963, at the age of 28 years, 11 months. But he was mistakenly proclaimed by Yale as "the youngest person in the past century at Yale to attain status as a full professor."[23][24] In truth, Robert Hutchins held that honor, being a full professor at Yale at the age of 28 years, 4 months, in 1927.[25][26] Sinanoglu went on record as the "Youngest Professor at Yale University" by using a false birth date (February 25, 1935) to show himself, at the age of 28 years, 3 months, to be six weeks younger than the youngest professor recorded, Robert Hutchins (on top of it, by deceiving record holder Hutchins who was living at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions - University of California, Santa Barbara at the time). And then, when he returned to Turkey, by changing the words "in 1963" to "in 1962", by changing the words "at the age 28" to "at the age 26", changing also the words "at Yale University" to "in the world", and changing the words "in the past century" to "in the past 300 years", he proclaimed himself to be the "Youngest Professor in the World in the past 300 years."[27] He stated in his autobiographical book, "I am at the peak point of science in the U.S.A."[28] and "A man who reached the level to say "I'm God" in science."[29] By using this false "holder of youngest professorship record" title, which depended upon using a false birth date approximately fifty years ago, he deceived the American and Turkish nations and the whole world. Thus, he gained a great deal of wealth and prestige, much more than most professors could acquire. The documents are shown below. According to an announcement by Yale University published by the international press, “Robert Hutchins was the “Youngest Full Professor” at Yale University in 1927 at the age of 28 years 4 months. Later, Sinanoglu was made full professor effective July 1, 1963 at the age 28 years 3 months, according to his birth date of February 25, 1935. So the “Youngest Professor Record” of Hutchins was broken by Sinanoglu, who was six weeks younger than Hutchins.” (The New York Times, 22 May 1963.)
In fact, Sinanoglu had declared three different birth dates in the United States: First was the public record of August 2, 1934.[30][31] The second was December 1, 1934,[32] a date that Sinanoglu fabricated for purposes of acquiring the "youngest professor" title when he was appointed as mid-level "associate' professor" at Yale. And the third was February 25, 1935, a date that Sinanoglu fabricated for purposes of acquiring the “youngest 'full' professor” title. His exact and true birth date was given as August 2, 1934 in the U.S. Public Records[33][34] (not February 25, 1935 and not December 1, 1934). When he was made full professor, effective July 1, 1963 at Yale University, he was aged 28 years 11 months—actually 7 months older than “Youngest Professor” record holder Robert Maynard Hutchins. As a result, Sinanoglu acquired the title of “Youngest Professor” by declaring a false birth date of February 25, 1935. And by announcing his false “Youngest Professor” title through international news agencies, he rid himself of his obligation to return to Turkey for military service. The need to create a fake record for the “youngest professorship” for publication in international newspapers and magazines shows that Sinanoglu didn’t have any scientific discovery worthy of international news until 1963. All of this was part of an advertising campaign by Yale University President Kingman Brewster, Jr., in accordance with "Cold War" policy. (The New York Times, 13 October 1963, page 1, col. 3). Because of these, Brewster papers in Yale are closed to research until 2052.[35]
A Brillant Student, But An "Almost A Washout" Professor
Professor Kenneth Sanborn Pitzer of the University of California, Berkeley, said about his student Sinanoglu that he was "almost a washout" (fiasco, failure, bust, debacle, dud):
- "He first took an undergraduate course in thermodynamics with me while in a chemical engineering major, went to MIT for graduate work in chemical engineering, and decided he liked basic science better than engineering. After getting a master's degree there, he came back here and wanted to work for a Ph.D. and do chemistry with me. I took him on. He was a very able young man. The calculations we did about very simple molecules on a simple surface was a pioneering calculation which other people have followed up on in more detail. I didn't follow it up any further, and I don't think Sinanoglu did either. He went on to Yale, was promoted very rapidly there to a regular professorship, but I think was rather disappointing in his career as a whole, considering this very promising start. Nonetheless, he did commendable work at Yale, just not as outstanding as his early promise had suggested. (...) Hughes: I've noticed throughout our discussions that you often mention associations with universities that are not considered to be in the top rank. Is there any explanation? Pitzer: Well, it's true that of my students that have gone into academic work elsewhere, few of them have shown up in what you'd call Ivy League or other truly first-line institutions. Well, the one that would have been most capable of doing it, Pimentel, was here and stayed here, as did Gwinn. Curl was from Texas in the first place, in fact had been a Rice undergraduate, and to what extent he might have attained a position in one of these other institutions I think would have been an open question. He did have a short postdoc period at Harvard, but I'm sure Rice was coaxing him back, and he looked with favor at that. It's a very good institution. It's at a very high quality level, but it's small. And he is the one who won a Nobel Prize. Amusingly enough, the one that did end up in an Ivy League institution, as far as I was concerned was almost a washout. [laughing] A very interesting chap, of Turkish origin, Oktay Sinanoglu. [tape interruption] He'd started out to be a chemical engineer and decided he liked physical chemistry better, did a very nice thesis on molecules observed on a surface, which has been taken as a basis for a good deal of further work by him and by others. Three papers came out of his thesis work, all very commendable. He very soon landed a regular position at Yale and was strongly backed by a theorist there. Sinanoglu was purely a theorist. But I don't think that he came up to the level of accomplishment later of several of the people that I have already mentioned." (University of California, Berkeley, University History - Oral History Series, 1999, pages 136, 211.)[36]
Sinanoglu's Ph.D and post-doctoral research director/ advisor Professor K. S. Pitzer, explained with these words that how his student Sinanoglu fell to the level of "almost a washout" after going to an "Ivy League" University (Yale). In fact, Sinanoglu also explained in 1973 in the "Yale Daily News" that Pitzer's chemistry teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, was perfect; but chemistry education at "Ivy League" Yale University was "almost a washout":
- "Chem Challenged" - "Chemistry Professor Sinanoglu had indicated that the average amount of the stipends will be raised also. This is not unusual an action as it may seem. For example Berkeley University, with a chemistry department of worldwide prominence, has raised its stipend to $4100 to attract graduate students in chemistry." (Yale Daily News, no.99 February 27, 1973. p. 6 Column 1.)[37]
Professor Kenneth Sanborn Pitzer died in 1997 without learning how his “almost a washout” student was appointed as the “youngest full professor” at Yale. But Sinanoglu approved Pitzer’s “almost a washout” term in his own memoirs published in 2001. Sinanoglu stated in his book:
- “Pitzer said to me that: “Don’t go to Yale University.” (…) I didn’t heed Pitzer and I went to Yale. But 20 years after, sometimes I thought that Pitzer was right."[38]
Life justified Pitzer. So Sinanoglu could be only 8 times a news subject in Yale Daily News.[39] Firstly, when he came to Yale University as chemistry lecturer,[40] secondly, when he received Sloan's research fellowship,[41] after when he was claimed youngest professor, (But approximately 50 years later, it was understood that this news was false)[42] and then when he received the Sloan grant,[43] when he received an award from the Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Foundation,[44] when his book was printed,[45] when he criticized the chemistry curriculum,[46] and at the end, about the chemistry curriculum again.[47] That's all. There was no news of any scientific discovery by Sinanoglu proclaimed by Yale Daily News since he was appointed as a full professor in 1963 in Yale University until today.
"A man who reached the level to say "I'm God" in science."
In spide of everything, he claimed himself in his autobiographical book that: "I am at the peak point of science in the U.S.A."[48] and "A man who reached the level to say "I'm God" in science."[49]
Interviewer Emine Caykara asked Sinanoglu, "Where are your documents, testimonials, congratulations, inventions, patents, discoveries?" Sinanoglu replied: "My theories were owned by Professor K. S. Pitzer as a joint inventor when I did my Ph.D thesis and postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley. And then, my theories were stolen by Professor Fred Richards when I was professor at Yale University. And all of my testimonials, congratulations, inventions, documents that were accumulated over 30 years were destroyed by department chairman Professor Phil Lyons at Yale University." The interviewer said: "This was a crime! Did you take him to court?" Sinanoglu replied: "No. How could I prove it?" [50]
Fake Curriculum Vitae And Artifical Scientific Publications List
Sinanoglu stated in his autobiographical book that he did his Ph.D thesis and postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley, under the direction and advisory but without any contribution or participation of Professor Kenneth Sanborn Pitzer; but when his theses was published in scientific journals, the name of K. S. Pitzer was also added after his name as co-author, and so his own thesis was owned by Pitzer as joint inventor. Sinanoglu declared that: "I didn't do to my students like Pitzer did to me."[51] But, he violated the academic authorship and reference rules 62 times in his "Scientific Publications List". So he included in his autobiographical book a list of scientific articles that were authored by him and published in scientific journals in the U.S.A. and worldwide.[52] In fact, in 62 of these articles, the name "Sinanoglu" was shown in last place (as thesis advisor or contributor) in the original publications. But, by violating the referencing rules[53] Sinanoglu moved his name from last position to first position for the 62 articles in the list that he included in his autobiographical book. So he deceitfully showed himself as owner of the 62 theses that rightfully belonged to other scientists whose names were in first place as author of these articles in the original publications. That is the names of authors whose names moved from the forth position to back position by Sinanoğlu:
[Notice: The numbers in parantheses shows the numbers of articles in the Sinanoglu’s deceitly publications list.[54]]

Moreover, in his deceitly publications list, Sinanoglu cleaned the names of authors C. A. Nicolaides and D.R.Beck from the article which he numbered as (109)[140] so he owned their article alone.
And Sinanoglu cleaned the name of Kestner from the article which he numbered as (46)[141] so he owned this article alone.
And although the article (104) published in scientific journal with only author H. O. Pamuk’s sign[142]; Sinanoglu added his name as first author and owned Pamuk's this article.
Discoveries:
Sinanoglu stated in his autobiographycal book that: "When I did new inventions and discoveries; I created also the names and the terms of them myself in English."
Fake Solver of an "Unsolved Mathematical Problem for Fifty Years"
He stated that he authored the "Many-Electron Theory of Atoms and Molecules" (tr:Atom ve Moleküllerin Çok Elektronlu Teorisi) in 1961 so he solved a mathematical theorem that had been unsolved for fifty years.[143][144] In fact, he didn't solve any unsolved mathematical theorem.[145][146]
Fake Inventor of "Solvophopic"
Sinanoglu proclaimed that the term "solvophobic" was created by himself in 1964. But, in fact, before him, the term "solvophobic" was used in the year 1953 in the "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology"[147] and the term "Solvophobic Theory" are showing on the index of this encyclopedia in p. 871.[148] Moreover, F. E. Bailey, Jr. used the term "solvophobic" in the year 1958;[149] and Paul Becher used the term "solvophobic" in the year 1960.[150]
Fake Inventor of "Molecular Biology"
Sinanoglu stated in his autobiographical book that he got his second life-long chair at Yale in Molecular Biology in 1964, and thus was one of five creators of "Molecular Biology" in the 1960s.[151] But, in fact, the department of "Molecular Biology" was established in April 1962 at Yale University before Sinanoglu was named full professor. This department's first creators were Norman Giles, Edward Adelberg, Fred Richards, Jui Wang, Julian Sturtevant, and Franklin Hutchinson.[152] (Yale Daily News, no. 126, April 27, 1962.) The name "Sinanoglu" is not among the creators of "The Department of Molecular Biology" at Yale University. And the term "Molecular Biology" was first used by Warren Weaver in 1938 (when Sinanoglu was four years old).[153] Sinanoglu was not a pioneer of Molecular Biology, but he decided to become entitled through the use of a fake title.
Fake Inventor of "Micro-Thermodynamics"
He stated that the term "micro-thermodynamics" was created by him in 1981.[154] But, in fact, this term was used by K. Büttner in 1938.[155]
Fake Inventor of "Molecule Surface Area"
He stated that the term "molecule surface area" was created by him in the 1980s.[156] But, in fact, this term was used by Guilford Leroy Mack in 1931,[157] and later used by J. H. Hildebrand and R.L. Scott in 1950.[158]
Fake Inventor of the "Surface Area of Proteins"
Sinanoglu stated in his authobiographic book that: "I created the term "surface area of proteins" in the 1970s, but Yale University Molecular Biology Division Director Prof. Fred Richard stole my "surface area of proteins" discovery"[159] In fact, the term "surface area of proteins" was used in 1948 by Sidney W. Benson and David A. Ellis.[160]
Fake Inventor of the "Mathematical Chemistry"
He stated in his book that he was the inventor of "Mathematical Chemistry" in 1980s. But, in fact, the Mathematical Chemistry invented by Georg Ferdinand Helm in the year 1894 (100 years before Sinanoglu).[161] Georg Helm's book "The Principles Of Mathematical Chemistry" book translated in English and printed in the year 1897. Copies of this book was in the library of University of California Berkeley since 1897. First journal of Mathematical Chemistry (named "MATCH") was published in 1975.[162] There is no the name Sinanoglu among the members of the "International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry".[163]
Fake Inventor of the "Chemical Reactions Network Theory"
Sinanoglu stated in his book that he invented the "Chemical Reactions Network Theory" in 1973-74. But, in fact, in 1967, Robert L. Gorring and Vern W. Weekman wrote about the "chemical reaction network" in their book titled "Applied Kinetics and Chemical Reaction Engineering," which was printed by American Chemical Society Publications. (See p.90.)[164] And then Ph.D. James J. Carberry (Professor of Chemical Engineering) wrote an article on the "chemical reaction network," and on 13 March 1969, he presented this article by illustrating with slides at the University of Notre Dame; and in November 1969, this article was published under the title of "Engineering Aspects Of Heterogeneous Catalysis" in the journal "Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences."[165] And finally, the "theory" of "chemical reaction network" was invented by Horn, Jackson and Feinberg in January 1972.[166] Dr. Jeremy Gunawardena stated in his article entitled "Chemical Reaction Network Theory" that this theory "has been developed over the last 30 years (in January 1972), initially through the work of Horn and Jackson[167][168] and subsequently by Martin Feinberg[169] and his students."[170] (See the article of , Harvard University, p.1). Sinanoglu was also a professor at Harvard University. And this article was written and published at Harvard University. Thus, Sinanoglu was not the inventor of the "Chemical Reactions Network Theory."
Fake Director of Argonne National Laboratory
And he stated that he was "The Director of Argonne Laboratory between 1970-1973." [171] In fact, he was a member of the review committee for chemistry; but he never was "Director" of the Argonne National Laboratory.[172] The Director of Argonne was Robert B. Duffield between 1967-1973.[173][174]
Fake Member of National Academy of Sciences
Sinanoglu stated that he was a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 1964-1965.[175] But, in fact, Sinanoglu's name is not on the NAS members list.[176]
Fake "First and Only One" Titles
Sinanoglu stated in his autobiographical book that he was the first person who received the "Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Foundation Award" (abbreviation in Turkish Language: TUBITAK) in 1966. But, in fact, this award was shared between Prof. Dr. Talat Erben and Prof. Dr. Oktay Sinanoglu[177] firstly was given to Talat Erben, and after to Sinanoglu. So, Talat Erben's name is above and Sinanoglu's name is below in the official records of TUBITAK. [178]
Sinanoğlu claimed that he was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1973 and was the 'one' and 'only' Turkish scientist who had this membership until then. But, in fact, other Turkish scientists like Feza Gursey, Halil Inalcik, Aziz Sancar, Osman Nur Yalman, Kamil Ugurbil, Daron K. Acemoglu, etc., were members of the American Academy.[179]
Sinanoglu claimed in his autobiographical book that he was the "first" to earn the Alexander von Humboldt Science Prize in 1973 that it was the "Nobel of Germany". His claim was false. He was not the "first". Because, this award was established in the years 1964, 1965 as a "Research Fellowship" and up to 300 scientist (without to be "internationaly known") received this "research fellowship award" every year in U.S.A.[180][181] One of the first awardees, according to The American Chemical Society Directory of Graduate Research (1979, page 235), Biochemist Brian Green (b.1935) so he earned this award in 1964 when he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maine - Orono. In 1972, this award took a new shape as "Humboldt Foundation United States Senior Scientist Award" and it was given up to 100 American Scientist per year. Sinanoglu was not the first recipient of this award in 1973. Because award began in 1972 with it's new format and 100 United States Scientist earned this award before Sinanoglu (like Robert Lee Ellis[182] Dieter R. Brills, Robert Griffiths, Warren F. Davis, Yoshio Shimamoto,Thomas W. Parks, etc.) The explanation on the certificate given by Humboldt Foundation to Sinanoglu was that: "The American Scientist received the Humbold-Award [Senior U.S. Scientist Award] in recognition of his scientific achievements in research and teaching. This award is granted within the frame of a special program established by the Federal Republic of Germany in commemoration of the Europeen Recovery Program initiated by George C. Marshall. The Award entitles the awardee to carry out research of his own choise in the Federeal Republic of Germany and Berlin (West)."[183] As shown on certificate, it was a research fellowship award (it doesn't like Nobel Prizes).
He stated that he earned the Alfred P. Sloan "Prize" in 1961. But, in fact, this was a in the year 1962 (not in 1961) and it was a "research fellowship" (not a "prize").[184] He received this "grant" (not a "prize") secondly on February 23, 1964, (not 1961) for basic research in chemistry - and he was one of 94 recipients.[185] (Yale Daily News, no. 94, February 26, 1964.) and (The Bridgeport Post, Monday, February 24, 1964, page 19).[186]
He stated that he won "Japan's International Outstanding Scientist Award" in 1975. This was erroneous. This award was begun in 1985 (not 1975).[187] And the name Sinanoglu is not among the recipients.[188] The award that Sinanoglu actually won was a special award given by the "Japan Society for the Promotion of Science" (JSPS) in reference to Kyoto University's "Visiting Professorship Programme", "Invitation of Foreign Scientists, Short-term Fellowships."[189][190]
He stated in his autobiographic book that, in the 1980s, he constructed methods, then considered revolutionary, for predicting chemical behavior using simple pictures and periodic tables. But, in fact, his method has never been used.
Sinanoglu stated that he founded the Center for Theoretical Studies (University of Miami) in 1964-1965.[191] But, in fact, this center was founded by Professor Behram Kursunoglu, who was known as a critic of Albert Einstein's Theory.[192][193][194]
And Sinanoglu stated in this book that he nominated Kenichi Fukui for the Nobel Prize and the Nobel Committee gave the prize to Fukui for the sake of Sinanoglu.[195] But his declaration was false: Sinanoglu nominated someone for the Nobel Prize only two times; the first was for "physiology of medicine for 1977"; and the second "for chemistry for 1995".[196] But the Nobel Prize was given to Kenichi Fukui for "chemistry" in "1981".[197] This date shows that Sinanoglu's claim was false.
Sinanoglu also stated in this book that the Turkish Republic changed the age limit for postponement of military service from 32 to 36 by passing a special law in the year 1961 especially for him, so that his scientific achievements could continue in the U.S.A.[198] But, in fact, this law was not created for his sake. The name of the famous Turkish scientist for whom this law was passed was "Naci Bor".[199] The date of this law was April 13, 1961; but Sinanoglu was not a full professor on this date.
Converting to Buddhism
In 1985 he entered Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist Sect Organisation. [Milliyet, 29.05.1985, page 3: "Turk Profesor Sinanoglu Budist Oldu" - "Huzuru Buda'da Buldum"][200] Buddhist newspaper "Soka Gakkai News" published some interviews with him in 1985[201] And then, he published his scientific articles from Sterling Chemistry Laboratory (P.O.Box 6666 Yale University)[202]
Autobiograpy of a Fake Einstein
In 1993, he moved back to Turkey to teach at the Yıldız Teknik Universitesi, officially retiring in the year 2001 at the age of 67, according to his birthdate of August 2, 1934.
In 2001, a book about his life was published in Turkey, put together by writer and historian Emine Caykara.[203] The title of this book is "The Turkish Einstein, Oktay Sinanoglu." [204] This bestseller's last printing was done by Sinanoglu's publisher wife in 2011.[205] This book included the all subjects that was mentioned above.
During the advertising campaign and on the back cover of Sinanoglu's autobiographical book, he called himself "a person who has been the world's youngest professor in the past 300 years!"[206] This book, in which he propagated anti-American sentiments in Turkey, was introduced by Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskey Co. with full page newspaper ads on November 4, 2001.[207] He stated in this book that, after arriving in America for education, he was "The Lord Of U.S.A" and he returned to Turkey for fighting against the U.S.A.[208] However, a great many people in Turkey read this book without criticizing it; and they believed that Sinanoglu was the world's "Very İmportant Scientist," like Albert Einstein; and they believed whatever Sinanoglu stated in this book was true. Several million students were admirers of Sinanoglu. Some of them wanted to translate his biography from Turkish into English. However, Sinanoglu declared in a televised speech that he would not permit the translation and publication of this book in the U.S.A.[209]
He stated in this book that his scientific research efforts continue [clarification needed], that he has been to Asia and Latin America, and that he has received several international and local awards concerning his scientific and social contributions and efforts. But, in fact, the awards which he mentioned were actually political and the "scientific masks" of the political missions of "Cold War" policies. So he has worked to establish communications between Japan, India, and Turkey. Because of his efforts, he was given the title of "Special Emissary" to Japan. These were not scientific relations. Rather, under the scientific relations masks, these "special" workings were in accordance with the "concentric circles" policy of NATO against Russia and China in the 1960s and 1970s. He has worked for improvements in education and the purification of language in Turkey for most of his life, and striven to form a 'conscious generation' in Turkey.

- ^ Going to America through the American Fulbright Scholarship, at the age of 19 The Turkish Fulbright Commission was established by a binational agreement signed between the United States and Turkey in December 27, 1949. The Commission supports Turkish and American graduate students, academicians and secondary school teachers through grants which include travel and living expenses, and offers educational advising for Turkish students wishing to study in the U.S. Since the creation of the Commission in 1949, funding has been provided by the government of Turkey. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program. It enables U.S. students and artists to benefit from unique resources in every corner of the world, and students, teachers, and academics from all over the world to study in the U.S. The Fulbright Program provides every opportunity to gain international competence in an increasingly interdependent world. The U.S. Congress created the Fulbright Program in 1946, immediately after World War II, to foster mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchanges. Senator J. William Fulbright, sponsor of the legislation, saw it as a step toward building an alternative to armed conflict. The Fulbright 50th Anniversary Commemoration was celebrated in 1996. http://www.fulbright.org.tr/en/the-fulbright-program
