{{g}}[[John Biggs| | {{g}}[[John Biggs|J. M. F. Biggs]], 3rd Viscount of Canning Town (1933-2007) was a British financial naturalist. Deeply influenced by pioneering Channel Islands botanist {{author|Ichabod Mourant}}, Biggs came to national prominence when he derived the “[[Biggs constant]]” from a set of equations discovered amongst Mourant’s papers when the great man died in 1958. Biggs used the equations to calculate the smallest possible size for a forensically significant jurisprudential particle. | ||
Later that same year, when experimenting on a “Boats” [[repackaging]] in his laboratory in Cabot Square, he used [[Biggs constant]] to generate a live example of this particle, which he called the “[[Biggs hoson]]”. Though impressed with tremendous gravity when it appeared, the particle quickly decayed into an object of infinitesimal mass but tremendous, enduring levity. | |||
In recognition of his efforts, Biggs was awarded [[Inhouse legal team of the year|inhouse legal personality of the year]], 1998. | In recognition of his efforts, Biggs was awarded [[Inhouse legal team of the year|inhouse legal personality of the year]], 1998. |
