Who is John Leidlein?

"John Leidlein" is an Austrian scientist most known for his work with water. Leidlein grew up in the Austrian town of Fucking with his Mother and Father. HIs father was not around much due to working with Austrian Airlines. Growing up in Fucking was quite bland for Leidlein's scientific mind but he was curious how the water froze in his pond during the winter. He was amazed by how his pond froze faster than everyone elses and decided to investigate. This early childhood experimenting laid the platform for him creating a universally renowned scale, the "Leid Scale". The "Leid Scale" measures how frozen water is by comparing the visible ice crystals with the solidity of the ice, and judging the frozenness out of 100. Leidlein's creation of this scale earned him the Austrian Medal for Scientific Achievement in 1997.
