    As a molecular engineer many many moons ago,,considered this man to be a genius
    in such olden times to come up with the number of a mole = 6.02214076×1023

    Dont think he had much of a social life and looks real dull anyway

    ABOUT_THE_MOLE

    but here is part:
    Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto(/ˌævəˈɡɑːdr/,alsoUS: /ˌɑːv-/,[Italian: [ameˈdɛːo avoˈɡaːdro]; 9 August 1776 – 9 July 1856) was an Italianscientist, most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. In tribute to him, the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in 1 mole of a substance, 6.02214076×1023, is known as the Avogadro constant, one of the seven SI base units and represented by NA.
