Richard Buckminster Fuller lends his name to a complex Carbon structure called Buckminsterfullerene also known as Bucky Balls.
Fuller documented his life every 15 minutes from 1915 to 1983, leaving 80 meters (270 feet) of journals. He called this the Dymaxion Chronofile. That is said to be the most documented human life in history.
