Elway
Elway was a scientist who lived before the mid-23rd century. He developed a theory on inter-dimensional travel that came to be known as the Elway Theorem.

Even though by the 2260s Elway Theorem had proved to be entirely inaccurate, he was still taught to Starfleet Academy entrants in the 24th century. Wesley Crusher spent two hours learning about him in astral physics in 2365. ()
