why does he keep mentioning he was born 400 years after Galileo?

I am sure millions were also born on the same year, and tens of thousands of those are also scientists.

He was born on Jan. 8, 1942, exactly 300 years after Galileo died on Jan. 8, 1642. Maybe it's a big deal to him. Don't put him down for that.
