Former presidential candidate Ron Paul is celebrating his 90th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed scientists of his generation.

Popular scientist-author-politician Ron Paul has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 90th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Paul, a cultural icon

Born Ronald Ernest Paul in Pittsburgh on August 20, 1935, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Paul's not just a great scientist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ron hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ron Paul as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 90.

Happy Birthday, Ron, you're the best!
