Malcolm Tunney
|
Dr Malcolm Tunney is a physicist and an old colleague, and rival, of Dr McKay's. He is a rich man and successful entrepreneur, working with business and industries rather than purely devoting himself to science. He is also known for stealing other people's ideas and using them to make big money. This is one of the reason Dr McKay loathes the man. McKay also suspects Tunney bribed the examiners to get his doctorate.
Historyseeking antebellumDr Tunney attends a physics conference in Sacramento, California in March 2006, which Dr McKay also attends as a listener. When they meet there, Tunney exclaims, surprised, that he thought McKay was dead. He also mocks Dr McKay's apparent lack of a date or wife. Dr McKay refuses to address Tunney as 'doctor'. McKay has a realization during this meeting: that he no longer has any dreams of wanting to be, in any way, like Malcolm Tunney.
