Historical Note on Fischer-Griess Monster
The existence of the Fischer-Griess Monster was first deduced by Bernd Fischer in $1973$, but he did not publish this finding.
In $1976$, Robert Louis Griess, Jr. made the same discovery from a different direction.
In $1981$, Griess finally managed to construct the actual Fischer-Griess Monster itself.
