Stirling Colgate and Salim Kallas RIIIIP: War, Bombs and Stirling$

Listed on Wikipedia's Death in 2013 site under December 1st is:
Stirling Colgate, 88, American physicist
What stood out was his twin age at death re 88, and the fact that he was an American physicist.  Twin numbers are a particular trademark signature of the inner twin world and so I generally investigate notable persons who died while  at a twin age, such as Stirling.  That he was a physicist is  meaningful given the "war" content of my previous posts and given the fact that physicists generally build bombs.  On investigating  Stirling's wiki page nothing immediately  stood out so I dropped my investigation.  If his death had in fact timely, in other words: influenced by his inner twin and/or the inner twin world, then something usually  shows up in his date of birth to encourage me onward.
As it turns out he was born on November 14th   which doesn't mean anything to me.

 So at this point I moved on to this next person who stood out, listed under December 2nd:
As you can see, he too died at a twin age , note the following from his wiki page:
Salim Kallas (Arabicالعربية‎; 13 November 1936 − 2 December 2013)  
So Salim died one day after stirling and was born one day  before him.

It  then dawned on me that the name stirling is related to the word "star" re:     http://www.behindthename.com/name/sterling, which  is meaningful given that the number  8 shares the  same  key on my computer key board as the * asterisk.   I  also realize that this  word  is an addition     to the recent "Money/Cash/Rich" pattern-cluster, so I decided to investigate the word "sterling", note the etymology:
sterling (n.) Look up sterling at Dictionary.com
c.1300, "silver penny," probably from Middle English sterre (see star (n.)), according to OED "presumably" from the stars that appeared in the design of certain Norman coins, + diminutive suffix -ling. But starred coins were not especially common among Anglo-   Saxon currency, and the stars on them tended to be small. The other theory [Kluge] is that it derives from Old French estedre "stater" (see stater). Sense broadened by 1560s to "money having the quality of the sterling," and c.1600 to "English money in general." As an adjective from early 15c. From 1640s in general sense of "capable of standing a test" (as a sound coin would). A pound sterling was originally "a pound weight of sterlings," equal to about 240 of them.
The section in the above re "stater" is interesting because what immediately comes to my mind is : someone who makes a  "statement"...     a cryptic way of saying "speaker".  So then with that in mind, note this next excerpt from Sterling's wiki page:
The laboratory had been recently created by Edward Teller with encouragement from the United States Air Force in order to compete with Los Alamos weapons research. For the purposes of developing a hydrogen bomb, Teller assigned Colgate to the ... 



So note the surname "Teller"... very similar to "stater"!!  So off to Edward Tellers wiki page, note this excerpt:

Edward Teller (HungarianTeller Ede; January 15, 1908 – September 9, 2003
January 15th is both my  son's and   my partners birthday hence this is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster.
