Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

No true, he would've become a superhero like the meme suggests.

The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

Obviously he was actually a woman, or he wouldn't have died.

Don't give JK Rowling ideas.

Or turned intona superhero but is good at hiding it

What actually happened is Joliot turned into a supervilain, he killed Pierre Curie before he could become a superhero, but was ultimately defeated by Henri Bequerel, who is immortal.

I thought this was common knowledge.

In the meantime Irene Joliot died of the radiations, as everybody would expect.

Did anyone check Marie's grave?

Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell's - just to fuck with Einstein.

Not a male scientist.
