Oh, I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood your point. My objection was to your use of the adjective "insane" to describe these physicists, some of whom are very eminent, and very renowned.

As a matter of fact, these physicists may be wrong or they may be right. Who knows? Perhaps science will tell us in 30 years time. However, whether they are right or wrong, I do not think it's quite fair to dismiss these physicists as "insane".

However, it now appears from your latest comment that you had merely doubted the existence of these physicists. So this is no longer a matter of being you being grossly unfair. It's simply a matter of you being completely wrong. For these physicists definitely do exist.

Ahhh, I'm glad I cleared that up for you. But no need to thank me, John. :P
