If that is your definition of a "kook," I am not one either. However,
don't you think you call me a "kook" in that restricted sense too
early? How do you know I do not wish to contribute to knowledge? I
just said that I have a 10.5 hour video coming out to make it
comprehensible to even high school students. Why you want to jump to
conclusions when you don't know enough to esteem me, much less paying me
the right esteem you give to Einstein?
Wait and you won't regret. Don't talk too early lest you offend a great
one! =
