But that by itself doesn’t make the idea impossible.

Physics goes a long way toward making it impossible. Cold fusion is just modern perpetual motion.

I have Dirac on my bookshelf.
De Broglie, Einstein, Menzel, J. S. Bell, Maxwell.

Yur not talking to some clam-digger.

The changes in physics have been some of the most violent in the intellectual world.
That was a metaphor of sorts, but true nonetheless.

The Earth used to be the center of the universe. Then it wasn’t the center of the universe.

Newton figured out gravity and invented calculus.

Then, some odd things were found about Mercurys orbit, and Newton was shown to be wrong.

Then Einstein figured that one out.

Then the quantum world was discovered and much of what Einstein said (at least about space and time and locality) were thrown out.

The next change to physics will probably shake it to it’s very foundations.

That’s why things like this interest me. As possible pointers to whatever will come to be accepted (after a whole lot of grumbling and sneering and denigrating) as the new model of our understanding of the universe(s).

So you can deny it all you want, that by itself doesn’t make it true or untrue.

God does not play Dice!!
