Yes, I wouldn’t go sinking money into this yet. There is a 99% or higher probability it is not going to pan out.
But on the other hand, so many “scientists” are utterly dismissive of anything that conflicts with current understanding and they rule academia in the US. Even noting observations that could potentially challenge the orthodoxy will get you blacklisted from ever publishing or being hired as a researcher.
I have witnessed “preposterous” theories in medicine eventually proven true. Those researchers had to step up with a large amount of evidence and dubious researchers had to confirm that evidence before the new theories were accepted.
During the same time other preposterous theories didn’t pan out. It is very difficult to tell from the outside who is the genius is. I would love to see the solar system opened up and hope this is genius, not crackpottery.
