I have two science degrees (not bragging), and zero point energy and hyperdimentional physics is utterly facinating. The potential of this fiels of research is great.

Remember scientists throughout history have been laughed at, imprisoned, and killed for their beliefs/research. At one time, everyone thought the world was flat.

They laughed at Galileo, they laughed at Newton, they laughed at Einstein.

But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Were you thinking of Giordano Bruno who was eventually burnt by the Inquisition after doing everything in his power to flaunt his heresy all over Europe? If it were simply about his Gnostic cosmology, they would have left him alone.
