This article (with comments) may be a wonderful example for some people on this forum, to see how science really works...
It is not something that comes with just like that, an "idea" overnight, without any math knowledge, without any confirmation or predictions of new, unknown effects.. It requires a lifetime of hard studies and work.
It certainly does not happen like in Hollywood movies about lonely, half-mad unappreciated scientist, whose ideas suddenly get attention of the rest of the world because of some unexpected danger..
