    I see nothing wrong with suggesting that, so long as it is made clear he is discussing one of many theoretical possibilities.

    Is he a kook? He does kinda look like one, but so do a lot of legit scientists, so that’s not a good measure.

      Not a kook. Legit scientist. He has a PhD in theoretical physics, not a theoretical PhD in physics. While he spends a lot of time as a science communicator, he has his bona fides.

      Yes, it’s all just theories and intuition like all nascent science.
