...and that Sarg guy published his genial solutions almost 20 years ago, but during all that time nobody but you understood how big genius he is. He even contributed about cold fusion, because yes, that's where he'll finally be understood!

Using the "crackpot index" you and he (on his own page, I won't put a link intentionally) both earn so many points it's not even funny.

Some selections from the "crackpot index" follow:

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html

5 points for each mention of "Einstien", "Hawkins" or "Feynmann".

10 points for each claim that quantum mechanics is fundamentally misguided (without good evidence).

10 points for pointing out that you have gone to school, as if this were evidence of sanity.

10 points for beginning the description of your theory by saying how long you have been working on it. (10 more for emphasizing that you worked on your own.)

10 points for claiming that your work is on the cutting edge of a "paradigm shift".

40 points for claiming that the "scientific establishment" is engaged in a "conspiracy" to prevent your work from gaining its well-deserved fame, or suchlike.

40 points for claiming that when your theory is finally appreciated, present-day science will be seen for the sham it truly is. (30 more points for fantasizing about show trials in which scientists who mocked your theories will be forced to recant.)
