Thanks for placing all the rest of your claptrap into context so nicely,
this clearly shows the peasant mindset that created all these misapplied
attempts to insult.

Your alleged studies, as stated, do not lead to "physics with a minor in
astronomy" (that's your definition, no one else has that sort of take on
the astrophysics discipline) negating any number of your claims. I won't
use the descriptive that best suits you, reverting only to use charlatan
as one alternative appropriate term.

Of course, what else could we expect from someone who is incapable of
understanding the difference between reality and the pipe dreams he
constantly posts about. While you're there, say hello to your friends
and close associates Alice and the Mad Hatter.
