Thunderf00t is not a credible source, even if he's right sometimes, it's in the "a broken clock is right twice a day" sense. So these aren't good videos.

He is a scientist with published papers, and he seems to have a decent understanding of physics.

Obviously scientists are not perfect, but you seem to imply that most of his videos are incorrect. I can't see any evidence to support that, but I'm happy to be contradicted.

There are many mentally deranged people who have published papers and are "scientists".

That's true, but it could be interpreted as a distraction from the fact that you haven't provided any evidence to support your claim.

In my experience, few mentally deranged people have a good understanding of physics. Even fewer have published in 'Nature'.
