Billionaire title doesn't make scientific claims any more true. Tom Cruise may be billionaire too, but claims to believe in some crap, for whatever reasons.

Just to make my point clear, I'm not against J. Simons. I'm against using billionaire titles for defending scientific theories.

The article seems to be published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, which is considered seriously by physicists [0]. That title would be a valid response to schlagetown, of course.

It wasn't clear in my comment, but I wasn't addressing the parent's "extraordinary claim" comment, but the "some guy" part.

TBH I didn't get through the article because my BS-meter went off.
