I see the YouTubers are having some fun at Gollum's expense. Of course Gollum's status as a crackpot is readily confirmed by his own conduct. But the fact is he admits he is a crackpot!
This from a graduation speech he bored an audience with on May 17, 1998:
George Gollin Wrote:I realize that it was alarming, at first, to be taking physics from a crack pot, but you were good sports about it, and it added a certain amount of levity to the first tough physics course in your curriculum.

When a crackpot admits he is a crackpot, how can you disagree? And how can you quote an "expert" when the "expert" admits he is really a crackpot?
