In short, he's an self-important physics-PhD level quant.
He's not a crank in the sense in the sense that he'd scribble down meaningless symbols and call it math. But he's taking a leap to impy that a one-man-show theory would have a good chance of being phsyically right.
He's just in the lucky position to have an audience - otherwise there's be 1000's of cases like this. For that reason,
>>11540895 can't be "achieved". There can't be "more people like him," because there can't be more people in the focus of attention. There's already enough PhD students and beyond who have hep theories and never get heard of. For example, most of the profs in hep. They are all intelligent no-names working on similarly good theories.
