@yuviarora , obviously we have different standards for what "preeminent" means. Stephen Crothers is only preeminent in his own mind and with a small group of people unqualified to determine if he is or not. Pretty much everyone else thinks he is a quack.
@mapman, excuse me for bringing you into this, but I wanted to illustrate how you truly alienate people. I hope the mods will give me some latitude on this post.
This is what Stephen Crothers wrote to a fellow scientist for the simple act of not agreeing with him and thinking his work shoddy. Keep in mind, this is from Stephen himself.
He wrote this to close off a very long, professional and if you have any experience in these matters rather polite letter. It is here: http://www.sjcrothers.plasmaresources.com/letter-9.pdf
I must first apologise, as you for a gentleman I mistook. In all the email you sent me you included rude, arrogant, condescending, stupid, and insulting remarks. You have rightly earnt yourself a bloody nose, and if not for the distance between us I might well have visited you to deliver the causative blow, not because of your incompetent technical argument, but because your behaviour has been that of an arsehole. It seems that you are doomed to live and die a conceited shithead, and, moreover, a conceited shithead who cannot do even elementary geometry.
Stephen J. Crothers.
