Western Roots All Mixed Up

Hmmm. I took a quick look at Dollard's Internet footprint out of curiosity. There was a time I would have devoured that stuff, but it's not where I am these days. Still, it sounds like he's doing with physics what I am doing with religion, and there are some strong parallels. In fact, his theories overlap things I've said about reality. His story is pertinent to my original post; sometimes it's worth facing the consequences of countering the mainstream.

He does seem heart-led, and I get that impression from his cynicism of the establishment and his love for music. Granted, some of his views could be exaggerated or misplaced, but there definitely is something there. He has odd ideas, like the sun being a giant electric transformer. I don't necessarily agree or disagree with him on points like those since I don't have the training to confirm or deny, but neither do I write him off completely because he's not an establishment thinker.

The scientist character in my book was patterned after him, though his active role in the story at large was minimal.
