Maybe Mahoney is just another insignificant patent clerk waiting for his big break.
Then maybe Mahoney should tear a page from the Einstein playbook and submit his ideas to the appropriate peer reviewed journals. In fact, if he wants to go full Einstein, perhaps he can offer specific things that would utterly disconfirm his theory if they came to light.
I don't remember Einstein selling his ideas in a movie he made over which he enjoyed full editorial control and that he marketed to an audience predisposed to accepting his conclusions because it stroked their need for validation on something they already believed because their holy book said so.
please Einnie, did something far worse, He sold himself to governmental propaganda to help prop up the sale of war bonds and ultimately pushed the US to develop the first atomic bomb. Einnie used his access to the media to push whatever he passionately believed in. This is not any different that what has happened here with this movie.
