It is a really great read so far. I could quote almost every sentence but settle for these which made me chuckle and will probably amuse others here.
>My parents were as helpful as they could be, given that they did not understand what this alien in their family was doing. My father was the type who always had to be in charge. When I told him what I was learning in school, especially later on when we got to relativity, he told me that this could not be true. So my father, I am sorry to say, was a bit of a crackpot.
>The number of people who have never studied science but still feel qualified to present their ideas is remarkably large: notably, 99% of them are male. Indeed, my mother did not have such theories. She did make it a point, many
years later, to tell me that she had been very smart in school. Unfortunately, the limitations experienced by so many women prevented her from pursuing this.
Thanks for sharing this, Never know such theoretical paper could be published on arxiv but this has opened me a huge amount possibilities to publish one of my one _SomeDay_
