the process of Science involves extending from the known into the unknown.

A key idea often comes in a dream. There are also stories like this, famously by David Hilbert and Henri Poincaré.

Thankfully, as we all know, benzene is back.

The Ouroboros, a symbol of the universe recreating itself. A favorite symbol of John Wheeler. The universe and Consciousness, connected to each other, as one!

So the reason for the strong push back is always the same. People spend large sums of money studying GR SR and QM. Rightly so. It would be shameful to think it doesn't apply, wouldn't it. But that's no reason to dismiss other theories that push the boundaries of knowledge. That's how scientific methods work. Push the boundaries to progress. So let's do just that, push those boundaries. Peace ✌️ 😎. Let's push together.

people only believe what they can understand and relate to. That is why we find mythology and dumbfounded stories around scientific facts and discoveries.
while in sum most of the time that is a translated form of the understanding from a scientist to a layman.

This agrees with my hypothesis, based on my own experience with dreams, that dreams (our subconscious) have a very perceptive intelligence of their own, not limited by our conscious mind, which have somewhat the nature of objective, unbiased reality.
