I don’t personally buy into his ideas, but I have a lot of respect for this kind of dedication to fringe physics. If I found him at CES I’d be right there talking to him, making clear my deep skepticism. I might not give the time of day to those thousands of other exhibitors, few with an idea they can call their own. I also doubt that Smirky would hold up his end of a conversation with any conviction.

The best episodes are the ones where they turn the crazies loose on the scientists to answer questions.
