Thompson subjectively rejected his objective findings - and the same findings have been rejected ever since - for the reasons described by (mathematician) Sullivan.
This is Thompson's speculation, not that of Sullivan.
Google makes very easy work of referencing things.
Where's the beef?


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
