 * Comment: I actually don't have a problem with the quote (which isn't a bad one), but perhaps it would be better served on the Physics page. I don't doubt that this quote exists and is contained in the cited textbook, but it seems to me it would be better on a theme page, since it is doubtful there would be more quotes from this person (who is correctly identified as lacking notability). ~ UDScott (talk) 14:03, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I would not have called this a textbook: it appears to be squarely in the genre of popular science. As such, the book did receive favorable reviews in some noteworthy sources; but citations at Google Scholar indicate no real impact. Notability of the author appears to be marginal, even though his latest book Farewell to Reality: How Modern Physics Has Betrayed the Search for Scientific Truth provoked some comment from noteworthy authors – mostly objecting that it cannot be taken seriously. ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I am surprised that he has no Wikipedia article; he easily passes WP:GNG in my opinion. As he has written quite a lot, it is likely that a few more quotes could be found.--Abramsky (talk) 13:48, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
