Oh, I have all sorts of goodies stashed in the garage, the basement, the shed, kitchen drawers and other assorted places. I even manage to use a thing or 2 every once on a while. However, most have been carefully waiting their turn for several decades.
In some cases the "guy on internet" speaketh the truth!
Well, if that doesn't sum up the quality of our news sources. I don't know what does!

I'll take science over the guy drooling down the front of his bathrobe in his basement, every time.
Believe me, I have gotten LOTS and LOTS of calls from "the guy on the internet" over the years. Ahem. I just had one yesterday. Guy said he already has the plan to predict solar storms (a model science is spending tens of millions to develop), and it is highly accurate "but they won't listen to me because it flies in the face of their theories on global warming." Asked if I could set up a meeting with our top space scientists on the matter. Well, no.We had one guy several years ago who responded to a story I wrote and was so persistent in bothering a center director, just literally stalking him every day, because he had the solution to warp drive like in "Star Trek," and wanted a research grant to study it further. The police had to eventually come and escort him off campus. Dunno what happened to that Keyboard Warrior.

Well, don't be so quick. I may have a solution to warp drive too.

Are you a physicist? At least you say "may."
But Keyboard Warrior? He had the whole thing all worked out! Since the 1960s, there have been THEORETICAL solutions that THEORETICALLY work, but for now the energy required for just one ship is equal to the mass of Jupiter. Mathematically, no one can prove that it DOESN'T work, which keeps some people intrigued. Since the 1990s, there has been a small global cadre of scientists working on the problem but it is so far from the realm of actual practice that they do it as a sideline hobby, since no one will fund them. So please spare me, at least until quantum physics maybe manages to catch up.
