Great break thoughts are usually met sceptically. They rarely happen.
Great (dumb ideas) happen 30 times/second and are met sceptically.
Chances are my ideas are the latter type.
Example:
In 1901 J.B. Watson, Chief Engineer at the Tamarack copper mine (S. of Calumet, Mich.) suspended two 4250 foot long plumb lines down mine shafts. Measurements showed that
the plumb lines were farther apart at the bottom than at the top, contrary to expectations.
If the earth was round and we are on the outside then the plumb lines would converge at the center of the earth. (did not happen)
The plumb lines separated. They then would converge at the center of the earth. A hallow concave earth. (did happen)

With a concave earth it is real hard to see my Nobel Prize on the horizon.
