I'll further posit that anyone who writes him off because he got a date wrong can go fuck off into their own pathos and not bother the rest of us. First of all, he wouldn't even be "wrong", per se.
When you consider the breadth/scope of his understanding, and the number of levels he's operating on/with, it's obvious that this date was arrived at over years of consideration. Nevertheless, June will very likely come and go without the complete erasure of Woo. He makes it clear that it is just the first crack in the shell, it's going to take years to play out. And whatever happens, none of it is "incorrect", especially in the context of Clif's herculean mind; rather, it's just more data to plug into his observing faculties. Period.
This man is, in my estimation, better than whatever it requires to win a Nobel Prize, because he's totally outside of that box, which is really where you need to be in order to work within seminal thinking, as opposed to adding to the existing cycles of thought/dialog that are being slowly consumed and regurgitated from one beak to another, over and over, slowly forming into something over the centuries. He's that rare rare rare person in history whose ideas will be relevant 1000 years from now. Just his Pulse theory alone is the single greatest explanation for "dark matter" that I've ever heard. I think it HAS to be dealt with. If I'm a physicist, whether quantum or theoretical, I'm looking hard at that. It's fucking BRILLIANT.
