and I am not. So I'm not allowed to read books that are designed to inform people who don't have scientific degrees and form any opinions. With your expertise you should be able to tell if the book is credible or not. Just read the forward by a nobel lauriate and the first chapter. You should be able to deduce whether that researcher is credible.

I don't believe the contents because someone published a book. You have mad an assumption and you haven't read it. Just read the forward and the first chapter. That's all you need. It's available used.
