    So the Roman empire has not collapsed? Which dynastic emperor is in charge of China now? And the various European colonialist countries? Not to mention the Mayans and Incas that are still ruling South America...

  3. When you see responses like this, you can ignore it because it's an Appeal to Authority fallacy. Feel free to look up the Warburg Effect.

    When you read the words "new theory" and you're not an academic researching in the same field, you should ignore it, because that means it isn't yet well-established.

    When you see words like "new theory" next to words that talk about the speaker's qualifications, you should understand that you're being sold something. If there was something newly considered proven, the appeal would be to a published study and the published studies that verified it, not to the letters next to a speaker's name.

    Don't be credulous of authority, printing letters next to a name is cheap and easy.
