his failure to get his hypothesis published. He started attacking the system of peer review because string theory is currently the most popular hypothesis in finding a theory of everything.
Since his attempt at publishing his own theory of everything failed he went on a campaign accusing science of groupthink. Instead of addressing the criticism that he didn’t have enough math to back his work, it was the fault of groupthink. He continues this crusade against peer review by cherry picking examples to try to make the entire system look fatally flawed instead of going back and doing the work on his paper he failed to do.
