What a load of crap. Is there something authentically working class about ignorance? Is "egregious" some kind of word that only pointy-heads use? Does physics have nothing to do with the lives of the "bulk of the six billion"? Would the "bulk of the six billion" be insulted to be thought so intellectually limited? This is populism of the most debased and braindead sort.
