I looked up "Quack" in the dictionary, and your picture was there.

"... (quacks) are basically 19th century physicists, except for the
fact that they don't understand even that. They focus on attacking the
physics of the 1st quarter of the 20th century & its results,
oblivious to the fact that it is backed up by all the dependent
theories & results since then. They want to return to the "good old
days", & constantly refer to archaic papers, as if history had
anything to say about recent experimental results."

Clearly, you would be a lot happier if you had been born 300 years
ago.
