Just learned that one of the best "S0 black ops" professors died last week. He is the one who pushed me on critical topics of catastrophism that lead to the complete story we have now. He spent his last 4 years secretly helping us, while continuing to consult/assist/publish in mainstream circles/topics that I often rail-against, and which he knew were flawed (his last co-authorship was 2016 but he never fully left the field). He made that sacrifice to stay hidden in plain sight, and I helped him do so by keeping this great secret as I still do with dozens of other professors and NASA scientists. Without him, Herschel would never have been the success it was, nor would NASA have jumped on board with the project. In cosmology, he wanted to reach out to Dr. Robitaille so badly, but never felt 'safe' in doing so due to the risks that came with it, despite my reassurances. He knew the importance of magnetism over gravity, and he immediately saw the merit in the galactic-solar-earth disaster physics at the heart of this channel. He gave me permission to reveal his truth after his passing, and I will do so when I process this loss. Goodbye Dr. TGP, I regret that I never made it out for that coffee and cake with you. I feel this so much right now - he was as much a part of S0s catastrophism as I am. :(
