This is a perfect example of a total misunderstanding of how science
develops. It's sort of like saying:

1. Ptolemy devised a way to account for the observed motion of the
planets.

2. Copernicus reverse engineered it by merely moving the origin of
coordinates. Copernicus was a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar.

This is Koobee's "approach" to physics.
