I am sure it would be possible to find real physicists who would support Wolynski's theory. They might sound something like this:
Manuscript fragment said:Forsooth, the Hypothesis, advanced by Wolynski of Florida, mayhaps hath some merit. It seems to conform well to Ptolemy's Principles of Argumentation and Doctor Rheticus here finds in it agreement with the Humours. It appears that further Understanding might be obtained by the new Mathematikal Principles rumored developed in Cambridge. Alas no Manuscript of these principles have reached us.
However, here in Wittenburg we no longer have any skilful Calculators, since Doctor Otho was taken suddenly by Typhus this midwinter. Therefore, we would be unable to apply the newest physicomathematical Principles to "stellar metamorphosis" even if Doctor Newton's book were obtained promptly. It is regretted that Wolynsky's Hypothesis must remain in its primitive state. Perhaps in a few years its Author might himself obtain some divers Manuscripts and catch up with the new scientifick Arts. Or perhaps new Physical Laws or Calculators might be invented in the near Future, and we might find divers and sundry Methods for testing hypotheses such as this. Time will tell."
