Where do these people come from? I have an academic background in linguistics, which also attracts its fair amount of cranks,
but that's at least understandable because of how important language is for identity, nationalism, etc.
Why does astronomy and astrophysics attract them? What are they getting out of this?

Calling him a crank is pretty aggressive. He's working on his model, he's working on getting it reviewed.
If you or any of the other abusive assholes in this sub would refrain from denigrating /u/trillion5
you might have the mental headspace to actually listen to what he's saying. Then again mental headspace isn't something in strong supply
among dumb kids who jump at any chance to scorn a massive intellectual effort simply because they do not wish to understand it.

Sorry, but I've been on the internet for 25+ years and I know crank-ery when I see it. There's no other word for it. The all-caps title,
random bold text, self-invented terminology, flaunting qualifications in an irrelevant field (although surprisingly it's philosophy this time,
not an engineering degree).
He even has a self-published book. All the classic symptoms. Humoring these people won't get you any closer to figuring out what on earth they're trying to say.
But yeah, maybe this dude is right about the alien mining machines or whatever. And maybe we all live on a four dimensional time cube earth.
Who knows.

See this shit is slander. That's not even a remotely fair comparison and all you're doing is shit-coating. Why bother engaging with him at all if this is crankery?
Why don't you just shut the fuck up instead of going way the fuck out of your way to talk shit about the migrator model?
Like either engage in good faith or fuck off. Even if he was a crank all you're doing is denigrating him and making him feel like shit. Like what the fuck ?

I didn't engage with him. My initial post was clearly addressed to the other people in this thread/subreddit. I intentionally have not addressed him nor his "theory"
directly nor will I.
There's obviously no point in doing so, it's not like I can convince him he's wrong. I do however think that people like this are interesting and
I wondered if people with a background in astronomy have any insight as to what attracts crankery to their field.
I will admit that comparing him to time cube was denigrating, but if anything it was directed at you for suggesting his ideas could be correct. I'm sorry for that,
but I do find it funny that someone might take him seriously.

Now you're just being a fucking asshole

You've called me aggressive, abusive, accused me of slander and "shit-coating", told me to fuck off and to shut the fuck up. If anything I've been remarkably civil.
Pringlecks
Yes you were remarkably civil while you abused /u/trillion5 by aggressively slandering and shit coating his work. You personally attacked him.
Because you did that you should shut the fuck up and fuck off.
Calm_Arm
I have not, and will not, engage with the OP or his "work" as I have already made clear.
I have long had a personal policy of never directly engaging with cranks on the internet as it's unproductive and only encourages them.
Unfortunately I've clearly inadvertently broken this rule by engaging with you.
