Laviolette is a "soft" crackpot it has published in peer review journal but he
support the theory of a static universe with a continuous mater formation.
No exactly a main stream scientist. His expertise is mostly on the effect of
supernova of the terrestrial environnement.

Most of its citation are about how wrong his is in his assumptions. He has
a Ph.D. but it is not the prototype of a world class scientist.
