Dr. Robitaille

"...Pierre-Marie Luc Robitaille a.k.a. Sky Scholar (born 1961) is an accomplished radiologist and a Nobel disease-type crank..."

And here, a less vociferous overview:
"...Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille joined The Ohio State University in 1989. From 1989-2000 he served as Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research..."

Black Hole or Plasmoid? Thornhill
https://youtu.be/J4NffTr_GMk?t=34
So who is Wally Thornhill?
I did a search on Wikipedia. Nothing there.
Then I searched his name on the Web; 25,400 results, leading to articles, references and videos.
Black Holes, Plasma and Peer Review
Here is a study on Black Hole published journal papers that DO and DO NOT mention “Plasma”.
Writing a paper about Black Holes without mentioning Plasma is like writing a paper about 'Water Management' without mentioning 'Water'.
Graph shows papers from 1960 to 2018. Shocking!

...Because the acquisition of clean water in our town is not only a science, but a necessity, especially in the San Miguel de Allende area:
SMA Rotary Club rests upon a foundation of compassion and science, so it too gets a heads up from SciTechNature.
