I'm not sure that he's a quack so much as a poor scientific communicator.

He seems to only want to talk about his theories with people who are equally as smart as he is, and perhaps feels that trying to explain it to anyone else is a waste of time.

If he is so smart he should be able to break ideas down to something people can comprehend without specialized knowledge.

Even the most mathematically complex physics can be summarized for layman and explained visually more or less.

I agree, and I think that inability to explain things is his greatest weakness.

At this point I'm not convinced he's a quack, because there could be other reasons he can't explain his theories:

1. He's not as good a communicator as he thinks he is.

2. The theory isn't fully enough worked out to be distilled down for laypeople.

3. The mathematical tools of the theory are so obscure that most people have no intuitive way of relating to them.

If it's any of those three, those are challenges than can and should be overcome.
