He belongs more in the nineteenth than the twenty first century.
He still wears a Monocle after all, and he has a Chain Pocketwatch.
Dont confuse this with all his good work for Astronomy.
Its a free country and he is entitled to his views.

You have to admit though, it would make an interesting show........
