Perhaps there are a lot of scientists thinking as you suggest but it still doesn't make 'em right. It also doesn't prevent 'em being inspired from afar.... Perhaps they'd hate to know the ideas they thought were original, their own, had been impressed on them by etheric scientists?

Einstein, as I said earlier, likely had no idea that his ideas were inspired (if they were) by counterpart scientists. But some may feel their ideas were not of their own - who's to know unless they were to declare it?
