I think they do it because they really want to understand the universe and they have very noble albeit grandiose motivations trying to do what us regular physicists are also trying to do...

And most of us can't be Einstein." [url]https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/are_you_a_crackpot_take_the_test.html[url]
