Subject: Re: As this is the Atheist forum...
Actually, there are several institutes within the Max Planck Institute. [googling] Over 80. And not all of them are related to physics.

So, yes...it is possible for non-physicists. Even if he wasn't a janitor (I assumed he wasn't).

Whether this is the right forum for you is up to you. However, for a bit of context, whenever an atheist pokes his head out of the ground, invariably someone tries to convert him/her, or claim that whatever woo they believe is "scientific". Perhaps less so in Germany, but in the USA it's inevitable. So if it sounds like woo, we roll our eyes and mutter "not again".
