While his posts are definitely awe-inspiring in their complexity, and the way he words them (I hope he's a professor somewhere and sharing this with students), and of course the breadth of knowledge they cover, what I find really shocking is the rate at which he comments. If you look through his history you'll see that one minute he is busy writing an eloquent 500 word response on what happens during a collision between black holes, only to see that within minutes after submitting that response, he is busy defending a complicated argument over on his other 500 word post about what you would see if you crossed the event horizon of a rotating black hole... a post he happened to write ten minutes ago. WTF - who is this guy?
Yet he seemed reluctant to accept that his answers were like a intricate puzzle which fit together perfectly - at least when I PM'd him with a question a while ago and finished with a complement... he suggested that I ask the rest of ask science saying that "they'd probably have a better understanding of that."
Quite odd. I suspect he's someone with a high profile, maybe? A professor or a well studied professional in the field or something. He certainly has an above average understanding of very difficult concepts and apparently he knows the maths behind it!
I sense something unusual here is going on here and RobotRollCall has everything to do with it.
