Lucretius, you do not understand that there are a lot of super-duper physicists, some Nobel winners, that have also overreached and put forth crackpot ideas.  William Shockley is one example.  This 1931 contribution from Eddington is documented and it is speculated by many that he was publishing a spoof or hoax in the similar sense of the Sokal Affair.  Perhaps he was serious as in the Bogdanov Affair, but whether or not it is a spoof, the content of that publication is at best numerology.  i'll let this sit for a couple days to see what other input there is, but the fact that Eddington said this stuff is, in fact, numerology (whether he was serious or not) and the article needs to say it.
