To HIM. 

It does make sense to physicists. It does make sense to me. You claim that
all those people must be lying. 

Maybe you’re saying that it doesn’t make sense to you, and since you are
smarter than everyone else, then it can’t make sense to anybody. Or maybe
you’re saying that you’re a “true scientist” and anyone who claims that it
makes sense cannot possibly be a “true scientist”. Go ahead. Say that.
