I’m now very pleased my people have managed to produce a very entertaining physics drama 😎
Is there a physics drama Oscar?
Wiles Licher is an unusual enough name I’m inclined to suspect an anagram.

I tried to find one, actually! Nothing seemed promising in English.
I was thinking maybe "wiles" like cunning/deceit, and "Licher" to sound like "leaker".

Okay this is officially ridiculous. On the positive side social media makes this stuff way more entertaining than pre-Internet controversies. The cold fusion guys had a fairly tame endgame retiring in France after burning through a bunch of Toyota money.

I actually wish this were happening more slowly. The fast pace of it all is stressing me out!

Maybe this is the beginning of a famous career for you debunking dubious data. Like those guys in social psych.

I suppose there really isn’t that much fodder to keep a physics Sherlock busy
