according to the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer?
First of all, you shall find his Eristic Dialectics:

then you shall read Stratagem XXX:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
But you do not find Schopenhauer's definition of "general opinion" with Google and Wikipedia:
you need to look for a paper book!!!
You shall find that a "general opinion" is initially the opinion of two or three...Sergey Brin and Larry Page, for istance!
Let us go back to today's physics:
Don't you hear and fear the rising, persistent, general laughter? I know that
you are smart enough to remember that history, in Schrödinger's words, is the
most important of sciences.
One should not forget that excerpt from the book
"Greek Science" by Benjamin Farrington (Pelikan Books, London, 1949),
that looked so admirable to Erwin Schrödinger. He quoted
it in his article Are there Quantum Jumps? (The British
Journal for the Philosophy of Science 3, 109-123, 233-242 (1952)).
The excerpt says:
"Perhaps the most decisive defeat of the scientific spirit in antiquity
had been the loss of the sense of history. History is the most funda-
mental science, for there is no human knowledge which cannot lose
its scientific character when men forget the conditions under which it
originated, the questions which it answered, and the functions it was
created to serve. A great part of the mysticism and superstition of
educated men consists of knowledge which has been broken loose from its
historical moorings."
"Black hole physics" originated sixty years ago from
the American idiocy of John Wheeler,
who in Princeton decided that Albert Einstein (!) was an "Alt Trottel", an old imbecile.

Your paper shows that you urgently need to read two papers by Professor Liebscher
and me. One was published in 2001 in Astronomische Nachrichten
and can be found at http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/
deals with Kretschmann's interpretation of "general relativity"
and can be found at http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.2073
Have a careful reading.

P.s.: there is more for you: it is quite possible that all the present troubles with cosmology,
astrophysics, general relativity of 1915 and quantum physics are occurring because the later
work of both Einstein and Schrödinger, summarized e.g. in the last chapters of
Schrödinger's "Space-Time Structure",
http://strangebeautiful.com/
has been completely forgotten. It is a pity, because
starting from the year 1982, I found and published exact solutions of
Einstein's unified field theory that depend on three coordinates, and particular solutions happened to
assume a promising physical meaning. The class of solutions is at http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/
Electrostatics is here: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/
confinement in hadrons here: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/
The choice of the metric was a stumbling block since many years. Now I
know that the correct metric is Hély's metric. Lichnerowicz was right. Look at the Bianchi identities.
The origin for the astonishing efficiency of the method lies in
Schrödinger's Lagrangian: it is the square root of the determinant of the Ricci tensor, and it
does not change under linear combinations of rows and columns. If it is a new, Hermitian
Ricci tensor, it is a solution. In the class of solutions mentioned above this occurs due to
the fulfillment of the very simple Eq. (8) of //arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/
Einstein's theory is a limit case of vanishing cosmological constant.
Schrödinger's purely affine version of that theory too should be studied anew by
mathematicians and physicists with the utmost attention.

P.s.: in 1982, when internet did not exist, the mathematician and
historian of exact sciences Clifford Truesdell wrote the text of a prophetic conference,
entitled: "The computer, ruin of science and threat to mankind". You may find it here:
