I’m sure he was a great guy and I sympathise with those who mourn his passing, but he was absolutely not, in any sense, a physicist or cosmologist, or a scientist of any kind.
Thornhill wasn't a physicist or scientist, but I'd say he was a cosmologist in the mold of Immanuel Velikovsky (who wrote and published Cosmos Without Gravitation before writing Worlds in Collision). Like Velikovsky, Thornhill was neither a modern nor a scientific cosmologist.
