There is absolutely no proof of this whatsoever. I'd like somebody to explain how, in a constantly moving system, comet Elenin manages to keep aligning itself with the Earth and the Sun.

He is also listed, with a picture on his institute's site.

Haven't read any other replies but:
Pretty sure he exists, if anyone can prove he does or doesn't, that'd be cool.
