 Well, that's what you think.
 For me it seems, that Heaviside and Gibbs were 'con-artists' and wanted to divert physics from true science.
...

 I don't know enough about Heaviside to comment on what you say about him (though my guess is that it's complete bollocks to rival the complete bollocks that you write on other subjects). For Gibbs, however, it's clear that you don't know the first thing about Gibbs's character. A good place to start would be the Wikiparticle on Gibbs, but there is plenty to be learned from other sources.
 

 My guess was, that Gibbs and Heaviside cooperated in the attempt to eliminate quaternions.

 Instead of guessing, why not try to find out?

 Conspiracies are necessarily a secret.
 So you cannot evaluate your guesses that easily.
 But in my case I was also hindered by 'late birth'.

My guess is that "Thomas Heger" is a made-up name for someone working for Vladimir Putin to gather information about people posting to this group. My evidence for this? None whatsoever, but what does that matter?
