James Carter is best known for his fringe theory of "circlons", the idea that everything is made up of circular objects that interact mechanically, which attempts to replace scientific theories of relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang theory. His ideas are not the subject of serious scientific attention, although he has been used as a case study by writers on fringe science and has been the subject of exhibitions in Santa Monica, California and Los Angeles.
