Because he did not disprove or prove anything.
Mark McCutcheon wrote The Final Theory as an introduction of his Grand Unified Physics theory, commonly called the Expansion Theory. He gives multiple examples of how this could explain some current physical phenomenon but does not back up his theory with any hard observable facts or mathematical descriptions.
While both Newton and Einstein developed theories back by mathematics and predictions of events, McCutcheon does not.
Mark McCutcheon may have been an excellent electrical engineer, but the deeper one looks into his theory, the worse it becomes. The more one knows about the physical universe, the less consistent his solution looks.

New theories are "proved" and old theories are "disproved" only after an author publishes a very clear expose of his (her) theory that is then subjected to extensive peer review. Acceptance of the new theory by the local cab driver (people?) matters very little. Although scientists may be reluctant to throw out the old for the new, cogent (provable?) arguments will receive their day in court. Einstein's theories were not universally embraced at first blush and he had problems with quantum mechanics. There are no free rides in science (except under a dictatorship?).

When a nut claims to have "disproven" two of the world's leading scientists, it's a pretty good bet that the nut is wrong. By the way, you spelt Einstein wrong. Looks like you're out of the running for the Nobel Prize.

i have no clue who that guy is or what he disproved but if he did disprove it the he would have to have evidence he disproved it! and if he had proof why wouldn't he be believed? there for he must not have disproved anything he is just trying to get his name out there in the papers and what not. he is a crack pot that just wants attention.

add some details of McCutcheon's theory.

He *claims* to have disproved them, but many (and I do mean MANY) top notch scientists think he is just a crackpot.
