Can we have a complete list of cranks here.

1. Fusioneer
2. Greysky
3. newedena
4. Y.Porat
5. Thomson
6. Ken Seto
7. TomGee
8. Smart Model
9. Retic
10. John Sefton
11. Freddifix (?)
12. (who else)


Ok. Cranks. How many of you have read this book
"Feynman Lectures on Physics 3 Vol set"??

You guys keep committing very basic mistakes that
Heymann kept on correcting. It's very frustrating.
How can you take apart the Standard Model if you
are not veteran in it?? We know the Standard Model
is not complete and something can turn it into a subset.
But to enhance it, we must be adept in the in and
out of Standard Model so as to be able to change
it successfully.

So, I recommened cranks to read up some basic textbooks
such as Feynman's and be familiar with all the concepts
before spewing horse manure as Heymann love to call it.
It's getting frustrating to waste time reading rubbish
every morning.

Crank Phoenix, you forgot yourself in your list like a foolish pig in
Aesop's fable.
Why don't you look at a mirror?
You should find a genuine and ugly crank idiot there.
Why did you omit such cranks as Franz Heymann, zetasum, Nick and Uncle
Al in your list.

Feynman made many mistakes. There're tones of flaws in Big Bang, SR,
GR, and QM. Where? Just look at the google groups. Why we stop pursuing
a genuine physics?

Hmmm... I wonder what the ? is for. Well, just in case you were
wondering, I accept the Standard Model, SR and GR. I just have some
slightly different interpretations of the "rules". A suggestion for you
is to learn enough physics so that you can understand Volovik's "The
Universe in a Helium Droplet". It will definitely cure your ignorance.
Mr. Heymann should read that book also. I think he would actually like
it.

As can be seen from the definition given at the URL:

"A crank (at least on the web and on USENET) is an individual
that makes claims, or holds views, that are contradicted by
the empirical data of observation and experiment."

As a long time reader of the newsgroups,
it seems to me that folks are listed on "crank lists" and such,
because they have bested someone in a dichotomy,
or because someone doesn't like their style, politics, religion,
or their attitude toward their favorite physicist or theory.

I suggest that it is incumbent upon the "attack pack" to
justify their assertion that these folks
"make claims, or hold views, that are contradicted by
the empirical data of observation and experiment.",

In other words,
I assert that the "attack pack" are immature
and driven by emotions and prejudices, rather than logic, and
"make claims, or hold views, that are contradicted by
the empirical data of observation."

It is interesting to observe that
the God and founder of the "attack pack" is John Baez,
and its' most impassioned missionaries are:
Uncle Al
Sam Wormley
and
Dirk Moortel.

Note that the URL listed above

There has NEVER been a prediction of QM, SR or GTR that was
contradicted by an observation. NEVER!

The Standard Model is by no means complete.. of course all know it.

Cranks are by nature creative but mostly are ignorant. They haven't
read enough textbooks, etc. Maybe don't have money.

Attack pack such Uncle Al and company are less creative and less
imaginative. They love to follow rules and can't see outside the box.

What is needed is balance.

I'm thinking whether to trust and support M-Theory for the TOE or
whether the foundations of physics themselves are flawed and
need to to reworked from the bottom. Most cranks support the
latter, that many concepts are flawed. But because they are not
as good as Uncle Al. They can't see where to really plug the new
principles. Uncle Al and company on the other hand trust Standard
Model so much that they may not see things from other point of view
and may not recognize it if there is something in nature that their
Standard Model can't explain.

This is my observation in this NG sci.physics.

Anyway. I really recommend all labeled cranks to read up
"Feynman Lectures of Physics" 3 Vols. It's being sold for
only $70 at amazon marketplace shipped new from NJ. That
way. You won't goof up on many simple things that would make
you really look bad.

M-Theory has never made a testable preciction and therefore, is
no better than philosophy.

Well...depends on your criteria for "top" or "best". I might
have at one time picked Spaceman because he was at least
amusing, but he's long since vanished from the 'Netscape.

Harris is apparently a holdover from sci.math and thinks he can
factor faster than anyone else in the world despite massive proof
to the contrary.

Jeff Relf can't code worth shit. He can't do Websites worth
shit either: http://www.Cotse.NET/users/jeffrelf/X.CPP
and http://www.Cotse.NET/users/jeffrelf , though one has
to admire them for their extreme simplicity (there's
nothing there but text and an occasional link). At least
http://www.timecube.com uses different colors and font styles.
(I have no idea whether the author of Timecube has ever
posted here. Would I even want to know?)

McElwaine is a crank from way back, but I for one don't
bother to read his posts in detail. I think his main
idea is that the Earth is hollow. I can't say whether
other things are.

Smart1234 seems to like to bounce around a bit; last time I
saw him was on sci.math arguing that .999... != 1.000... .
Turns out he's no more competent there than in arguing that
the oxygen atom looks like a doughnut. (The 'f' orbitals
do look a bit like doughnuts, though:

http://www.shef.ac.uk/chemistry/orbitron/index.html )

Donald Shead had some very strange notions about force,
mass, and inertia, and is also gone.

Guth is mildly interesting, as is Archimedes Plutonium.

Habshi wants to change the world -- well, Venus. Or the
Moon. Or maybe Mars. Practical considerations don't
seem to bother him too much.

Eleaticus apparently is about as well-versed as Androcles
or kenseto when it comes to coordinate transforms, although
Androcles is far more argumentative. Jim Greenfield and
H. Wilson also get lumped in here; none of them like
relativity, and none of them seem to be able to juggle
x' = g*(x-vt), t' = g*(t-vx/c^2) very well. (g = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).)
Between them, they've got quite a few fumbles:

http://users.pandora.be/vdmoortel/dirk/Physics/ImmortalFumbles.html

Sobie talks too much -- to himself. At this point I think
he's been put into a padded cell.

Ernest Wittke, aka reticher, is earnest, I'll grant him that,
but he can't seem to disprove Einstein's stuff either.

tj Frazir is merely incoherent -- pardon me, eccentric --
as is Kurt Stocklmeir. Of the two, tj Frazir is slightly
more coherent, but that's a bit like saying orange is slightly
more blue than red; Kurt might have slightly better spelling.

Jack Sarfatti's out there, though not quite as far as
John Winston, who is not on the list for some reason.
Then again, I've not seen John Winston lately. Maybe it's
just as well.

GRAVITYMECHANIC et al seems to like to reverse signs.
Not that that in itself is bad -- I've reversed my share.

I'm not sure Tom Potter likes anybody. (I'm not sure Uncle Al
does either :-), but at least Uncle Al's brain works in the
scentific realm; I can't say regarding political and/or
socioeconomic realms and I'm not all that qualified in those
areas myself anyway).

Dr. Jai Maharaj (Jay Stevens) and Uncle Al do not like each
other at all. Fortunately, I think the former has given up.

I wonder if Mathew Orman ever sold any of his FTL cables...

AllYou! just likes to argue.

Jahn/Sue just seems confused.

The rest? I can't say they've hit my radar, at least not lately.

For some reason there's no mention of ZZBunker or -- heaven forbid --
the dreaded Aussie nymshifting poisonous troll who likes
to nymshift. Perhaps it's just as well; this lot is bad enough. :-)

Yes. I recommend *everyone* get the Feynamn Lectures. The more you read, the
more there is to read. My only wish is that I was able to sit in on the
actual lectures themselves. As it is, I recommend paying the extra money for
the hardbound set, as it will not fall apart on you like the paper bound
editions can and frequently do. I also second MTW for some insightful views
on general relativity.

So then why did I make your list? Did you even bother reading my web site?
If so you will know I don't want to take apart the standard model. You do
know that don't you? In all the *many years* I have been calling for a
reintrepretation of QM, there has been not a single refutation of my basic
ideas. Not one. That should tell you something.

Do a Google search on Old man's crank (crackpot) list.
You will see how much time and effort it takes to construct such a list.
Check out Dirk VDM' site, and add everyone on his fumble list.

Add Hammond, Cesar Siervent, Peter M. Brown (May he be dead by now) and the
nut posting the Hilal crescent moon sighting data and you have a small

Once a loud mouth troll, always a loud mouth troll. He just couldn't
resist those troll urges any longer. As if we really need the signal to
noise ratio of the groups to get worse. We can see right away that he
will probably not post much to do with physics. I think we can count on

I jusr wonder
who is that phoenix and what are his motivations
in the urgent list that he did
may be something is frighthning him and whatever
anyway if Mr 'Phpenix' is by chance the
President of the New sociaety of the international pysics
say founded by the U.N or something alke
i feel offended that i am not at the top of tha t list!!
so i demand to corrct it!!

now there ar esoem names that are missing there badly
like for instance
Frantz Hymann or feuerbacher ot ,Al ,.Gisee etc
they shold be at the bottom!!
now Mr genious Phoenix
since Hymann (&co.) is one of your hero worships
he shold get not only a priority status of honour but
a mony prize:
because he invented the FERTZ idea!1
just to anyone who didnt got the news :
a FERTZ is an em wave that has (listen carefully)
one cycle * per year** agin PER YEAR.
of course that is not for common people to get it
you must first learn not only Maxwels equation
you have to study carefully the Feymans lessons
Feymann is probably a relative family member of Hymann
or else Hymann could not reach that genious status
to invent the FERTZ
now HYman if you dont beleive me supports *untill this
moment his FErtz invention because hYmann is a man of honour!!
as all the members of his gange

in the mafia- honour is a key word!
so just ask him and he will asure you that the Fertz invention
is a sound modern physics innovation or at least a humble contribution
of his ...(sorry i forgot feuerbacher)
and if you donr believe see the Maxwell eqoations!!!
now since i am an ignorant i am looking forwards to get some physics
lessons from HYmann
and if posible from the president of the new academy of physics-
MR Phoenix
btw old pisser what is your real name dont you think
a president should use his real name !!!
or may be your real name is Don Corleone ???

dont you dare talking against Phoenix!! (&co.)

he is the new President of the international physics society!!
(founded by him)
he learned the Fymann lessons therefore no one shold sparak aganst him
or else ..... he should be chaised out ot the international society of
physics
and will not get free lesons about the 'Theory of everything'
in that case you will not be entitled to get lessons from
Fertz Hymann about his Fertz (Feurbacher as assistnent
he will not get lessons from Feuerbacher about HUP in the bepmetric

you will not get lessons from Al about the W bosons found in experiment

I kinda figured, when I wrote that post,

As can be seen,
the "attack pack" reacts to an opportunity to draw blood
just as a pack of dogs

When I made that post,

I knew that he so closely identifies with the "attack pack",
that he couldn't resist the urge to join in the howling.

It has been my experience that the social misfits

have a common problem.

Why is it,
that when I kick someone's ass in physics or politics,

using all kinds of ridiculous statements???

As can be seen from my pictures on Yahoo,
and my posts to the newsgroups,
I like Blacks, Asians, rednecks, Muslims, Christians, Jews,
young people, old people, babies, women, etc.

I must admit that I don't like people
who lie, cheat, steal, bully, bushwhack,
try to ego trip on or insult folks,
and people who instigate conflcit and war.

Maybe "The Ghost In The Machine"
feels that he fits into one of those categories,
and that I don't like him.

Take a look at my Yahoo pictures Ghost,
and tell me what folks in the pictures
I seem to dislike.

That's no big trick. I predict that Tom Potter will respond to this post
even though he knows now that he'll be playing straight into my

I think the inclusion of Tom van Flandern is a good indication that
cranks on sci.physics are simply people outside the mainstream.

Of course, a good deal of the people on the list are just plain wrong
and in many cases chronically clueless, but before you judge the
perspectives of anyone, wether they are on the list or not, you should
give them the minimal courtesy of learning about their perspective. If
you can formulate relevant and direct objections, and they cannot
respond to the criticism with some intelligence, then they might be a
crank.

Anyone that disagrees that conclusions should not be drawn before a
point of view is reviewed, understood, and then demonstrated to be
critically flawed, is a hostile enemy of the open society.

And when the "chronically clueless" (your words) react by dismissing an
observation that contradicts their pet theory by insulting and claiming
the person citing empirical data is a religious drone--Greenfield and

It was rather interesting that Potter seems to unerringly jump into any post
that includes his name.
I wonder if would jump through the hoops with an anagram of his name.... or

A crackpot who continues to bat pretty good.
Since 1995 I've refuted Black Holes and
explained them as centers that recycle stars.
Recently material has been seen coming out of BHs.
Then more recently observations have been made that a nearby BH appears
to be ejecting a Quasar like a cannonball (a red-shifted one no less.)

More to follow.

How's your predictions?

Yup. One cycle per year. That is the frequency at which the earth
radiates EM waves because of the motion of its residual charge around
the sun.

Hey, Porat, I started learning English when I was 8. I spoke and
spelt it correctly when I was 10.
For how many yearshas your mastery of the English language gone
steadily backwards?
If you don't start learning some physics quite soon, you will not be
able to do so at all.

That was what Dark Matter was *invented*
to explain.
How handy to have something invisible to explain
away your little problem of the whole galaxy
turning as a single unit.
He says computers have modelled a good shape to
accomplish this; some sort of toroid surrounding each
galaxy?
Of course the point is moot since DM can't
be seen (by definition).

But DM is now also being used to explain
*all* the missing mass. Promotion! Good job,

If dark matter consists of "superpartners" to visible particles and
futher experimentation supports supersymmetry, then dark matter may be
more than an ad hoc hypothesis. Also if dark matter can can predict
other effects which ARE observed then it has more to do than merely to
save gravitational theory.

The correctness of the dark matter hypothesis is still an open question.
If some other means of explaining non-keplerian motion in galaxies can
be found, then dark matter may go the way of aether. It remains to be
sean whether dark matter is more than an ad hoc tire patch.

No one ever saw an atom, but the atomic hypothesis explains and predicts
just about everything we know about matter.

Most of the basic entities of physics are quite invisible and can only
be detected with instruments or inferred indirectly. Since these
entities lead to quantitative predictions which might be falsified
experimentally, they are kosher scientific constructs.

Kosher models are race and religion biased.

Models that map the past,
may not be viable, cost-effective,
and useful for present time use,
and may not predict the future well.

When people begin to think that a model
is capable of predicting the future,
the model becomes a dead end religion,
and locks up people's minds.

The best model to use for immediate situations,
is the most viable, cost-effective one,
that can be used for handling the situation at hand.

The best model for probing into the future,
is trail and error with an open mind.

Guys like Edison and Fadary were the masters at this,
as well as they guys who invented the transistor,
the MASER, and most other things.

For example,
General Relativity is a Tower of Babel,
and is not viable and cost-effective,
and can't be used to solve everyday problems
in communications, spring mass systems, electronics,
structures, chemistry, genetics, medicine, etc.

It wastes far too much time, money, and minds
on the pursuit of Black Holes, Warped Space, time travel, etc.

Note that billions of dollars are wasted every year,
not probing for useful things and techniques
like Edison and Farady probed for,
but for confirming Relativity as a religion.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

It is interesting to note that, despite his dislike of general relativity,
"Tom Potter" recognizes that he has no scientific argument against it.
And so he must shift the argument to cost-effective applications that are
beyond the recognized scope of general relativity. The theory is, indeed,
not a viable and cost-effective model to solve everyday problems in
communications, spring mass systems, electronics, [crystal?] structures,
chemistry, genetics, medicine, etc. One can only wonder why he thinks it
is necessary to mention that, since the theory has never been promoted for
those uses.

It can only be concluded that "Tom Potter" does not consider science
itself a worthy pursuit, unless it is in direct support of immediate
engineering needs.
