Hi all, I haven't visited sci.physics for some 20 years.
Remembering sharp insults by Uncle Al who always had answers
on his fingertips?
Was beautifully insulted myself by Uncle Al which I never forget and it straightened up my thoughts :-)

He had a website, and there were some sighting of him on the intenet, people would drop in here.

Very intelligent guy

Uncle Al abandoned sci.physics about 20 years ago as it had become "a
steaming river of shit" inundated by lunatics and crackpots.

It has gone downhill since then with few sane people remaining mostly
for the humor that the lunatics and crackpots produce.

His web pages at mazepath.com appear to be gone and the last reference
by him I can find is circa 2018.

I would guess that by now he is retired and/or deceased.

Archie Plutonium still posts and has become even more stupid.

Note that his last post was in 2018 and his listed web pages no longer
exist.

He posted on Stackexchange until 2014 it seems

I f I remember correctly he got his Ph.D. thesis rejected.
His webpage is not on Wayback machine.

He posted there, and other moderated places which reject lunatics, as
late as 2018, then goes silent.

He was a worthless and disastrous pseudoscientist, and as something articulate with half-intelligence, of the very worst misleading type that must go extinct for science to recover from its present Einsteinian hocus-pocus and corruption.

Mercifully he is no more, but he does have many admirers, all bad lots, of course. They do not have the wits to be as insulting.

He very stupidly opposed my invention, the Hydrogen Transmission Network, on the grounds that it could not work as it would violate the law of conservation of energy!
How ridiculous, but this is the typical attitude of the dull establishment.

UA has a classic rant, about stupid,


"I cannot believe how incredibly stupid Archie-Poo is. I mean rock-hard
stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. Surface of Venus
under 80 atmospheres of red hot carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid vapor
dehydrated for 300 million years rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that
it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different sensorium of
stupid. Archie-Poo is trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid so
collapsed upon itself that it is within its own Schwarzschild radius.
Black hole stupid. Stupid gotten so dense and massive that no intellect
can escape. Singularity stupid. Archie-Poo emits more stupid/second than
our entire galaxy otherwise emits stupid/year. Quasar stupid. Nothing
else in the universe can be this stupid. Archie-Poo is an oozingly
putrescent primordial fragment from the original Big Bang of Stupid, a
pure essence of stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond
the laws of physics that define maximally extrapolated hypergeometric
n-dimensional backgroundless stupid as we can imagine it. Archie-Poo is
Planck stupid, a quantum foam of stupid, a vacuum decay of stupid, a grand
unified theory of stupid.

Archie-Poo is the epitome of stupidity, the epiphany of stupid, the
apotheosis of stupidity. Archie-poo is stooopid."

That has always been my favorite Uncle Al post.

And Archie-Poo is, somehow, now even more stupid.

yes, I have that saved, and unload that on Plutonium when he's being
even more stupid than is usual for him. UA had many gems like that.

@banerjee It was/is certainly the case of having mental issues which also happens to be drastically more common among Askhenazi Jewish people.
He was/is a bright scientist but remembering reading up on his complaints on his site regarding why his Ph.D. thesis was rejected, it didn't look quite right, at least not looking into it superficially.
He was, if I remember correctly, blaming the accuracy of the C++ complier. Does anybody remember?
It seems like he took a too large of a bite that he really couldn't swallow, at least not without guidance.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was the case that he never bothered to bring his post doc supervisor into the loop and therfore lost necessary scientific feedback.
Some people are their own worst enemies.

Drat, he was a Jew, what a surprise! :-)

> He was/is a bright scientist but remembering reading up on his complaints on his site regarding why his Ph.D. thesis was rejected, it didn't look quite right, at least not looking into it superficially.

My PhD thesis was rejected as well. The committee said that as I had not invented a new rail gun, my thesis about it not having reaction was not supported, so I could settle for a MTech. My supervisor told me that, after his having seen the results of the new design rail gun for months. So I never again went back to that place, and never will.

Still, I am glad I did go through all that effort. Had I not done so, I could not have done what I have recently presented to the world - a far more powerful version of the earlier rail gun which very evidently does work. One has to be as blind as Alsing to deny that, or rabidly bigoted.

Of course, I deserve far more than a PhD for this my work, which as important as the discovery of fire and the wheel. This thought warms me. I am satisfied. Better than getting the Nobel Prize is to create momentum from internal force and thus make the mucho celebrated Nobel winners look foolish. Now, all I want is to sell my apparatus and lectures for a fat price.

As a Jew, born to make money, he should have known the worth of the new discoveries and inventions, that I presented. He was stupider than poor Archie, being obscenely pig-headed. His lazy disgraceful unscientific sorts remain here, and everywhere really, in our corrupt times. Had Al got a PhD he might have been suave and slimy, and so, avoided usenet. As my supervisor said, getting a PhD is a political matter. Now, that is one true thing he said.

Biden, if Ukraine is invaded, impose the same sanctions on China for this is a Russia+China invasion of Ukraine, much like a bank robbery where all participants are punished, not just the ones that do the robbery inside the bank, but the ones that are harboring (China) the robbers outside the bank.

Use your executive power to bring home all manufacturing now located in China.

Kibo says give Ukraine Tomahawk cruise missiles which sound like a "barking fuckdog" when whizzing through the air towards Moscow and Stalingrad.

It has always been clear to me that UA was one of those with a great
memory who "knew much physics" without really understanding it. Even
contemplating the possibility that chirality could break Einstein's
relativity was a clear indication of his discontinuities. He was
probably the prime example why "partial credit" for getting some
things right is not a good idea.

Of course the fact physics itself contains discontinuities does not
excuse UA's treatment of his fellow humans. There were a goodly number
who held that UA was "entertaining" as an excuse to support him. All
that tells us is how screwed up society was at that time, and doubtless
continues in that mode unabated.

I never considered train wrecks to be entertainment and UA was clearly
a one man train wreck. Your mileage may vary. I'll not continue with
this topic but have at it as you must and will.
