Alpha-Negatrons!
« on: March 10, 2014, 03:10:51 am »
Crackpot physics: because understanding things before talking about them is just The Man's way of controlling your thoughts.

So there's this guy named Pal Sahota, who apparently once made some software for pharmacies or something, and based on those qualifications he has created a unified theory of physics!

He doesn't seem to know much about, um, anything that happened in physics since the 19th century, and his understanding of even the Newtonian stuff is shaky, but he certainly didn't let that stop him. And so he came up with alpha-negatrons, the fascinating particle that is everywhere, does everything, and leaves nothing unexplained. Anything in the world is just waves and whirlpools of alpha negatrons, it all works out perfectly, just don't ask to see any math for it, or for that matter any argument for why things work out the way they do. When in doubt, throw more alpha-negatrons at it.


If you ever wanted an example of "A theory that explains everything, explains nothing"...

I wrote a longer thing on the subject detailing just a bit of the physics he gets horrendously wrong, because apparently I have nothing better to do and sleep is for the weak anyway. Unless you have an unhealthy fascination with bad physics, it's probably going to bore you to death

I'm all for legalizing pot, but I don't think hitting the bong is a reliable method of understanding physics and the world.

Okay, so what I'm getting from that is if I align myself north/south lying on the ground and then stick one thumb up my ass and the other thumb in my mouth, I'll generate an electromagnetic charge and levitate off the ground. To burrow under the ground, I need only reverse polarity by switching thumbs....

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Give it a try and post the results.

Business is already on this.  I saw alpha-negatron soup in the supermarket last week.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Oh good, I wasn't the only one to think that!

Apparently he found my blog:

Quote from: Twitter
Crackpot physics expert @Sigmaleph explains http://bit.ly/1o5KT3e  Further proof @searchasyoutype is a crackpot? http://bit.ly/fhVt8E

Note that @searchasyoutype is his twitter name, because he claims he invented seach-as-you-type and Google stole it from him.

And I'm not sure if he's being sarcastic or he thinks "crackpot" is a compliment.

Perhaps you're an expert on crackpot physics?  I dunno, I got nothin, man.

It gets better. Now he's accusing me of being paid by Google, presumably to discredit him. The "crackpot physics expert" thing is his way of implying I'm not qualified to call his theory crackpot (because apparently I need a PhD to notice he constantly gets basic physics wrong).

... I could kick this guy's ass in physics when I was in 6th grade.  The last thing anybody needs is a PhD to pwn this moron.
