People who make me look good #2: Final Notice
Science, Viewpoint January 3rd, 2007
Sometimes you don’t have to have advanced degrees to spot things that are obviously wrong.
Sometimes all it takes is a minimum of reasoning and rationality. When you encounter something that clearly transgresses the line between reality and delusion then replying to them wouldn’t add to the sum of human knowledge and would be a waste of time (yours, not theirs because they have infinite time it appears).
So when a physicist friend sends me this then all I can do is hope I don’t have a mouthful of coffee when I open it and start reading. I’d recommend the same to you, dear reader, as I cannot be held liable for the consequences. Also stay away from sharp objects and try not to scare the housepets/children/passers by.
(333,333.333Â…)/(0.000Â…): (Existence)/(Nonexistence) paradox delineated using the (First Space)/(Null Space) template. First Space is a polarized, infinite sequence that reuses Mass in the following form: (+/-)* > (+/-)/(-/+); (+/-) > (+)/(-). Null Space is not polarized.
FINAL NOTICE: the Earth will fall into Null Space.

I guess that part of the job of being a physicist is receiving great messages like that. My friend remarked that that no date was actually specified, which comes as something of a relief.
Incidentally, there is an entire website/search engine called crank.net which surveys lunacy in all of its many flavours from fringe to illucid. The entire “paper” is definitely in the latter category.

Glad I’m not the only one that sees the funny side of these emails

i’m a philosopher and i got it too. i think he’s just scouring academic web sites in general.
gerry sussman at mit had a brilliant way of dealing with “nut mail”. he keeps a file of it, organized by subject. then when he gets a letter, he finds a previous bit of nutmail on a similar topic, and sends a reply like this:
“I am sorry that I do not have the expertise to properly address your thoughtful letter. I do believe that the following individual has interests similar to yours and you may enjoy corresponding with him.”
and then he adds the address of the other nut.
i think he has a good point: the people who work on this stuff are clearly extremely passionate (if misguided) and replying like this is perhaps a very compassionate way of doing the best you can for such a person.

I remember encountering the Internet for the first time (an “internet virgin”) in about 1993, and finding to my shock that the Internet was not filled with fine thinking well-adjusted people – but rather there appeared to be an awful lot of people with full blown schizophrenia online.
Now this stuff doesn’t particularly surprise me. I’ve become hardened and cynical. The Internet does that to you.

The Pluto/Neptune anomaly of the Titius-Bode progression is predicted in the Initial Mass Displacements.
Although the total Ceres mass includes an asteroid belt (2.8 AU), the total Pluto mass is unique.
Excluding Neptune, a variety of objects between 48.8 AU and 28.8 AU had a total mass of 10 Earth Masses (i.e., PLUTO INITIAL MASS).

Although there are a variety of star masses, the 1st solar system displacement of a Jupiter-like mass is common. In some cases, the Jupiter-like mass is large enough to form a minor star. In other cases, the star itself will separate into two or more stars before its 1st solar system displacement.
The basic template[i.e.,(+/-)*] of polarized First Space is used in all cases of initial mass displacement. However, the unit value of each star system is a variable – i.e., the Earth is not the unit value of every star system.

Ok that’s enough.
Frank – you’re a deeply delusional person that any sane person would keep well away from.
