Will You Read My Theory?
Nov. 30th, 2021 04:40 amYES! Of course I will!
Obviously special relativity is wrong, and everyone has failed to notice why!
How can elementary particles not be beads sliding along tinker toys faster than the speed of light?
Send it to me, ASAP!

I was listening Michael Shermer interviewing Steven Koonin on Sunday, and they started commiserating about getting e-mails from people who had a brand new theory of physics. I remember my professors at Metro State complaining about them. And I couldn't remember the last time one came to me.*
I felt left out.
I felt so sad.
I felt so alone.
Not even the lunatics thought I was good enough to play with them.
Then yesterday morning when I got into work, what was waiting for me? Someone who wanted me to read his self-published article and comment on it on my podcast! I wouldn't call it a hum, nor a dinger, but it was a theory of the universe from top to bottom that absolutely wound't work! Unfortunately, we do have some standards (to keep ourselves in check) which basically say that we only discuss published articles, so I can't indulge him.** I think I'll suggest that he submit it to Nature or Science.
But finally, the lunatics want me!
They want me!
ME!

* Although someone sent me a very strange book/box combination with odd toys that were supposed to prove something or other about the universe a few years ago -- very kind.
** Should I do an interview show called "Your Crazy Ideas" "The Crankfiles?" Whenever I get one of these, I can read the paper(*3) and burn the author for an hour.
(*3) These essays do tend to be long and convoluted (keep your LSD-informed depiction of the machinery that drives the universe under five pages, please), so maybe not.
