Yeah, the second one is the same as the first and third, just without Andy's byline. Big whoop. Nobody is "getting on board" other than to hand over web space to Andy's mistaken dreaming.

He can't even be bothered to correct the obvious errors that are pointed out here, he just keeps on going as if nothing were wrong. He writes his posts here as questions to make it appear that he's interested in what others might have to say, when he really isn't. He's another self-proclaimed genius who's got nothing new to say and no new way to say it, so he says it over and over again more and more loudly hoping that someone will mistake repetition and volume for truth, and when he lands a sucker, he gets even more loud and repetitious in glorious celebration of his utter mediocrity.

So, no longer.

Andy, this is a discussion forum. If you continue to fail to discuss these ideas of yours, you'll be given warnings. If you ever post more links to that same article of yours, I will consider you a spammer and cancel your membership here without warning, just like other spammers.

I just want to say that this post finally made me realize that I have been playing Bioshock too much, because for some reason when I read that Moderation Notice, I had that game's security system alarm blaring in my head.

Hopefully you have the Invisible tonic, so just stand still and the security bots won't find you.

Among such articles as:

J. J. Smulsky, Manifesto: Return to Reality: A Critique of 20th Century Physics
Collected Works of Todd Matthews Kelso: Pythagorean Physics
Israel Sadovnik: Religion and Physics ~ XXI Century
Ardeshir Mehta: Papers on Physics, Philosophy, Engineering
Daryl Waite: A Unified Field Theory "Volume of Time -Dimensional Analysis"
Avadhuta: The Hare Krishna Views On Science
R. Kress: Science and Religion
Process Physics: A return to naturalistic science - List of Papers
Sepp Hasslberger: Physics, Economy, New Energy
Nicos Alexandris: Philosophy, Physics
Hypergeometrical Universe: The Theory of Everything
Frank Morgan: Unified Force Theory

The GSJ is not a peer reviewed paper.

I'm less then impressed.

How much did it cost?

No kidding! According to the site, getting "published" doesn't seem that hard:
A Few Rules

a. Papers must be submitted by the author or legal representative.

b. Papers remain the property of the author.

c. Although original emails containing the author's papers are usually archived, it is strongly recommended that authors copyright their papers.

d. Papers may be updated or removed by the author at any time.

e. Correspondence between the author and others may be submitted for posting.

f. Common courtesy in all correspondence applies.

And they didn't even do that, they just posted a link to it under the "Miscellaneous Subjects" sub-category of "Philosophy/Metaphysics" on their "Science Links" page (which is obviously mis-named).

The Wikipedia article about GSJ says that misspellings and grammar mistakes appear regularly in their published articles, due to their stance against editorial... anything. So it's no wonder your piece, with its numerous factual errors, seems to fit right in.

Another clue:
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer
The people who quote this tend to think it is predictive - that if something is ridiculed, it's the truth (just at the first stage). But as Sagan and others have noted, they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. (Besides, it seems that nobody can figure out just where Schopenhauer allegedly said those lines, so on GSJ's home page we have an excellent example of their commitment to truth.)

And forcryingoutloud, they quote Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective. Conan Doyle believed that fairies were real. Using famous-but-untrue quotes from his fiction in one's "science quotes" marquee is mind-numbingly stupid.

I just want to say that I find it absolutely hilarious that they have to have a "rule" that stresses common courtesy in all correspondences. I guess publishing papers submitted by the certifiably insane sometimes leads to some pretty heated email exchanges. "We're rejecting your paper for publication on the grounds that you reported us to the FBI for being space aliens. Please do not write us again."

I showed my father this image today. When he saw it,he nearly fell off his chair. He told me that the pattern in the centre circle is found in the middle of all masonic temple ceilings(Well.......all the masonic temples he has visited in his 40 years as a freemason). Maybe we`re being told something. Does anybody have an opinion on crop circles? http://www.soulsofdistortion.nl/images/Flower%20of%20lifce%20crop%20circle.jpg

I found this site that made the hair on my neck tingle. It is a site that allows you to make the COMPLETE flower of life. It is located here. I made the COMPLETE flower of life and all the forgotten knowledge of man flooded my mind. Unfortuantely, when I left the site I lost all of the knowledge.


If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.
