Ok. From The General Science Journal's website:
The purpose of this segment is to provide a resource for the informal display of papers without the restrictions (formatting, abstracts, references,) normally applied to a full research paper. This allows free expression of ideas without formal proofs, etc
Submisssions on a variety of scientific subjects and in many languages identifies the major purpose of the site; an opportunity for public presentation of theories, etc. without prior and arbitrary assessment, criticism or rejection by the recipient. Judgement by the few runs counter to the spirit of scientific exploration. The internet provides a potential world of criticism and support. Authors who make their theories known in this manner will probably find both.
So it's a non-peer reviewed journal that does not require the author to back up their assertions with valid citations or even a formal proof. Bunkum.edit on 4-11-2010 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)

My point? Stop posting up bunkum from "journal publications" as some form of validation when the journals in general ARE OF ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITYedit on 4-11-2010 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)

Stick to romance novels. Or better yet... Popular Mechanics. Black holes began as theory. Where was the validation then? A perfect example. Hate to say it, but you're lacking quite a bit of "cred" by your responses.

What the hell has that got to do with anything? We're talking about "votex math" and that other piece of bunkum you posted. I don't know about black holes (and I'm willing to bet you don't either given your scientific illiteracy) and nor do I care about them. They have nothing to do with this thread or the "paper" you posted.
Back on topic: now, why has the guy a) faked his endorsements and b) faked his "publications"? Why is that, do you reckon? If he's a "mathematician", why hasn't he submitted his work to credible journals and had his work assessed by experts in his field? After all, maths isn't subjective. Could it be because... oh I don't know, he's a crank??
Stop ducking and answer these questions. Likewise, that "paper" you posted was in a "journal" that a) did not go through any sort of review process, b) did not need anything in the way citations and c) did not require the author to back up their claims. In short, anyone can submit anything to these "journals" and they'll get "printed". It's about as credible as an unsourced website.
This is a SCIENCE forum. Thus, the topics must be concerned with SCIENCE. It's not called the "Conjecture and Fantasy" forum it's called the "Science and Technology" forum. Leave this garbage out of it!
It amazes me how people are so quick to dismiss the status quo yet pick up and run with any old rubbish that has absolutely zero credibility. You think it scientific to provide fake endorsements and credentials? You think it's scientific to tout work published in "journals" that absolutely zero assessment of the work published? Why isn't he being assessed by his peers? Oh that's right, because he's full of it But of course, it's much easier to dismiss mainstream thinking as some sort of conspiracy and then go on to fake your credentials The irony is people like you think you're open-minded, but you're not. You're polarity responders. Dismiss mainstream thinking and wolf down any old rubbish without even a cursory check to see if the source is credible. But hey, it's "anti-establishment" so it must be true!

Answer my previous questions, please. If you wish to defend a fraud and then tout a "paper" in some mickey mouse journal then at least defend your position, not doge the questions.

Ask anybody who's ever met him personally.

So faking credentials and publications doesn't set off any alarm bells? And what does this "Tesla conference" have to do with any of this? Does that somehow negate his previous fraud? In other circles he would be referred to as a "con artist". On here he gets hailed as a "genius".edit on 5-11-2010 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)
It is quite possibly the most laughable "paper" I have ever read. Any paper that opens with "God is always at the centre of everything" raises alarm bells Anyway, it's a hodge podge of random graphics and just outright nonsense.

So far you've attempted to downplayed two conferences as pseudo-science (including Tesla now?), and took a crack at God. Looks as though you've conned yourself quite a bit.
When you bring something to the table as significant as A/C, utilizing radio frequency, or turning metal sheets into straight diaphragms, I'll start paying attention to your critiques (aka bitching). At least you're not illiterate. Kudos.

Way to completely side-step the issue So you're saying that his endorsements and publications aren't fake? And on what grounds are you basing this? Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la!" doesn't count.

FYI I'm a published academic, I've been through the peer review process. I've had work accepted. I've had work rejected. I am intimately aware of the back-breaking work that goes into a well-researched paper and what is expected of authors in terms of backing up every assertion with hard facts and credible sources. The peer review process isn't perfect because after all, human beings aren't perfect, but it's a damn sight better than removing the mechanisms put in place to weed out such nonsense!
