Myron Evans discovers the Chronostalker
The great British Civil List Scientist, Myron W. Evans has discovered not only the Grand Unified Field Theory . He has disovered also this blog! So, let us examine his new discovery. According to my usually well informed friends MWE wrote:
“MWE: There is a garbage website by “chronostalker”, who deos not have the courage to debate with me directly or to reveal who he or she is, or even to inform me of the existence of his or her garbage website. ”
Well, what is considered to be garbage and what not is highly subjective. Some scientists think that MWE “papers” contain quite a bit of garbage. But MWE is not willing to admit his errors. Those who have “courage” to write to MWE directly are being threatened by him. They are being personally and professionally harassed.
“MWE: It is this kind of public trashing of an innocent person that needs to be punished heavily under the new
net laws. ”
So, here we have an example. If scientific criticism is not allowed, then it it is the end of science.
“MWE: This site continues the “Evans is an idiot” game and I have been aware of it for some time. ”
No one says “Evans is an idiot”. To decide whether someone is an idiot, and, if so, what kind of an idiot, a psychiatric expertise is needed. This blog offers only a scientific expertise. It is not about Evans, but about errors in his papers, and about Evans’ behavior that is not in accord with the scientific ethics.
“MWE: Lar Felker kindly came to my defence and was also also trashed personally by Bruhn for his honesty. For example it is claimed by the venerable stalker of time that r = x i + y j + z k is not a straight line because it is a vector, and in an immediately following note it is claimed that a unit vector makes no sense because it is a tautology.”
Certainly r = x i + y j + z k is not a straight line. A straight line has infinitely many points, while r = x i + y j + z k is just one point. While it is true that there is exactly one straight line through the origin in the direction of any given vector, in mathematics it is absolutely crucial to distinguish between a vector and line through the origin in the direction of this vector. Otherwise lot of confusion happens, and the more ambitious is a given theory, the more crucial is avoiding elementary mathematical errors.
“MWE: It is then concluded that Evans is an idiot who knows nothing about vectors at all. ”
While it is hard to say why MWE is making these elementary mistakes and is unwilling to have them pointed to him, so that he could fix them, the fact is that MWE does not understand a difference between a vector and straight line in the direction of this vector. Hopefully someone will be able to explain this to him. But it is really hard, when Evans only replies are by threatening his friends lawsuits. I say “friends”, because those who are pointing errors is someone’s papers should be considered as friends, not as enemies.
“MWE: Coming back to the real world we all know from school that a polar vector defined as above must be a straight line in 3-D Euclidean space”
And this is wrong. A vector is NOT a straight line. These two mathematical concepts have different definitions. This is explained already in elementary schools on the continent. I do not know how it is in USA or in GB.
“MWE: and we all know that i, j and k are unit vectors. ”
No, we do not know for sure. But we can guess that it is indeed the case. Nevertheless a vector is not the same as the straight line through the origin, and in the direction of this vector. Question is what are x,y,z that enter the formula r = x i + y j + z k. For instance, if we assume that x=0, y=0, z=t, t being a “variable” in the range -infinity, +infinity, then, indeed, we have a straight line. But if we assume t being a variable in the range 0,+infinity, then we have a half-line. Finally, if we assume that t is just a number, then we have a point. And if we assume that x,y,z run through the set of all integeres, then we have a cubic lattice!
“MWE: So we are all idiots and so are all the staff of “Vector Analysis Problem Solver”.”
Vector Analysis Problem Solver is not a good place to learn elementary mathematics. More basic education is needed.
“Needless to write, Bruhn quotes “chronostalker”. With supporters like this, who needs comedians? ”
One could write a mathematical comedy based on the subject “vector is a straight line”. But not, this is not comic. This is simply an elementary error. Instead of writing about comedians, MWE should simply correct his papers, and thanks to those who pointed errors in them. I guess it should not take too much of his time.
“With all due respect to Sanskrit, Mayan and Tibetan cultures, resonance was not inferred mathematically until 1739 (in Europe), and vectors were invented by Heaviside until the end of the nineteenth century (again in Europe).
According to Wikipedia: “Vector analysis has its origin in quaternion analysis, and was formulated by the American scientist, J. Willard Gibbs ”
“MWE: I think it is very necessary to expose Bruhn as a foul mouthed fraud, and necessary to draw attention to him through the Widlar Committee, and from his Dean and President, offering him a letter of resignation, or a letter firing him outright. If this is not done we know that the Dean and President support garbage scientists on
their faculty. These are all highly paid by the working taxpayers of the EEC.”
Here we have again Evans’ invitation to “debate with him directly”.
That is enough about vectors, straight lines and “garbage scientists”. Recently another subject drew my attention, namely that of “the psychopaths”
