The Final Theory
Any opinions on the book "The Final Theory - Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy"?
Who is Mark McCutcheon. What are his credentials?

Any opinions on the book "The Final Theory - Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy"? You can read a sample chapter for free at http://www.thefinaltheory.com/pages/1/index.htm which is total, unadulterated crap. As one (tiny) example, here is one of his "problems" with Newtonian gravity (p. 14): - Despite the ongoing energy expended by Earth’s gravity to hold objects down and the moon in orbit, this energy never diminishes in strength or drains a power source – in violation of one of our most fundamental laws of physics: the Law of Conservation of Energy. There are, of course, many more, but that alone should be enough to give most people an idea of the level of the book. In short, if you're impressed by this book, you're an idiot - period. Who is Mark McCutcheon. What are his credentials? He has no scientific credentials. According to the vanity press that published his book http://www.upublish.com/book.php?met...ook=1581126018 "Mark McCutcheon is a 38-year-old, Canadian-born Electrical Engineer living in Australia" -E

In this case, it was pretty obvious, and I doubt if it fooled anyone, but one could imagine the technique getting a little more refined. -E
