Informed opinions, please.

I know nothing about either maths or physics, so before attempting to understand the arguements on the site linked to, I'd appreciate opinions as to whether or not it makes any valid points.

copyright since '96 and still no-one has prooved them wrong.. I would say no-one is bothering because there is a flaw, but its over my head..

[ughaibu]

Okay, thanks.

The maths is beyond me, but I have two observations:

1. The emotional language in the site is a diagnostic feature of pseudoscience.
2. An acronym of the site's copyright holder is Re my con: a big loser

i just thought that was a silly thing to say.. If there is a flaw and you point it out you get money.. I dont know

[ughaibu]

I agree that the sensationalism of the presentation is suspicious. Maybe a concerted effort by our resident physicists can land the 50K.

If you have played poker you will be the familiar with the art of bluffing.....when you don't even have a pair.

This site has been around for a few years, and its author is far from serious about his prize offer. Much like Kent Hovind's evolution challenge, there is no real way to win the money.

Suffice to say, the page is just bad algebra dressed up as physics.
