crackpotWorking on a post about Rindler horizons and about how the holographic principle isn’t as weird as you might think. But in the interim some stuff I found entertaining:

Woit has some thoughts about recent ‘trends’ in physics, including Verlinde’s contribution.

A reminder that there is a well-established standard for crackpottery.

And finally…

“They laughed at Newton. They laughed at Galileo. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”
– Carl Sagan

    I love your blog, keep up the good work.

    I also enjoy John Baez’ Crackpot Index. An even better one (but much more serious) is that by Warren Siegel of SUNY, titled “Are You a Quack?” which can be found here.
