Joking about something doesn't change the fact that he is a trained physicist, nor does it change the OP's misleading description. "Attempted foray into another field", indeed.
- tpush 5y agoHe's joking about being a physicist to deflect any criticism of his crackpot theory he peddled for years before putting up a half baked paper that was quickly found out to be basic quackery and adding insult to (cognitive) injury, put that paper behind a 'waitlist' that you have to sign up with your email for, presumably so he can market to the poor fellow wanting to read his amazing paper. There are so many intellectual red flags bundled into a person it beggars belief seeing so many people on HN being ensnared by such a totally obvious grifter.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoOr maybe he's just joking, period? The "paper" in question was apparently released on April 1.. He is, in fact, a trained mathematical physicist, with a PhD from Harvard, no less. That doesn't make his theory right. But it does mean that the OP's selective quoting is somewhere between misleading and outright deceptive.
