The Crackpot Index

Well, once in a while I indeed face an uneducated fella who claims that Einstein's energy-mass relation is wrong not knowing there is momentum as well in the equation or some other who just discovered a machine that could run forever or a way to produce energy but giving less. Anyway, I have found a way to index all these ideas thank John Baez for supplying this list. Here is some of them

A simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to physics:

1. A -5 point starting credit.
2. 1 point for every statement that is widely agreed on to be false.
3. 2 points for every statement that is clearly vacuous.
4. 3 points for every statement that is logically inconsistent.
5. 5 points for each such statement that is adhered to despite careful correction.
6. 5 points for using a thought experiment that contradicts the results of a widely accepted real experiment.
7. 5 points for each word in all capital letters (except for those with defective keyboards).
8. 5 points for each mention of "Einstien", "Hawkins" or "Feynmann".
9. 10 points for each claim that quantum mechanics is fundamentally misguided (without good evidence).
10. 10 points for pointing out that you have gone to school as if this were evidence of sanity.

The rest of the list.
