Sorting Category: Asinine (Toss)

The APS receives so many abstarcts for their huge annual conference that they cannot afford to peer review them. As a result, all submitted abstracts are published in the conference proceedings—including this:

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE!

Tisk tisk on LANL for ignorning this genius...

Rob Coker found this in the APS conference manual while he was attending (in Denver, I think), and showed it to me at work the following week. I had always meant to scan it and display it here, but the idea was lost in Thesis Madness™. Thanks to Nina for finding it again and sending it my way!

Oh, and here's the organization that he belongs to: The Orion Foundation. Chock full 'o pseudoscience. My favorite part is the proof of censorship by LANL's arXiv staff. The Cliff's Notes version goes like this:

LANL: You submitted your paper in 10 parts; please submit it as one part.

GENTRY: Here it is in 10 parts again.

LANL: You're being a rube; we're suspending your account.

GENTRY: You're repressing me!

LANL: Feel free to submit your paper as one document and we'll add it to the archive.

GENTRY: You're repressing me!

LANL: Sorry, so much time has passed that we passed the arXiv project on to Cornell University. Please go bother them and leave us alone, you boob.

UPDATE: Turns out The Orion Foundation and its "sister site," halos.com, are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of... Robert V. Gentry. What a surprise. Check out this in-depth analysis of Gentry's arguments concerning "polonium radiohalos."
