Book Review "Bankrupting Physics" by Alexander Unzicker and Sheilla Jones. MacMillan publisher.
This is a one-horse book. The authors have one sentence that they re-work, seemingly with great pleasure, amounting to the statement that all the scientists who have driven physics for the past century are idiots.
If you have read any of my other writings, you will know that I frequently question the work of my contemporaries and predecessors. But Mr Unzickner and Ms Jones have, in my opinion, crossed way over a line separating good science writing from bad. One does not become more enlightened by reading more. One only realizes more clearly that these authors are filled with vitriol and contempt. Or, to be generous, their writing is filled with vitriol and contempt.
The book would be very different if they had taken the time to organize their destruction. Each of the failures of modern physics and cosmology, paraded out for the reader, are well known to most of us. I gain nothing by having them all arranged scatter shot and padded with derision with exclamation points.
