Ok sometimes at work when I am waiting for a reaction to finish or I have a few spare moments I browse the web. One of my favorite websites is www.physorg.com. Well the other day I had been in a rare bookstore and had come across a book in the science section about a CIP (Cook Inertial Propulsion) Engine. It is a book that basically states that Newton's Laws of motion were wrong and that this man has invented a new propulsion that he attempts to explain. If you want a good lesson in bad physics please read up on CIP. Well any who after leaving the bookstore I decided to look up more information on CIP and discovered some references to it in the physorg.com forums. After looking further I came across many threads involving really bad physics of people making huge claims followed by responses showing the inaccuracies followed by the initial poster calling them a name and then claiming to be like Galileo. Unfortunately it is not just enough to be persecuted like Galileo you also have to be correct in your assertion. Anyways the whole story is basically to say that I have found a great way of passing time. Here are a couple of examples of what I am talking about.
Thermodynamics!
Relativity!

Ah, the joys of 21st century minds. All arrogance, no humility; all self-deception, no truth; all assertion, no logic.
"A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding Than a hundred blows into a fool." [Proverbs 17:10]
So much for persuasion.
