Lolcow Mohammad Shafiq Khan - the man who disproved physics.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Fun fact: He is genuinely baffled his "standing open challenge" didn't prevent a Nobel prize being awarded.

But but but he specifically said it wasn't a publicity stunt, you don't think this guy is dishonest, do you? :lol:

"My challenge may not be treated as a publicity stunt, but I sincerely wish that truth should prevail on this planet and am expecting identical response from all truth loving people/intellectuals. I do understand that it is hard for mainstream physicists to reconcile with the alternative philosophy; though actual and factual; as almost all the living physicists and researchers are borne, brought up and taught physics which is fundamentally incorrect. Their livelihood is based on the physics which has been adopted as the result of fraud, but these material interests should never be a stumbling block to acknowledge the reality, which to my understanding is the essence of scientificthinking and honest living for the betterment of entire human society."

Or does that sound like he wants it to be treated as a publicity stunt?

Not only dishonest but a really shitty attempt at reverse psychology.

At least, he claims to. This guy is posting all over the internet trying to get momentum for his thesis papers which are filled with some great "proofs" - he legitimately believes that because Stephen Hawking has not responded to his "thesis", it must be because it is valid and Stephen himself is afraid to bring attention to it. Very arrogant.

At the bottom he posts to a science forum pretending to be a physics teacher at a total loss as to how to debunk this theory for his students, and then he is revealed to be the author himself. Typical lolcow behaviour. Before that, here's a taste of him though:

He spams in many places, making very wild claims, like:

"Einstein’s all theories have been shown to be incorrect and consequently openly challenged on the basis of published articles. Open challenge is on World Science Database & General Science Journal."

Apparently every single physicist is knowledgable about his "open challenge", which is published in a peer-reviewed legitimate journal - oh no, wait, it's a notorious "pay-to-publish" one, INDJST.

Some of his publications include...

Quite ambitious, right? Every single time he is questioned or flaws are pointed out in his methodology, he falls back to "no famous physicist has disproved me", and calls everyone exceptional individuals.

He does not respond to questions no matter how nicely they are phrased, everyone is immediately an idiot for questioning him, and we must instead "gather all the physicists of the world" to produce a rebuttal paper before he'll even consider that he might be wrong.

Here's a great satirical takedown of him:

"Dear Prof Shafiq
Your present paper has definitely clarified what your theory actually explains. It is amazing that how all physicists including myself were confused for a century. Me and my colleges here read your paper with interest and had a nice discussion on it. We find it so interesting that we are all shocked at what you have proved. It has already changed the course of modern physics. You are definitely the best scientist of this century. You will face a lot of opposition now as you have challenged all existing scientific theories, which will make a lot of physicists lose jobs. Now all physics has to be rewritten, and almost all work done on relativity has to be discarded.

With Regards
S. W. Hawking
Cambridge
United Kingdom"

Now, moving onto the juicy stuff - what are his actual theories/papers? Here's a link so you can view at your pleasure, I've taken a few quotes out.

http://www.indjst.org/index.php/indjst/search/authors/view?firstName=Mohammad Shafiq&middleName=&lastName=Khan&affiliation=&country=IN

"The present theory also envisages the theory for living things with primary concern of the life of human beings. The characteristics of the 'soul' energy has been defined; besides, proposal have been put forward regarding the characteristics of the 'energies' which being the source of life in all plants and animals."

"The scalar force field originated from the universal creator and with the initiation of the scalar force field energy; of which the matter is made up of; was converted into matter."

"For the first time the concepts of absolute space, emergent&relative time and aether or ether of classical physics&dark energy now named as Luminiferous Energy have been conceived simultaneously. The mystery of the above three concepts, existed in the electromagnetic radiation or light as the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiations, was not understood correctly: resultantly the true nature of everything remained unknown to the mankind."

"Consequently the physics which evolved in twentieth century is shown to be incorrect including the formulae E = mC2 and mν=mo /√1-(v2/c2).The final conclusion is that space is finite&absolute and accordingly the Big Bang Theory is established to be baseless."

IMPORTANT: HE ACTUALLY GOT DESTROYED ON A SCIENCE FORUM, SEE THE MELTDOWN IN ACTION.

Some choice quotes that are TOTALLY NOT FROM KHAN HIMSELF, Y'ALL.

"What he has said is absolutely correct as I have done this hundred times and I see the shinning lines eminating from the lamp. If you do not see these lines please get your eyes tested."

"Let you all know that I am not Khan or his associate. But I oppose his theory but not his person. I came here to find ways & means to oppose him on logic, mathematics, theory, experiments he referred in support of his theory. But I found here arrogant, over-confident idiots who do not what they are writing and above all they consider all others as ignorant beings. They enjoy writing non-sense including the so-called biased moderators who openly favour these idiots. They have been harassing me with bans and time & again they have suspended me. Hell with you & your Science Forum."

"Your are arrogant & having superficial knowledge and in short you are a perfect idiot. I have not gone to any forum other than this useless forum. You quoted GPS as the evidence of space contraction whereas every one knows that GPS is concerned with angles & time. I must have checked for one month the whole of internet to locate a single direct experimental evidence of space contraction so that I could throw the same on the face of Khan but there is not a single such direct experimental evidence. Whereas in your arrogance you say that theories of relativity are proved. Time dilation is experimentally confirmed time & again but Khan has even a better formula for time dilation and Maxwell's wave equation is also invariant under his transformation. This is the strength of his theory for which I wanted a clue from this forum."

"Your seem to be very strange people & instead of help you ask me to read books. Know all of you; I have hardly left any relevent book unread and I found no counter to Khan. Now I reached to the conclusion that I could not get any help from this forum because I found only idiots on this forum rather perfect idiots who take such a serious matter so lightly. Why can't you idiots understand that he has openly challenge the world physicist community on the whole.Hell with you & your idiotic forum."

Sorry for such a huge post, this guy is a goldmine. Thoughts? I'd love to hear from actual scientists that can go into detail about some of the specific claims he makes, he definitely takes refuge in verbosity and by throwing jargon in attempts to impress.

I can picture it now, Khan's dream scenario: It begins over at the Large Hadron Collider, Steven Hawking and his allies, in hushed silence, take a momentary break from experimental particle physics. And then, it happens. One of them speaks up.

"Man, fuck being productive next quarter. We need to respond to Khan's throwdown."

Geez, these ramblings are hard to read. I find my thoughts wandering off and then I need to re-read entire passages. Somebody should send this guy a bucket filled with commas.

Well, I, for one, suspect he,d, misuse those, comma,s, and, if questioned, as to why, he misused the comma,s, he,d claim it was ,,The Will of Allah,, that made him, do it,

Note to self: never read anything from Indian Journal of Science and Technology ever again.

Where to even start with this guy? I'm attempting to read this paper but I'm not sure if I want to devote time to actually seeing where his math goes. Also the math formatting is complete shit which is a huge turn off.

Don't, its as if someone from tumblr wrote it. Just in this paper alone he uses 3 paper he has written before as reference... He also talks about soul energy, lel.

And there is the acknowledgment section,
I thank S. W. Hawking and N. Gajendran for their words of encouragement. I am also thankful to Mir Faizal for being in constant touch during the process of preparation of this article.

More like they couldn't wait for everyone else to laugh at you and were making sure you were not going to pull back.
