Lolcow Mohammad Shafiq Khan - the man who disproved physics.

[melty]

This guy reminds me of Marijan, for some reason. Only instead of sex and human relationships, it's science.

Yeah, they have basically the same m.o. bizarre theories, everybody else is insane, no one has ever disproved anything I've said ever, citing themselves as sources, etc.

I don't know if any one else has pointed this out in his very own biograpjy but I found it so funny. ( I suspect Dynastia has read it)...
Anyhoo, he says:
"Born in Srinagar the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir state of India; completed Masters in Physics from University of Kashmir with second position. (not an "A" grade is what I believe he is saying). Took up research in Department of Physics Kashmir University for some time. I did not complete the Doctorate but joined as Physics Lecturer in Regional Engineering College Srinagar; also for some time. I was appointed in Forest Department as State Forest Officer & I continue to work as Forest Officer...
That just explains so much. But not too worry as, he claims. he is Chief Officer as well as Director of Forestry. And spends much time thinking about "...theology, philosophy & science especially physics, cosmology, biology to understand the origin and purpose of universe & life on the planet earth.".
So, you can, I think, understand his position on physics better npw.

I would love to see both him and Brad Watson debate on the Drunken Peasants podcast. That would be heaven.

Second position probably means second in his class, though usually only lawyers and doctors care about that distinction.

Ah, I see, I had a friend who was/is British who had a fit because she didn't get first or something like that, so I assumed it was the same. But I do believe your thought on this makes more sense.
But still, Chief of the Forest just strikes me as funny.

I wonder what it would take to get Mohammad to listen to reason. Every time someone disproves his theory, it's like talking to a brick wall.

i bet if he showed up here it'd be different

Regarding the luminous watchamathingy he supposedly sees around lamps: either he's experimenting with interesting pharmaceuticals, or he's seeing something like N-rays. I read a book a while back that explained how the N-ray mistake came about; basically, the number of rods and cones are different in different parts of the eye, so when you look at something from the corner of your eye it can appear brighter than it really is. Basically, Mohammad Shafiq Khan is derping a type of derp that was debunked in 1903.

I just think it's fascinating, the level of egotism to genuinely believe that every expert in the area of physics and evolutionary biology and every other aspect of science is fundamentally wrong, proven so by this one guy, when everyone in those fields have dedicated their lives to the study of it and he's just musing here and there in his spare time.

Science kooks are all like that. The one nutty theory explains all kind especially.

Some examples.

Archimedes Plutonium (old skool Usenet kook)
Time Cube lunatic Gene Ray who had a thread here
Any nutcase obsessed with perpetual motion machines or conspiracies to hide magic sources of free energy

This Khan guy is just the latest in a long line of crackpots who basically all act the same, claiming all science is bunk, only he has the truth, and anyone who disagrees with him or, more likely, laughs at him, are evil conspirators or retards for rejecting his retardation.

So he's the Physics Scientist edition of Chris-chan?

I'm guessing it's a common theme to refuse to listen to anyone except a super famous scientist? That way they can dismiss anyone and don't have to address any criticism, while maintaining superiority.

It kind of does, but when the person they want to address them (normally a person in charge of something important like a head master of the science department) does so, and unsurprisingly bash them into oblivion, they slowly start to implode themselves into "whatever, who cares what YOU say, I know I'm right, the world is missing on this because everyone is stupid but me" and then fade away into madness and finish living under a bridge.

It's win/win for them - either they never get addressed by the famous scientist and they can trumpet their superiority and claim it's because they're too afraid, or they get to boast about talking with this super famous scientist, which gives them legitimacy, and he can still claim that it's all a conspiracy to hide the truth.

Not really, you see, most of the time the real scientists are kind of busy researching and the really important ones are even more busy and really hard to reach (even by their own peers).
So when one of them actually address a nutcase it's just for fun and giggles and he just point out all the flaws in whatever crazyness he just read, so even if the nut case try to reply or anything, he'll got dogpiled once everyone knows he was bashed by the real scientist, rendering whatever he could come up as complete garbage.

Off topic:
Here's one tip on the magical world of science; the only thing more important than having references to back your work up, is your credibility. So even if you're a great researcher with great ideas, if you are caught cheating, spreading lies or whatever just once, your whole career goes to the drain and you'll never be able to come back because everyone "knows you", no second chances or anything.

Lets hope that we can get enough publicity to get the minister of physics to inform the president of science that mohammed shafiq khan is challenging him and demanding a duel to claim the president's title. Bill Nye won't give up the presidency so easily so this will be an interesting science match.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Um, just an aside here.

Time Cube Guy is an true genius, it's not really his fault none of us can understand what the fuck he's trying to say.

Mohammed is a egotistical prick with a terribly out of date theory who lives on the attention and drama.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled posting.

It would be fascinating to see him try to justify his theories without the ability to fall back on "you're all retards". Maybe he'd do it anyway.
