Joy Christian is a crackpot (see TRF weblog posts) who has primarily claimed – for a decade or 2 – to receive got "disproven" Bell's theorem. He's been telling everyone that entanglement doesn't be as well as Nature is local realist, afterwards all. His "disproof" is based on trivial conceptual mistakes, Joy Christian's speak stupidity, as well as besides complex quaternion- or octonion-related notions that are manifestly besides hard for him to hold upward understood properly.
People who receive got interacted amongst him gradually learned that he is a hopeless crank as well as idiot as well as fifty-fifty or then "softcore harbors for cranks" such equally the Perimeter Institute receive got abolished all links amongst him or then years ago. But he keeps on trying to spread the sentiment that he has constitute or then amazing results.
Annals of Physics became the latest victim of his assaults – which were childish as well as creative at the same time. Everyone who has watched the literature on foundations of quantum mechanics a footling fighting must already know Joy Christian as well as the fact that he is a mental cripple. Referees inwards journals belong to this laid then they precisely say No.
But Joy Christian wants the publications then badly. Is at that topographic point a fashion to acquire your newspaper published inwards a refereed periodical if all the people working inwards your acre receive got basically learned that you lot are a hopeless idiot as well as your run is a pile of šit?
Well, the respond is Yes as well as Joy Christian has constitute the creative solution. The solution is that you lot must brand certain that your newspaper volition hold upward sent to referees from another field. So inwards 2014, he wrote a newspaper named
Local Causality inwards a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker SpacetimeHe rewrote his newspaper "disproving" Bell's theorem equally a newspaper amongst a few "general relativistic" extra words – although the cardinal declaration inwards the newspaper has aught whatever to create amongst full general relativity. General relativity was also used inwards most of the championship (the FRW spacetime is an Ansatz inwards full general relativistic cosmology) as well as sent the "paper" to Annals of Physics.
It has worked for him. The newspaper must receive got been sent to or then loop-quantum-gravity-type subpar physicist(s) who doesn't (or don't) genuinely empathise quantum mechanics good (or at all). And the "paper" looked OK according to this person's (or these people's) šitty standards then the newspaper was accepted inwards Oct 2016. As presently equally or then existent physicists read the "paper", they notified the editors as well as pointed out that a pile of pure šit has been published. These readers likely told the editors how Joy Christian managed to create it, too, because it's obvious i time you lot hold off at the "paper".
So the newspaper was manifestly removed straightaway as well as the abstract at the Annals of Physics spider web page of the "paper" was abruptly changed to
This article was erroneously included inwards this issue. We apologize for whatsoever inconvenience this may cause.Well, the publication of this pile of šit hasn't caused whatsoever inconvenience to the readers. It has solely caused an inconvenience to the periodical because many readers receive got noticed that the referee procedure inwards Annals of Physics is pretty lousy.
See the Florin Moldoveanu who primarily tries to repeat an explanation why Joy Christian's claims are wrong. I don't intend I desire to written report it inwards particular – I've done it several times inwards the past times as well as I don't intend that Florin explains anything virtually quantum mechanics quite correctly (even if he's basically right virtually the main claims, similar inwards this case). See a 2012 weblog post to run across the main "flaw" inwards all repetitions of Joy Christian's argument.
You know, the fact that Brian Greene et al. were fooled past times a crook is absolutely obvious but this crackpot aßhole may receive got studied or then technicalities inwards the constabulary then i can't quite exclude the possibility that or then lawyers or judges volition grip amongst him that it is him who has been deceived.
Just to hold upward sure, equally far equally I tin say, if someone slaughtered Joy Christian, sold the materials equally pork, as well as claimed that it was precisely a squealer who was threatening them on the road, the explanation would hold upward OK amongst me. Obviously, it is really probable that equally an editor-in-chief, I would straightaway discard a "paper" submitted past times Joy Christian unless at that topographic point would or then really special novel reasons to deed otherwise. This human being is a consummate šithead as well as whatsoever referee procedure etc. is a giant waste materials of fourth dimension as well as resources because the probability that he may notice something truthful soundless of import is much lower than the probability that you lot volition hold upward hitting past times an asteroid. Moreover, I am pretty certain that everything he wrote inwards the recent 10+ years are precisely small-scale variations of the really same incorrect affair he keeps on repeating all the time.
If Brian Greene had seen the refer of the writer before the newspaper was published, as well as I intend that the editor-in-chief should have, I intend it's merely been a blunder for Brian non to cease the publication procedure much earlier.
The fraudulent championship wasn't the solely aspect inwards which Joy Christian was cheating inwards a really childish, Nigerian way. Open the arxiv.org page of the preprint as well as you lot volition run across that the writer is
Joy Christian (Oxford).So you lot volition likely say, OK, he's been fired past times the Perimeter Institute but he keeps or then affiliation amongst Oxford University (much similar anti-complementarity Shahriar Afshar affiliated himself amongst Harvard University i time he was the official visitor of a Harvard janitor or something similar that). You e'er notice crazy people somewhere then what's the big deal. But if you lot receive got reacted inwards this way, you lot receive got been deceived equally well. If you lot opened upward the PDF file, you lot volition run across that his actual affiliation is
Einstein Centre for Local-Realistic Physics, fifteen Thackley End, Oxford OX2 6LB, United KingdomHave you lot heard of the middle before? You may purpose Google Maps as well as Street View to determine whether it looks similar a scholarly institution. The edifice looks similar or then aeroplane edifice amongst a messy minivan as well as 2 illegal immigrants stealing the windows at the 2nd flooring inwards front end of the Google minivan.
It's clearly his ain refer of an "institution" that Joy Christian has created for himself. "Einstein" is at that topographic point to travel inwards cool as well as impressive as well as "local-realistic physics" is the materials that this crackpot is obsessed with. And he shortens the refer of his individual "Einstein Centre for Local-Realistic Physics" equally "Oxford" because that's the town that has embarrassingly allowed him to alive at that topographic point inwards an apartment. He must know what form of "Oxford" most readers volition receive got inwards mind.
I intend that if this slice of šit is genuinely going to sue Brian Greene or his journal, as well as if Brian Greene has allowed that crackpot "paper" to hold upward published because Brian is "nice", it may hold upward quite a lesson for Brian educational activity him how unsafe it is non to destroy similar aggressive cranks as well as their attempts equally presently equally possible. People similar that are a genuine threat for whatsoever form of high-quality, honest scientific process, particularly if they squad upward amongst or then rogue or immensely stupid lawyers.
