The discussion centers on a book promoting "Null Physics," which claims to offer a grand unifying theory explaining a balanced universe and challenges established cosmological concepts like the Big Bang. Participants express skepticism about the book's validity, with some labeling it as "crackpottery" and questioning the merit of its theories. Concerns are raised about the high price of $70, suggesting it may not be worth the investment without credible backing. The overall sentiment leans towards caution, emphasizing the ease of publishing questionable theories. Ultimately, the book's claims and the author's intentions remain under scrutiny.

So, I've been seeing ads for this book in PopSci, and checked out the website, but haven't heard a lot of discussions about it:

It claims to explain the following:

# Introduction to Null Physics - a logical grand unifying theory.
# Null Cosmology - Our eternal universe is in perfect balance.
# Cosmic Fusion Cycle - Maintains a perfect state of balance.
# Intergalactic Red Shift - The big bang got it wrong.Has anyone read this book? And what is the consensus? Is this good stuff? I'd like to buy it but it's $70, and I'd like to get an opinion on it first. Of course, not necessarily whether or not it's all true or not, but at least whether or not it is a sound theory that deserves it's merit.
Thanks.

It's very easy to write hogwash and it is almost as easy to have it published- especially if you are willing to pay to have it printed and then try to sell the book you self through ads.
 
I have no problems with crackpottery - but paying $70 for it stupider than stupid - think of how many of Big Macs you could buy! (Actually the 2 apple pies for $1 is my favourite deal.) :smile:
 
Maybe it was intended to be humourous as in satire or just taking the pi$$ out of physicists.
 
MOVING CLOCKS In this section, we show that clocks moving at high speeds run slowly. We construct a clock, called a light clock, using a stick of proper lenght ##L_0##, and two mirrors. The two mirrors face each other, and a pulse of light bounces back and forth betweem them. Each time the light pulse strikes one of the mirrors, say the lower mirror, the clock is said to tick. Between successive ticks the light pulse travels a distance ##2L_0## in the proper reference of frame of the clock...
