AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around humorous and absurd posts from a physics forum, highlighting the entertainment value of unconventional ideas and "crackpot" theories. Participants share links to various threads that exemplify this, including one questioning the logic of using telepathy while sending an email, and another suggesting that lifting one's legs could enable flight. The conversation also touches on a particularly bizarre theory involving Earth's magnetic field and Atlantis, which was noted for its creativity but ultimately deleted.

MM,

That's a beauty. It's too bad MIH's title is not sincere, maybe something like, "Best Crackpot posts of the year". I think some will not get the intent, and list great posts instead. hehe...

Rhody... o:)

There was truly awesome one just the other day that wondered if the "alternate Earth energy e=mc^2" could explain, in one shot, the missing Atlantis and the presence of the (hollow) Moon by way of Earth's magnetic field acting "like a car's alternator" and ejecting it.

And it had diagrams.

I wanted to preserve it, perhaps in acrylic, but alas, it was unceremoniously expunged.
 
Can we self-nominate? I just desperately want attention.

I'm in an industrial printing facility sitting next to a 300C gas dryer, on top of a 5 gallon bucket of blanket wash (not that kind of blanket), wearing earplugs because of the deafening noise, and all of the local clocks are off by 3 hours.
