This ‘brainless-child’ of Mr Roger John Shawyer is no more, in the sense that the last of his companies which hoped to profit from his ‘glorified tin can’ closed on the 23rd April this year leaving, of course, nothing in the kitty. Last year they had £286, following some fancy financial footwork which largely cancelled out some £159000 of debt. What happened to the hundreds of thousands of pounds of investment which Shawyer’s companies received, some of them from the scientifically-challenged UK government? The latter has since taken Osamu Ide’s perpetual-motion machine seriously! Nevertheless the Emdrive-cult survives, with crackpots all over the world (many of them attached to universities) imagining that they are getting positive results. The ‘gold standard’ for testing supposed antigravity machines is the ballistic pendulum. But that cannot be used to test the Emdrive because the noise/signal ratio is too high and the expected thrust is too low. Vibration is certainly the cause of the meaningless propulsion data which they lovingly collect (rather in the way that paranormal investigators look for telepathy in randomness). While presiding over the demise of his last company, Mr Shawyer was apparently writing a book about the Emdrive (https://www.routledge.com/EmDrive-Advances-in-Spacecraft-Thrusters-and-Propulsion-Systems/Shawyer/p/book/9781032599007) Nobody in their right mind is going to pay the high price (or the oddly higher Kindle price), but one can get the gist of it from the above sample. It cites many of the familiar villains, such as Eric Laithwaite and Roger Jennison (the “poor man’s Peter Higgs”) and accidentally reveals yet again the poor scientific quality of those working in the UK’s defence industry. That had initially been revealed by the Project Greenglow clown-show run by BAE Systems, and it is quite frightening to learn that clownish Shawyer had also been involved in sensitive projects. It is bad enough that certain weapons exist, but it is even worse to know that they are overseen technology-wise by those who do not comprehend elementary physics.

January 22, 2024“Electrodynamics by Clifford algebra
January 19th, 2024
The researcher Anil Goel, who works with the Munich group, has written a comprehensive article on the fundamentals of electrodynamics. This is based on Clifford Algabra, which is an extension of the usual vector analysis. It is known that Maxwell originally wrote down his equations in the form of quaternions, which are a subalgebra of Clifford algebra. Heaviside simplified this representation to the well-known vector algebra, which oversimplified certain relationships.
In Clifford algebra, for example, two types of E and B fields arise, which allow perpendicular and parallel interaction, so that, among other things, the Beltrami fields that we use emerge. Together with the symmetrical current densities (electrical and magnetic) used by ECE, additional terms arise in the e-m energy density, which describe not only the energy flow in an electrical conductor but also the energy flow outside the conductor, which is also known as Heaviside energy (according to an old conjecture by Heaviside). Tesla, for example, exploited this energy flow in his inventions.
I am in the process of writing a shorter article that describes Anil’s key findings within the framework of ECE theory in vector form and does not require Clifford algebra. This will be part III of the series “The homogeneous and inhomogeneous ECE current”. Anil’s results definitely bring a significant gain in knowledge of the basics of electromagnetism and their applications.”
Experienced skeptics will immediately spot that there must be something wrong with a theory that cites the crackpot, Tesla, favourably and which contrives to introduce the Golden Section into the proceedings. One presumes that AIAS needs to promote a new perpetual-motion machine, now that ‘Dr’ Bearden is definitely dead and his fraudulent machine (‘explained’ by all of the AIAS gang) is even deader. Even leaving aside his Ra device, investing in Mr Goel is fraught with financial danger, as Kelly Sumner found out. Kelly Sumner? Sometime CEO of Commodore (UK), pusher of the depraved Grand Theft Auto game? Multi-millionaire living in exclusive Weybridge?
As computer-market pundit, Barry Collins, reported 8 years ago:
Too good to be true?
Sumner said he came out of his first meeting with Anil Goel convinced that “if it did what it said it was going to do, I thought it was amazing”. He then spent the next few weeks touring all the major telcos in Europe and the US to do his “due diligence” and find out if there was anything else like MEEM on the market. “There wasn’t, so I was in,” he said.
He invested a considerable amount in the MEEM device (essentially a memory-stick concealed within a connecting cable), safe in the knowledge that there were granted patents (affixed to Goel’s theoretical paper) to back it. They were indeed granted but, in the paper praised by Ghastly, Goel fails to mention that they lapsed due to a failure to pay the maintenance fees.
“We have patents and they’re very strong patents,” [Sumner had] said. “We took the best part of seven years to get them approved in North America and Europe. If you are charging via a cable and backing up at the same time, you’ve broken our patent. It’s very broad.”
Sharing the spoils
“MEEM has been partly financed by crowdfunding – £700,000 of its £2.5 million funds have come from investors online. But MEEM didn’t use Kickstarter or Indiegogo to create pre-orders for its product. Using Crowdcube, MEEM gave investors an equity stake in the company, with around 6% of the firm now owned by small investors.”
It was unfortunately discovered that the device could not in fact be manufactured economically, and the whole project collapsed amidst remarkable acrimony:
https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2017/2688.html
So, bottom line, if even Goel’s conventional technology does not work as promised, what are the odds that his energy-from-nowhere device will do any better?
[If anyone is interested, we can supply the names and addresses of all of the small investors who lost out.
Footnote: we are surprised that Ghastly and Goel failed to note that Clifford was one of the several people, before Einstein, who suggested that gravity might be caused by space distortion. We shall watch with interest to see whether they now slip our erudition into their ignorance.
But how, Ghastly, How?!
December 20, 2023
How is a lowly LRSC, GRSC, PGCE bog-standard schoolteacher, no degree in a relevant subject, going to manage all that? Of course, it is not as if you have to pass any peer-review process. One imagines that the predatory journals charge too much, and even Progress in Physics might baulk at ECe tripe. But isn’t ‘publishing’ on aias.us rather like ‘shouting down a well’ … and always has been.
By the way, isn’t it odd that there is now a Cambridge, Chair of Fundamental Physics, named after a notorious crackpot (perpetual motion, antigravity, anti-Einstein). Why was that crackpot not Ron? Too Welsh/American? Wife too poor to bribe a university?
According to Ron (blog, 14th August 2007)
” Harold Aspden seems to tackle the same problems for which ECE theory offers a consistent solution now, including the energy problem.”
Unternehmen Kolibri?
December 18, 2023Has there been a putsch at AIAS? The site seems to have been entirely taken over by Penderghastly, who received a Hauksbee Medal on one of the Royal Society’s many off-days (but at least it was free, unlike the vacuum-cleaner salesman’s Fellowship). And Penderghastly has found a job for Alex Hill: translating much of the nonsense into Spanish. Presumably Hill was at a loose end now that his et3m perpetual-motion scam-site has closed down. UPITEC seems to be out too: it no longer appears to be a mirror-site for the disinformation. Perhaps SS has gone back to his old friends at the Munich perpetual-motion club,
https://www.energonauten.org/ergebnisse
By the way, Penderghastly, would it not have been nice to celebrate commemorate finally the death of the ‘doyen of American loony-tunes’, Dr (causus turpitudinis) Tom Bearden, inventor of the MEG perpetual-motion machine?
Welcome Emigrant
November 17, 2023Faithful readers will remember Victor Riecansky, ufologist and publisher of Ron’s ill-fated journal and of many other loony items. It was never explained why the journal suddenly disappeared. How could a journal that was founded by Ron, edited by Ron, peer-reviewed by Ron and largely filled with Ron’s papers possibly fail? Did Riecansky suddenly acquire some scientific principals? Of course, Riecansky’s company, Cambridge International Science Publishing, was regularly threatened with closure by Companies House, but company misdeeds are another matter. Anyway, it was reported by the Abingtons and Hildersham News that his funeral was held on the 22nd of April last year and that his ashes were taken back to Czechoslovakia: which was a pretty neat trick, given that the country no longer exists. When it did exist, he did not seem to think too much of it and came to the UK as a stateless person.
An Astounding Triumph for Pseudoscience
August 26, 2023We knew about the possibility of this coming horror some time ago, but kept quiet in order to avoid undermining the impact of that book. It is now too late for that. Observers of crackpots will be aware of Dr Harold Aspden; someone who was far better known than Ron and who devoted his entire career to backing pseudosciences. We obtained his will. It was fairly routine. Then we obtained his widow’s will and found that she was very wealthy, thus explaining why he could give up real science as soon as they married. But here is the shock: she bequeathed £2,500,000 to Cambridge University (the alma mater that he did nothing but shame) on condition that they found a professorial chair in Aspden’s name. Of course, they were never going to do that … oh, but they did! Professor J.J.Baumberg FRS (as awarded to vacuum-cleaner salesmen) is now the proud holder of the Harold Aspden Chair (of psychoceramics?). The university commented, “Aspden was a prolific and dedicated scientist, author of many books, publications and research papers. An archive of his documents is now hosted at the Cavendish Laboratory and the University Library.”. Have they ever looked at his output? We would like to see them cite anything that was not pseudoscientific. They praise his patents expertise. Did they not notice that he had himself attempted to patent cold-fusion and an antigravity machine? Did they not notice that he had cheated the public purse out of thousands of pounds by getting DTi ‘SMART’ grants for the development of perpetual-motion machines? Will Cambridge ever live this down? Of course it will. The muggles (our friend’s name for non-physicists) cannot judge. When Ron’s friend Dunging-Davies got an award from a pseudoscientific organisation for his work on perpetual motion, not only did local newspapers laud him, it was mentioned in the yearbook of his former university! British academia is looking more and more like American politics … and now it has its own Trump.
Siemens Stain Slumming Again
March 15, 2023He has been prostituting himself in Nexus again, issue of August/September 2022, and writing about Tesla, Bearden and Cater. Tesla of course is the ‘Einstein for cranks’. Bearden’s perpetual-motion machine was ‘explained’ by Ron’s gang, leading to the debacle at Foundations of Physics Letters and getting the editor sacked. Ron also smuggled Bearden’s nonsense into a once-prestigious chemistry journal. As for Cater, words fail: he was the looniest of loonies. And the mystery remains: has SS retired and, if not, why does Siemens still keep paying him? On the other hand, there is a tendency for electrical engineers to be cranks (e.g. Laithwaite), so perhaps the company does not see anything amiss in his behaviour.
The Worm in the Egg
March 4, 2023Siemens Stain has been hard at work, building his castle on the sand of Ron’s crackpot theory. He has now published Part 1 of this drivel-fest, for which he demands a mere 89 Euros for the epub form. One wonders who on Earth is going to pay that*. He has also taken a leaf out of Trump’s book and made it look like a child’s fairy-story. He has moreover released, like a rabid animal, a video summary of ECe,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1laqkcfyQc-9uOepesftsFgZ-sWXQsC8b/view
Over the past few years, we have mentioned several times an interesting fact about Cartan-theory without making too much of a point about it. As usual, this is a matter of our ‘keeping our powder dry’. Ron never noticed this interesting defect, although it is well-known to Cartan scholars and, of course, his lapdog Siemens Stain certainly never noticed anything amiss. The problem is that this defect makes a nonsense of everything that Ron has ever stated in connection with the fatuous ECe theory. As a ‘taster’, read again those texts where Ron spelled-out, in no uncertain terms, exactly what roles curvature and torsion play in his twisted version of physics. See if you can spot the unaccountably strange behaviour – on Cartan’s part – which brings all of ECe crashing down.
*Note that one is unlikely to see any negative reviews of the book on Amazon. This is because the latter has changed its rules so that one has to buy the book from Amazon before one is allowed to review it. So even if one found a remaindered copy (unlikely anyway with a print-on-demand publication) the author would be insulated from insult.
Another Coup
March 1, 2023We have been rather busy for months with lots of irritating distractions (illness, death, other work, etc.) but have found another embarrassing piece of information which will be fed straight into that book. Keeping our powder dry, here is the gist. A world-infamous crackpot, who somehow acquired a large amount of money, willed millions to a world-renowned university. The condition is that the money must be used to establish a professorial chair in the crackpot’s name. Alternatively, the money must be used to fund Fellowships in his name. What a dilemma! Is the university going to turn down all of that money? Or is it going to make itself a laughing-stock by having, effectively, a professor of pseudoscience forever on its staff? We await developments with interest.
New Kid on the Block – Revisited
April 10, 2022Do you remember the crackpot, Remi Oseri Cornwall, whom we mentioned some time ago? He claims to have attended a public school (private school for American readers) and publishes loony papers about perpetual motion and antigravity. At the last mention, we noted that he had walked away from a company and its hundreds of thousands of pounds of debt. It is one of the marvels of the UK company system that a company which handles large amounts of money (sometimes into the millions) is nevertheless termed a ‘micro-company’. Even better, a micro-company does not have be audited by external examiners: it does its own due diligence. Well, guess what, another company of his has just gone into receivership, with debts of over £300000. The interesting question is, as always, on what exactly was the money spent? Compare him to poor old Ron. Ron’s companies failed, but at least they had assets to the tune of £2. And let us not forget Mr Eyre, a one-time co-director of Ron’s companies. He made millions of pounds with his last company. It was indeed his last company, given that he is currently in gaol … for investment fraud and embezzlement. Who knows, perhaps the revelations of that book will see some other pseudoscientists having their collars felt.
Ron’s Will Defied
February 18, 2022We have now acquired a copy of Ron’s will, but we cannot legally publish it here without Mrs Ron’s permission. On the other hand, there is no need to … because it is essentially the same as the version that Ron posted on his blog years ago. That is, it specifies that the house must be preserved in perpetuity as a grace-and-favour home for some Welsh-speaker, that a foundation be set up in Ron’s name and that Gareth Evans should be the administrator. The will also specifies that the latter should be senior executor of the will. Now here is the strange thing: the probate report states that Mrs Ron was the sole executor and dealt with the circa £150000 of assets. What happened to all of the grandiose plans?
New Kid on the Block?
September 6, 2021We should perhaps be looking for someone to take the place of Ron. A suitable candidate has been suggested to us; another crackpot who considers himself to be a great scientist, who has somehow acquired academic credentials and yet prattles about perpetual-motion and antigravity. He also has a significant connection to the criminal, John Roy Robert Searl, in that he and Searl have had the same co-directors on their boards. Ron of course had a now-convicted crook on his board, but never made any money. Our new subject keeps running up large debts (£250000) with his companies but – because of limited-liability status – just walks away and starts another one. Anyway, the guy’s name is Remi Oseri Cornwall (goodness knows his antecedents). A suitable case for treatment?
Penrose Wins Nobel
October 6, 2020If only Ron were here to see this; the apoplexy would kill him! He would certainly claim that black holes are fake news but, even more, he would point out that Hawking – who is much more strongly associated publicly with black holes than is Penrose – did not get a Nobel on the grounds that it is not awarded for mathematics or theory. So what has changed? Of course Penrose, scion of a supposedly genius family, has done many things. Work that he did with his father inspired the ‘perpetual-motion’ engraving of Escher. But we do not believe in universal genius, and Penrose holds some very strange – even paranormal – beliefs with regard to the functioning of the human brain.
Background?
September 24, 2020Over the years, various correspondents made cryptic comments about Ron’s ‘social’ behaviour, dating as far back as secondary school. We assumed that the comments were not more explicit simply because everyone was afraid of that notoriously litigious clown. It might encourage the writing of that book, which tends to get bogged-down in scientific detail, if there were some spicy anecdotes to leaven it. Please don’t make things up, although that is the price that crackpots always pay for getting mixed up with pseudoscience. For example, as soon as Eric ‘levitating spinning-top’ Laithwaite was safely dead, a well-known ufologist (and female impersonator) started to circulate lies about Laithwaite having had cozy conversations with aliens in his office. None of that, look you!
As For That Book
August 30, 2020Apologies for the continued delay. One problem is that a more urgent book has taken priority for the moment. Another is that it covers far more nutters than just Ron: others come out of the woodwork every day (even Viv Pope has turned out to be more of a menace than was originally anticipated), and the book has grown from its original 500 pages to a projected limit of 800 (set by the printing company for the present format). A final problem is that it really needs to be vetted by “m’learned friends”, given that some of those targeted may turn litigious. Do not worry about the price, a free copy will find its way to the local public library.
Remiss
August 30, 2020We have been rather busy with real work lately, and have not kept up with flogging the dead donkey. We note that someone has sanitized Ron’s blog; quite forgetting that the original nonsense can still be accessed. Our apologies to correspondents whose comments have not been approved … fixing that now.
Statement of Intent
February 6, 2020As we predicted, AIAS has essentially dried up following the timely death of its main perpetrator. A forthcoming book will nevertheless contain a section which will rubbish its laughable leader and expose the pseudoscientific activities of its members; especially those employed in jobs which presumably require a rational grasp of science. The still-remunerated guilty will envy the safely retired.

Our Nemesis the Nutter
July 28, 2019Our readers may be wondering what we are doing these days. Well, we are being harassed by someone who resembles Ron in that he has an impressive CV but is nevertheless a 24ct crackpot (and is on at least one list of loons). But unlike Ron, he does not even keep up a dignified academic posture. One could be forgiven for thinking that he is a fractious 5-year old who has swallowed a dictionary. One gets the distinct impression that he would like always to write everything in green ink as well as in upper-case. Well, here for your delectation, is a typical example of his output:

Home Truth
July 5, 2019Ron always claimed to do his utmost for Craigcefnparc. We long ago set up a test by which to gauge this concern. We now have ample proof that he never even visited the Wiki page devoted to the village. Or, if he did visit it, he was content to leave untouched a rather negative assessment of some of its residents. On the other hand, perhaps nobody at all visits that page. Well, go look now … and note the date of the Talk comment.
Name-Change
July 4, 2019It seems that the fraudulent Searl Effect Generator is now to be called the Spatial Effect Generator. The fraudster hangers-on are presumably re-positioning themselves in anticipation of Searl’s imminent death. To recapitulate: John Searl, then a coil-winding apprentice in impoverished post-war Britain claimed to have built a levitating perpetual-motion machine which could also cure cancer (thus neatly combining the 3 main crackpot obsessions). It unfortunately flew away through his landlady’s roof. Undaunted, he set about collecting money for its replacement, and did this for decades. Contributors were unfazed by the fact that the only evidence which he offered consisted of obviously-faked flying-saucer photos. Such is the stupidity of his fans that he did not even bother to produce a fake ‘working model’ until one was provided by a Fernando Morris just over a decade ago. At first, it was admitted that the model was being driven. More recent YouTube videos (and there are hundreds of them) allow the viewer to believe that the model is providing the power. Although the entire concept is moronic, it has been gullibly discussed at scientific conferences … by people who have also done contract work for NASA!
Back out of the woodwork, perhaps because of the name-change, is long-time supporter/ conspirator, Dr Terry Moore,
https://www.americanantigravity.com/terry-moore-on-the-searl-effect
Dr Moore (his title is said to be a homoeopathic one) runs the Cat Survival Trust. Many years ago, he was given a full-page photographic spread in a leading UK newspaper. He was pictured holding a ‘big cat’ while sitting on a chair covered in animal-skin print fabric. The ambivalence of this image seemed to go unnoticed by the readers. Perhaps they should have been worried:
https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/opinion-piece-shocking-animal-visit-to-the-cat-survival-trust/
One of the comments on that page suggests that the trust should be reported to the Charity Commission. Having tried it, we have known for years that this would be pointless. The Charity Commission is overworked and toothless. Just look at this:
So, Moore has been collecting charitable donations for some 5 years without having to account for them. A company would have been long struck-off by now. Would it be too naughty of us to suggest that some of the money might be inadvertently finding its way into Moore’s new research work on the Searl Effect?
Notes: ‘Dr Paul Brown’ was a drug-dealer who was killed while illegally motor-racing on a public highway. The Godin and Roschin work was denied ever to have been carried out … by the Director of the research institute in which it supposedly occurred. Moore says that it is unknown why the rotors rotate. In fact, the effect (which is merely surprising and not at all mysterious) was first reported in the mid-19th century by an amateur British experimenter … who eventually earned a Civil List Pension [sic]. However, the more academic crackpots tend to attribute the discovery of the effect to a 20th-century Swiss loony and not to Searl.

Craigcefnparc News #29
June 13, 2019Open-letter from a correspondent
* The promotion of cancer cures by those who are not medically qualified constitutes a crime, I understand.
In Other Nutter-News
June 7, 2019It is well-known that any perpetual-motion crackpot ‘worth his salt’ will also have similar (delusional/criminal) interests in antigravity, cancer-treatment, authorship of Shakespeare’s plays, ‘the paranormal’ and even ‘one-page’ solutions of well-known intractable mathematical problems (Fermat’s last, 4-colour, Goldbach, etc.). And so it was that Randell L.Mills yesterday filed an application for a patent on an antigravity machine. Dr (medicine, not physics … obviously) Mills is better known as the gentleman who, according to that excellent book Voodoo Science, conned $9,000,000 out of US power-supply companies. It is not even a new antigravity machine: it is the same one that he has been hawking around for decades. He seems simply to have changed the theory behind its operation. And even his original idea was plagiarized: it dated back to the early 20th century. But guess who first proposed it (before sobering-up): irony upon irony, it was Robert Goddard, the father of American rocketry. How sad it is that Ron is missing all of this ‘progress’: a few weeks ago, a patent was granted [sic] for a gyroscopic antigravity machine. We once saw an academic paper (currently lost in our extensive files) which claimed that 60% of university physics lecturers do not understand Newton’s third law. And can one really doubt that, given what their spawn in patent offices get up to? Stating it is not the same as understanding it. “A book sits on a table. The opposing force from the table stops the book from falling to the floor. That’s Newton’s third law, right?” Er, no it isn’t!
Thank You Ron

He is a complete scientific nonentity of course. It also goes without saying, but we shall, that he is on at least one list of notorious nutters,

For a sense of scale: just one paper, by one of us, has been read thousands of times by independent researchers … and we do not even approve of ResearchGate. We continue to humour him in the comments, but it really is like ‘shooting fish in a barrel’ to coin a phrase: we mere upholders of bona fide scientific theory versus his ‘ex cathedra‘ evidence-free proclamations that black holes and the Big Bang are nonsense.
Note added 30th June: the comments which he has made reveal Mr Hunt to be a rather peculiar individual, to say the least.

Cut Off at the Knees?
May 15, 2019Myron Evan’s passed away suddenly on the 2nd May 2019 at Morriston Hospital in Swansea following a pulmonary embolism. Myron will be buried, in accordance with his wishes, at Elim Welsh Baptist Chapel in Craig Cefn Parc his home village on Friday 17th May. Myron will be buried, in accordance with his wishes, at Elim Welsh Baptist Chapel in Craig Cefn Parc his home village on Friday 17th May. The service will be at 13.00 hrs UK time. The service will be officiated by Rev Clive Williams. Refreshments will be served afterwards in the vestry of the chapel. All are welcome.
Pulmonary embolisms usually start in the legs. Re-reading his blog, one spots several harbingers (collapse in the street, complaints of ‘cramp’ in the legs). Survival-rates for those who can spot the early warning symptoms top 98%. Perhaps he should have read more and written less.

but it may pull through. No mention of Ron though … never any mention of Ron: the village’s Squire and Lord.
Lists
May 14, 2019I was filled with sadness today when I heard about the death of Myron Evans. I extend my condolences to Myron’s wife, Larissa, his extended family, and his collegues and friends. His passing is a shock, and he will be deeply missed by all.
Myron would have been great at any endeavour he chose to apply himself to. I feel honoured to have worked with him in my limited fashion, on the unification of the laws of physics, a work which will undoubtedly be recorded in history as his legacy. His memory will go along side those of the truly greats such as Newton, Faraday, Einstein, and Tesla, to name a few.
Although Myron will be missed, his work must and will be carried on by those of us that knew him and his works, and those that have yet to come to understand or appreciate his works. I truly hope that we can measure up to the task.
Myron, may God bless your newly chosen path and may God also grant peace and serenity to those who are left behind.
It is with admiration and the highest level of respect that I remain yours sincerely,
Douglas W. Lindstrom
Only a loony individual would put Tesla on the same list as Faraday. Tesla was just a showman and ideas-thief, in the same mould as Edison. He has become the ‘Einstein for crackpots’ in the internet-generation. Similarly, only a scientifically-challenged government – albeit fooled by a conspiracy of pseudoscientists – would put Ron on the same list as Faraday. We sincerely hope however that all of Ron’s acolytes will soon be able to join him in his new work and location. If only Ron had been as inspirational as Marshall Applewhite.

Ratings
May 10, 2019This news is a bolt out of the blue! Myron was the greatest chemical physicist of our time. He has corrected and completed much of Einstein’s work. He has rewritten quantum physics and atomic chemistry and completed and developed Einstein’s fabled ‘theory of everything’.
A first-rate crackpot, praised by a tenth-rate teacher from a third-rate school. A useful tool however for chastising a Royal Society. How on Earth did it construe an anti-Einstein acolyte of a perpetual-motion crackpot to be an ‘unsung hero of science’ and award him a Hauksbee medal, thus somehow managing to insult Newton indirectly at the same time.
As the late Professor John Hart of Xavier University proclamed, ‘Myron’s Einstein-Cartan-Evans unified field theory ls the physics of the new millenium’.
And at Hart’s funeral it was said that his proudest moment was being named ‘Father of the AIAS House’. We can imagine only that he was suffering from dementia at the time.
Myron’s passing is the end of an era.
No, no, there will always be crackpots, and their number will increase as educational standards tumble.
Like famous artists, the value of his work will gain greater recognition with his passing.
We equate ‘modern’ artists with pseudoscientists: they both produce sloppy rubbish which does not represent reality … and weak-minded people claim to see therein something which is not actually there. And, oh, we know someone who is just itching to make sure that Ron gets fully recognized for what he was.
Kerry Pendergast
Self-Confessed Electrical Engineer
May 10, 2019I first became aware of Dr. Myron Evans’ work circa 2003 when I began reading his papers and notes. With only a background in electrical engineering,
That is usually a fancy name for ‘electrician’, but even graduate and doctoral electricians have always been at the forefront of pseudoscience; one only has to recall Laithwaite, Aspden and Valone, just for starters. It seems that, because they use the same nomenclature (electrons, waves, resonance, etc.) as physicists, they somehow imagine that they are physicists … and hilarity ensues.
it was difficult for me to keep up with the content and rapid pace of Myron’s work output. Having an interest in alternative energy technologies, Myron’s energy-from-spacetime concept captured my attention an imagination.
See? Another perpetual-motion moron.
From what I knew about Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (EGR),
Not a lot we guess, and probably gathered from ‘popular’ accounts, fellow loons and the internet.
I had long been discontent with it, mainly because it had limited practical utility.
Yes, it is as useless as gravity isn’t it? But this raises an interesting point concerning the special theory of relativity. The usual popular account goes, “this is what happens at high relative velocities. Very interesting. But you won’t encounter those velocities in your day-job, so forget about it”. Physicists however, have a saying: “electrical engineering is relativity at walking pace”. It is true. Certain apparently mundane gadgets cannot be explained adequately without invoking special relativity. A prime example is the homopolar generator/motor. When electricians try to explain it without relativity, they come to the conclusion that it does not obey Newton’s third law. Hence their willingness to believe in perpetual motion (and antigravity). Many encyclopedias claim that it was the failure of the Michelsom-Morley experiment which inspired relativity theory. Einstein said that it was electromagnetic induction which inspired him. Why, for instance, does one have to use a different argument to explain induction, depending upon whether one moves the coil or the magnet? A good way of winning bets against an electrician is to tell him that static charges must exist at bends in current-carrying wires. He will laugh at the idea … poor sucker.
However, the more I studied Myron’s papers, the more I learned how deficient EGR really is, and how Myron’s ideas (Einstein-Cartan-Evans theory) afforded a genuine advance and dramatic improvement over EGR’s shortcomings.
So now you can use general relativity in your workshop, when it didn’t work for you before?
But Myron’s work also opens up new vistas in physics, offering the possibility for many potential new technologies, and unifying all of physics in a coherent self-consistent way.
Ah, so now you can build that perpetual-motion machine whereas you couldn’t before.
For the last decade-and-a-half, I have always looked forward to waking in the morning and reading Myron’s daily blog postings with his latest theory notes.
So did we; they were always so giggle-provoking.
In addition to the rigorous math calculations and formulations,
How did you know that they were? You are a mere electrician.
Myron often interspersed his posts with history-of-science details, identifying individual scientist’s contributions, from the present going back centuries into the past to elaborate on how ideas were developed. It has been a tremendous learning experience for me and is a great loss not to have available going forward.
You will just have to read wikipedia items for yourself now, rather than read Ron’s paraphrasing of them.
Though circumstance did not permit, I had long wanted to travel to Wales and meet Myron in person. I’m most sad that such an opportunity is no longer possible, but I’m very greatful to have learned from Myron’s writings, emails, and blog posts, and also to have even been welcomed as a participant with the AIAS group in recent years.
But just reflect upon how sad it is that, if he had remained a sane chemist, he might have received memorial comments from reputable academics. Having gone down the pseudoscience rabbit-hole, he gets them only from the lunatic fringe. ‘Tragicomic’ barely covers it.

Not a Patch on Pope!
May 10, 2019We have mentioned several times that the other Swansea-linked pseudoscientist, ‘Professor’ Viv Pope, was treated with far more respect than was Ron by the locals. His ‘letter from Einstein’ is kept in an air-conditioned strong-room at ‘city hall’ (for US readers) and is brought out with all of the reverence similarly accorded to the hundreds of disciples’ finger-bones around the world. But even we had not realized until today just how far that religious adoration went. Clearly, when it comes to sarcasm, we just cannot keep up with reality:

Appeal for Witnesses
May 9, 2019As Ron appears to be in limbo,
we would appreciate an eye-witness account of the funeral. Who, if anyone, turned up? Is he perhaps on ice, waiting for Mrs Ron to turn up? Has the house been secured? After all, it contains £5,000,000 worth of scrap paper.

May 9, 2019Memorial Comments (included with permission)
Steve Banister[sic]
Colleagues,
I first became aware of Myron over a decade ago as I was doing one of my periodic searches for solutions to the huge unsettled physics questions—unifying gravity and the rest, for example. Myron claimed to have done it with the GCUFT. I read, and though my maths were not quite sufficient at the time, what I did know seemed to support the theory making sense.
No wonder that our economies are in such a mess when economists do not understand immutable laws of physics and fall for the blandishments of street-level confidence-tricksters. But, of course, that is what keeps the latter ‘in the game’: they know that the ‘bean-counters’ who (like scum in stew) always rise to the top of science-based enterprises can always be fooled, even if their employees cannot (viz. the ‘sniffer-plane’ scandal). That is why NASA has flirted with antigravity (Podkletnov, Fetta) and perpetual-motion (LENR) crackpots. A mere ‘flake’ from NASA’s budget is a life-changing amount to the ‘flakes’ out there.
When he weighed in on unusual energy sources, including Alex Hill’s devices, my attention further focused and confirmed that I wanted to return to the academy and finish my Economics PhD studying energy and economic growth. Thank you, Myron, for that.
But will society be thankful for an economist who has a simpleton’s appreciation of technology? He also seems to have forgotten that Ron was a climate-change denier. All of that new heat coming from spacetime? Tsk tsk.
I eventually decided to approach Myron on mail, and was so rewarded with his warm embrace. That led to attending the conference in Wales and publicly making the commitment to finish learning differential geometry. Doug, remember that one? And so I did.
Differential geometry? Shouldn’t an economist be taking an interest in the gravitational analogy of the Pareto Rule, rather than in antigravity? What about the rocket-fuel analogy of the Black-Scholes equation? What about the societal implications of Prigogine’s theories on dissipative structures?
On that same visit I was sitting in Myron’s dining room before returning to Heathrow and the US. We had been on a nice walk through the drift mines that are so embedded in the Welsh legacy, so I was becoming aware of Myron’s love of history. At the dining table we discussed my dissertation. As I was getting ready to leave, Myron asked me how he could help me finish. I was stunned, and I’ll never forget thinking that I was sitting across from our era’s Einstein and he was offering to help me in my research.
Ho, ho, ho. Somewhat confused there aren’t you? Einstein got everything wrong according to Ron. Is this the best place to insult’s Ron’s belief-system?
I sat speechless for a moment, then asked if he would consider being on my committee. He readily agreed, and I couldn’t imagine how fortunate I was, knowing this great man.
Well said: you could only ‘imagine’ it. And were you never upset that he did not read it (rather naughty for an external examiner)? He could not have read it, could he, otherwise he would not have kept claiming that it was about a second industrial revolution to be based upon perpetual-motion machines. Doesn’t such blatant lying bother you? Is it perhaps part of economics, as it is of journalism?
I also remember the delight Myron took in visiting the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea,
Moved from Cardiff in order to make way for a ‘bijou’ yuppie redevelopment. That is how much Wales cares about it. Oh, but they put Techniquest there, thus demonstrating a complete disdain for science. Do they still have a ‘plore’ explaining why ships disappear in the Bermuda triangle … which they seemed to think actually neighboured Bermuda.
“which houses a full-scale working replica of the seminal first steam locomotive of Richard Trevithick. ”
Is that the one which made only one trip … for a bet?
There are many other great exhibits there as well, but I can think of no one invention that epitomizes the effect the Industrial Revolution had on transportation. Myron poured over it’s mechanical parts, pointing out how the thing worked. A physics lesson.
Physics? Ron? Did he also tell you that James Watt invented the steam-engine? One of the biggest lies of ‘popular science’. What did he pour over the mechanical parts? Had he brought his own oil?
“I was so looking forward to visiting this great man again this summer; ”
You were to meet someone else on the way to meet Ron?
I had already begun forming a short list of questions, mainly about the significance of the recent work.
Oh, we can tell you that. Zero.
I was in the final stages of planning the trip when the shocking news arrived. I have been living under a pall of gloom these last days, an essential step, I hope, to healing. Writing these memories and thinking about many others certainly helps.
My department had a faculty meeting Friday. I asked for a moment and announced the news, and started to put it in perspective.
Are you admitting that the others in your department are equally deluded? Of course, if you were that upset, you would have arranged to attend the funeral. Surely an economist knows that some very cheap flights are available.
Myron was the rarest of scientists, a great mind, endless curiosity, and the courage to follow the science where ever it led, irrespective of the personal and professional damages.
Crackpot scientists are indeed thankfully rare.
My colleagues understood this.
We hope so: you do realize don’t you that you are all going to get caught up in a forthcoming exposé of incompetent ‘academics’.
I related Myron’s affinity for our department, and for the University of Utah, largely I think because of his admiration of the scientific courage shown by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons at my university. I will forever remember the importance of pursuing scientific courage.
You still dare to mention those crackpots? On an ‘historical’ note, did you know that they have tracked down the 6 older loony tracts upon which Smith, the dowser, based the Mormon bible? Is that what is wrong with Utah? Do you all think: ‘our very state was born of the machinations of a lying crackpot, we may as well keep up the tradition’?
I will make my trip, visiting Horst in Munich and Kerry in Wales. It will be a very different trip. A sad one, but also an opportunity to remember the greatness of this man. And to think about how to keep his legacy alive and advancing. He was simply the most important scientist of our era; we cannot allow this to lie fallow.
Don’t worry: he will certainly be brought to the attention of the general public.
Gorffwys mewn heddwch, Myron.
Steve
In spite of the above disclosures, do your employers really know about your loony beliefs? We would hate to condemn all economists on the basis of one rotten apple.
LENR Remembers … Patchily

Only 4 messages, and one of them did not even know who Ron was … and after all of the support that he gave to LENR. Even worse, this is the only time that Ron has been mentioned by them, apart from one comment in 2016!
