  I dunno, the “path to ruin” looks pretty profitable…

  And this is how you get a positive crackpot index.

  Though I’ve known legit physicists and engineers take pride in there >0 CI.

    I feel like it’s all gotta be from #8 right? It makes it pretty easy to get >0 legitimately, seems like it would be hard for anyone working on black holes to not have a double digit score from that alone.

    Though I could see some cheeky positive values from #13, assuming the theory is a well established one, Randi style. (Or #20 for the typo)

      If any paper contains these misspellings of Feynman, Einstein or Hawking I would consider them at best sloppy writers.

  I’m sure Randall Munroe knows this better than most, but Einstein’s insight more derailed physics than overturned it. What I mean is that the path it seemed like physics was on at the time was torn out from under the establishment. But it’s not like the work done to that point was discarded.
