I just discovered a new crackpot preprint that pretends to
derive Maxwell's equations from something very similar
to strings:

Why do such idiots put so much work into this?

Christoph Schiller is hardly a crackpot nor an idiot. The web page is
clearly labelled "A Speculation". His free physics text book is quite
good. Quite frankly, I personally enjoy his speculations as they are
usually more understandable than the speculations of other physicists.
His maximum force speculation is also quite good if you haven't read it.
But thanks for posting the link; I'm off to read it now.

I especially like his "unitary" theory that comes out of "featureless

Lubos Motl has clearly defined what makes a crackpot:
somebody who likes discrete models, who believes
in the generalized uncertainty principle, who believes that
space-time is not continuous, and who dislikes string theory.
The author qualifies on all points.

When I reloaded his page to go through Motls list, I found
out that Schiller even qualifies as an Einstein crackpot;
he has added a second preprint, even more crazy than
the first. He is a crackpot.

Some seem to think a Crack Pot is anyone that disagrees with their
concepts of reality..

It is a human rights violation to label people you don't know.

Those who like these troll games are generally abusing human rights
and are relentless addicts of supremacy and Bush KKK. Human rights
does not allow as these things are like jews and nazis. No educated
person would approach another with labels and discrimination and hate
crime, but this world is sick with cold rogue people and politics and
those with desire to be terrorists. I don't think human rights mean
much to you nazis.

Fascists must categorically label, torture and win using big brother
means
of State vs. man and intelligence. Much power, no mother, just the
motherland.
Fuck you and your Google, rogue nazi, alien.

sound like something out of nothing?   His "spring-like" helical
photons that split apart to go through both slits of a double slit is
interesting but doesn't address the fact that a detector placed over
the slits will detect the whole photon going through only ONE slit at
a time.

Oh yeah, gb just reminded me that there actually IS such a thing as
"true" crackpots as well!
Hey, gb, I urge your to go read a freshman text on political
science...
