Is he for real, or is he a quack?
Interested to hear from those in the engineering/mathematical field especially, since I'm no good at either Kam

I'm gonna have to go with 'real quack'.
There's one amateur or hobbyist math guy I know of ... I mean I don't know him personally, but I know of him ... who has been sending letters and postcards, one a day, to someone at my place of employment. In these cards / letters, the sender purports to explain his own revolutionary system of math This has been going on for years. My friend was sick and tired of receiving these ravings so I said, hey, don't throw them out just give them to me. So I collected them for a month or so just to see what this was about. Then I gave up on them as well. It was nutty stuff, I tell you. It is hard to believe anyone has the time and energy to write so many involved letters over such a long period of time. I'm gonna have to guess that some form of mental illness is involved.

I found a video on YouTube, but haven't had a chance to view it; maybe later today.
However, based on the commentary that I skimmed, I'd say that quack has the edge in this race. There's not much that's revolutionary in math today that a) doesn't involve an incredible level of abstraction, and b) can be explained to a layman without three years of background. Frankly, if this guy (or balducci's guy) were that good at math, I'd expect him to be solving one of the Millennium Prize Problems; at least there's a USD 1,000,000 payoff at the end. |
