The huffington is HN related right? Maybe OP linked as a satirical commentary on their content policy?
I do sort of dislike that there's no good way to include commentary along with a link. But I don't think "Look at this piece of trash that HuffPo posted" would be particularly great HN content, either.
- there is serious evidence of crackpottery, as evidenced by other contributors
- there is little evidence of good science, as evidenced by other contributors
- there is little evidence of good review (either of content or of prose), as evidenced by other contributors
- in the absence of all of those, one would fall back on the credentials of the author, which seem to be minimal
- Super Physics for Super Technologies is self-published (via Amazon CreateSpace)
- the forum seems very bizarre for this subject
I don't think this article is worth HN readers' time to read and consider, and I'd taken its presence on the front page as an endorsement by the community. I want my time back.
