El Naschie welcomes Egyptian runoff election

The top two vote-getters in the recent Egyptian presidential election were the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi, and Ahmed Shafik, an Egyptian Air Force commander who was briefly Prime Minister at the end of the Mubarak administration. There will be a runoff between these two. In Elwady News, Ahmed Sabri reports that El Naschie is optimistic about Egypt's future being in their hands. Original Arabic or Google's English translation.

محمد النشائي: الجولة الأولى للانتخابات انتصار للشعب المصري
الأحد 27 مايو 2012 - 23:03:53
أحمد صبري

وصف العالم الدكتور محمد النشائي مرشح الرئاسة السابق نتيجة الجولة الأولى من انتخابات الرئاسة بأنها انتصار للشعب المصرى ولجيش مصر، مؤكداً أنه أعظم شعب وأعظم جيش ليس في المنطقة وإنما في العالم أجمع.

ودعا النشائي الشعب المصرى لقبول النتيجة التي عبرت عن إرادة المصريين بصرف النظر عن الفائزين، مؤكداً أن الدكتور محمد مرسي أستاذ جامعي ذو خلق ودين وسوف يقوم بما تتطلبه مصر وشعبها العظيم، كما أن الفريق أحمد شفيق رجل جيش ودولة وسوف يعمل على حماية مصر واستقرارها.

وطالب النشائي الشعب المصري بالتصويت في جولة الإعادة بالطرق الديمقراطية وبإرادة حرة دون انشقاقات أو صراعات أو إملاءات لصالح مصر والمصريين لأن الصراعات لا تخدم سوى الأعداء حتى تأتي النتيجة النهائية معبرة عن إرادة الشعب وثورته العظيمة التي قام بها الشعب وحماها الجيش، حسب وصفه.

Or in English, roughly:
Mohamed El Naschie: First round of the election is a victory for the Egyptian people
Sunday, May 27, 2012 - 23:03:53
Ahmed Sabri

The scientist Dr. Mohamed El Naschie, former presidential candidate, described the result of the first round of presidential elections as a victory for the Egyptian people and the army of Egypt, saying that the people and the army are not only the greatest in the region, but in the whole world.

El Naschie called upon the Egyptian people to accept the outcome, which reflected the will of the Egyptians, regardless of the winners, saying that Dr. Mohamed Morsi, a professor creating religion [?] will do what is required by Egypt and its great people, and Shafik, a man of the army and the state, will work to protect Egypt and her stability.

El Naschie called upon the Egyptian people to vote in the runoff by way of democracy and free will, without splits or conflicts or dictates, in favor of Egypt and the Egyptians, because conflicts only serve Egypt's enemies, until the result comes, finally expressing the will of the people and their great revolution by the people and protected by the army, he said.

Whimsical defense of El Naschie vouchsafed

The furtive author of the following comments visited El Naschie Watch through an anonymous proxy server. He or she points to the admissions-limiting numerus clausus system as evidence of the Great Man's erudition.


Anonymous May 27, 2012 1:52 AM
Sorry Jason you are wrong again. El Naschie said not once but several times that gravity is a consequence of fractal time. The idea was fully accepted for a long time within the framework of Feynman's gravity as a fluctuation. Feynman said it is a fluctuation of something. In several papers together with his friend from the University of Michigan El Naschie reasoned that this something is time. As for El Naschie being an engineer, this is no secret Jason. In fact I find it very arogant [sic] of El Naschie to always emphasizes that he is an engineer and not a physicist. In Egypt as in Germany there is a system called numerus clausus which ensures that only the best students go into engineering and medicine. Lesser students become lawyers or worse still, physicists who will find no job because Egypt has no industry requiring research and development, at least not like in the USA or Japan. I think you are flattering El Naschie when you say he has no degree in either maths or physics. I sincerely do not understand why you concentrated all your efforts for almost a decade on someone simply because he did not study maths or physics. However it is your business. It is a free country and a free internet. Just thought it should be said at least once that your blog is bringing El Naschie a lot of sympathy for being victimized.

Bunch of morons and you need shrinks

You have exposed clearly that you are part of a defamatory campaign against Prof. El Naschie and in the end you will be tried and justice will prevail. Crooks you are and agents as well.


The identity of "his friend from the University of Michigan" is not known to me. The commenter didn't cite any specific papers of El Naschie, but I hope he returns and does so.

It is false that El Naschie "always emphasizes that he is an engineer and not a physicist". His lack of math and physics degrees can be inferred from his boilerplate biographies, but in newspapers and on television he is always introduced most prominently as an "Egyptian physicist nominated several times for the Nobel Prize", or as a "nanotechnology scientist", or as a "nuclear scientist", all of which are fanciful, purely imaginary qualifications, insofar as they apply to El Naschie.

We do not concentrate our efforts on El Naschie "simply because he did not study maths or physics" but because he pretends to be a scientist -- indeed a scientist who deserves the Nobel Prize several times over, but was denied it by operatives in Tel Aviv, because he is an Arab, a Muslim, named Mohamed, and carries an Egyptian passport.

El Naschie did not study engineering in Egypt so no credit is due him for surmounting associated numerus clausus in that country. He got his PhD in civil or structural engineering in Britain, which has no numerus clausus. If a foreign student can pay the tuition, it is not terribly difficult for him to enter a German university to earn an undergraduate degree in civil engineering (an honorable profession, but frankly the bottom rung of the engineering ladder), as El Naschie did.

This blog has existed for three and a half years, not "almost a decade".

El Naschie writes ridiculous numerological nonsense papers. Anyone defending his physics is a fool. He can't publish anymore, since Elsevier fired him as Editor-in-Chief of Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. He can't pass peer review. His scorn in Mrs. Justice Sharp's court for "the childish, vain practice of peer review" was a tacit admission.

This commenter is probably Amr Elnashai, a.k.a. Scorpion300; or El Naschie himself. Whoever he is, he is welcome, and we hope he returns for more discussion.

In other news, Inforrm's Blog in Law and Media Round Up – 28 May 2012 confirms that the El Naschie v Nature verdict expected months ago from Mrs. Justice Sharp remains outstanding.

UPDATE. Shrink points to J. P. Krisch and E. N. Glass, Dimension in a Radiative Stellar Atmosphere, General Relativity and Gravitation, Volume 33, Number 9 (2001), 1449-1458, DOI: 10.1023/A:1012232608703.
Krisch and Glass
This is undoubtedly what Anonymous referred to. Note from the front page "KEY WORDS: Spacetime dimensions; fractals; Kaluza-Klein" and on page 8 a reference to "the Cantorian spacetime model described by El Naschie [26]".

Kook blog cites "mathematician El Naschie"

Apple of Perception by Joseph Venné is new to me. The loon Dan Winter, who we have written about before, features prominently in the discussion there.

El Naschie's "Golden Quantum Field Theory" is mentioned, and the great man is misquoted as saying that his theory is "evidence that fractality is the cause of gravity". El Naschie has said many idiotic things, but that particular idiotic thing isn't one of them, to the best of our knowledge.

El Naschie is not a mathematician. He has no degree in math or physics, even at the undergraduate level.

Impact and Meaningless Rankings

The Network for Irish Educational Standards blog has a post out today called Stifling Discovery: Science Foundation Ireland’s New Mission and the Jobs Myth. The paragraph that interests us is the following:

Take the recent example of the Times Higher Education rankings scandal. Under the heading of “research impact” the virtually unknown Alexandria University of Egypt was placed fourth in the world — behind only Caltech, M.I.T. and Princeton, and ahead of both Harvard and Stanford. As it turned out, this remarkable achievement was down to the tireless work of one researcher Mohamed El Naschie, who managed to publish 320 papers in a journal that he edited himself.

Video: El Naschie on MediaMasr.tv

This 2:56 snippet is clearly part of a longer interview.


The title is

النشائي غلطه الشعب المصري استبعاد عمر سليمان

which means "El Naschie says it's a mistake for the Egyptian people to exclude Omar Suleiman", referring to the ex spy chief under President Hosni Mubarak. The Elections Commission didn't allow Suleiman to run for president in the upcoming election because he narrowly missed obtaining enough signatures before the deadline.

In the comments, a reader pointed out English libel reform to bring peer-review protection. Also on the Nature.com website, in the same vein, there has appeared Honest opinions: Proposals for a UK law on defamation highlight the power of scientific protest. They say

Nature officially backed the [English libel reform] campaign, and, as this issue went to press, still awaits the verdict of a libel suit brought against this journal by Egyptian researcher Mohamed El Naschie.

It would have been more accurate to call him "Egyptian pseudoscientist Mohamed El Naschie".

El Naschie was Nobel candidate FOUR TIMES

Al-Mashhad has another report on El Naschie's dog and pony show at the Pioneers Club. We are amused to read that El Naschie was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics no fewer than four times. This outlandish claim we at El Naschie Watch have never heard before. We are confused as to why his make-believe nominations for the Nobel Prize are evidence of deep scholarship, while Ahmed Zewail's actual Nobel Prize is like cosmetics and beauty accessories. Original Arabic or Google's English translation. We have the whole report below the fold.


"النشائي": الإعلام يحاول تضليل الشعب.. والهجوم على "الدفاع" أسوأ ما أفرزته الثورة
الشرقية - شيرين الفقى

اتهم الدكتور محمد النشائي، العالم المصري والمرشح لجائزة نوبل في الفيزياء أربع مرات، جهات إعلامية بمحاولة تضليل الشعب وافتعال المشاكل وتمكنوا من تشكيل عصابات وصلت لحد الإجرام هدفها هدم البلاد، موضحا أن الهجوم على وزارة الدفاع الأسبوع الماضي هو أسوأ ما أفرزته الثورة التي قامت من أجل الحرية والديمقراطية.

وأكد أن الظهور البازغ للجماعات الإسلامية هو خراب لمصر لأنهم ليس لديهم خبرة سياسية كافية للتعامل مع الشعب ومع دول العالم.

واعتبر العالم المصري أن ظهور التيارات الإسلامية مفيد لإسرائيل حيث إنها سوف ترسل رسالات للعالم بأنها الدولة الديمقراطية الوحيدة في الشرق الأوسط وأنها صاحبة السلام ولكنها لم تستطع تحقيقه إلا بآلة الحرب مع العرب غير الجادين للسلام، مؤكدا أن الحرب مع إسرائيل سوف تكون بدعم أمريكي ضد مصر والعرب.

وأضاف خلال لقائه بأعضاء نادي الرواد بالعاشر من رمضان في حضور محمد أبو العينين رئيس مجلس إدارة نادي الرواد، أن الأحزاب والتيارات السياسية والشعبية على قناعة بأنه من الأفضل أن يتم تأجيل الانتخابات الرئاسية بسبب سوء الأوضاع الحالية وان كثرة الدعاية الانتخابية لمرشحي الرئاسة شيء مزعج.

"El Naschie": the media is trying to mislead people .. And the attack on "defense" is the worst thing demonstrated by the revolution
East - Shirin Fiki

Dr. Mohamed El Naschie, an Egyptian scientist and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics four times, accused some in the media of trying to mislead people and fabricating problems and were able to form gangs and reached the curb crime aimed at the demolition of the country, adding that the attack on the Ministry of Defense last week is the worst thing was produced by the revolution for freedom and democracy.

He stressed that the appearance of the emerging Islamic groups is the ruin of Egypt because they do not have enough political experience to deal with people and with the world.

The Egyptian scientist considered that the emergence of Islamic movements is beneficial to Israel, which will send messages to the world portraying itself as the only democracy in the Middle East and as the author of peace but could not be achieved only machine of war with the Arabs is not serious for peace, stressing that the war with Israel will be supported by U.S. against Egypt and the Arabs .

He said during his meeting with members of the Tenth of Ramadan Pioneers Club in the presence of Mohamed Abul-Enein, Chairman of the club leaders, parties and political movements and popular on the conviction that it would be better to postpone the presidential elections due to poor current conditions and the large number of electoral propaganda for presidential candidates is something annoying.

بالصور.. النشائي: الأحزاب الإسلامية "خراب" لمصر
الجمعة 11.05.2012 - 03:28 ص
كتب - محمود دربالة

أكد الدكتور محمد النشائي العالم المصري والحاصل على جائزة نوبل في الفيزياء أن الرئيس السابق مبارك تعرض لظلم وكان هناك تعمد في تدمير تاريخه العسكري والرئاسي وأن السبب الرئيسي في ذلك معاونيه الذين لم يكونوا على قدر المسئولية وتحمل الأمانة في نقل التقارير للرئيس.

وأشار إلى أنه واجه العديد من المشكلات مع المسئولين في مصر عندما قدم اقتراحًا بإنشاء هيئة للنانوتكنولوجي وتم التعمد في هدم المشروع وعندما علم جمال مبارك بالمشروع طلب مقابلتي ووجدت انه انسان محترم وعاملني كانني بن الرئيس وأمر بتنفيذ المشروع وعرض على ان اكون مستشارًا علميًا ورفضت لعدم اهتمام الدولة بالعلم والعلماء.

وأكد النشائى خلال لقائه بأعضاء نادي الرواد بالعاشر من رمضان بحضور محمد أبو العينين رئيس مجلس إدارة نادي الرواد والمهندسة منى غانم عضو مجلس إدارة نادي الرواد أن المجلس العسكري تحمل الكثير من المعاناة في لم شمل البلاد وبالرغم من عدم اشتغاله بالسياسة إلا أنه أثبت قدرته في إدارة البلاد ومواجهة المشكلات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية قدر المستطاع، لافتًا إلى أن جهات إعلامية تحاول تضليل الشعب وافتعال المشكلات من تشكيل عصابات وصلت لحد الإجرام وهدفها هدم البلاد وان ما حدث الأسبوع الماضي من بعض الأشخاص غير المسئولين بهجومهم على وزارة الدفاع هو اقذر ما افرزته الثورة التي قامت من اجل الحرية والديمقراطية وانه يجب على جميع التيارات التي تسعى إلى السلطة ان تتقي الله في مصر وتتكاتف من اجل النهوض والتنمية لمصر، لاننا بمرحلة في غاية الخطورة سوف تأكل الاخضر واليابس مشيرًا إلى أنه بالرغم من تصميم المجلس العسكري على إجراء الانتخابات الرئاسية في موعدها إلا انه من الافضل ان تكون جميع الاحزاب والتيارات السياسية والشعبية على قناعة بأنه من الافضل ان يتم تأجيل الانتخابات الرئاسية بسبب سوء الأوضاع الحالية وان كثرة الدعاية الانتخابية لمرشحي الرئاسة شيء مزعج ومهزلة.

وأضاف النشائي أن الظهور البازغ للجماعات الإسلامية هو خراب لمصر، لأنهم ليس لديهم خبرة سياسية كافية للتعامل مع الشعب ومع دول العالم وان ظهورهم مفيد لإسرائيل التي تدعي السلام ولكنها تسعى إلى الحرب لقوتها ومساندة امريكا لها.

وقال ان الجماعات الإسلامية لا تنفي ذلك كما أنها اثبتت فشلها في الاهتمام ببعض القضايا اضافة إلى الوضع السيء لمجلس الشعب الذي لم يقدم أي شيء ملموس يشعر به المواطن المصري الذي يتعرض لظلم بين على مدى التاريخ، فآن الأوان لاسترداد بعض الحقوق الطبيعية التي يتمتع بها جميع شعوب العالم.

ووجة العالم محمد النشائى رسالة للإعلام قائلاً: "لا تخلطوا العلم بالسياسة حتى يستطيع الشعب تحديد اتجاهاته في المرحلة المقبلة".

لان الإعلام تسبب في افتعال الكثير من المشكلات الاحتجاجية والفئوية لأبناء مصر معتقدًا بأن بذلك يحقق انتصارًا إعلاميًا.

The machine translation isn't good but it gives the meaning. Interesting parts are green.

El Naschie: Islamist parties the "ruin" of Egypt
Friday 11.05.2012 - 3:28
Books - Mahmoud Derbala

Dr. Mohamed El Naschie Egyptian scientist and Nobel laureate in physics [Oh, no. Now they're not even saying "nominated".] said that former President Mubarak subjected him to injustice [ROTFLMAO] and there was baptized in the destruction of its history of military and presidential and that the main reason that his aides who were not up to the responsibility and bear the Secretariat in the transfer of reports to the president.

He pointed out that he has encountered many problems with officials in Egypt when he presented a proposal to establish a body of Nanotechnology was deliberate demolition of the project and when he learned of the project Gamal Mubarak requested to meet me and I found him a decent human being and he treated me like I bin President ordered the implementation of the project and offered to be a scientific consultant and rejected for lack of interest in the state science and scientists.

El Naschie during a meeting with members of the Pioneers Club in Tenth of Ramadan City was attended by Mohammed Abou El-Enein, Chairman of Pioneers Club and engineered Mona Ghanem, board member of the club leaders that the military junta carry a lot of suffering in the reunification of the country, although not joining politics but he has proven his ability in the management of the country and meet the economic and social problems as much as possible, pointing out that the points of media attempting to mislead the people and fabricating problems of the formation of gangs and arrived reduce crime and its destruction of the country and that what happened last week from some people who are not officials of their attack on the Ministry of Defence is the dirtiest what set apart by the revolution that has for freedom and democracy and that he must at all currents, which seeks to power that the fear of God in Egypt and join hands for the advancement and development of Egypt, as we phase in a very serious will eat everything and everybody pointing out that although the design of the military junta to hold elections on time, but it is better to All parties and political movements and popular on the conviction that it is better to postpone the presidential election because of poor conditions and the large number of the current election campaign for the presidential candidates and the annoying thing a farce.

He added that appearing Naschie's burgeoning Islamist groups is the ruin of Egypt, because they do not have enough political experience to deal with the people of the world and with their backs and that is beneficial to Israel, which claims to seek peace but wants war with America's strength and support.

He said that the Islamic groups do not deny that as they have failed in attention to some issues in addition to the bad situation of parliament who did not provide anything tangible felt by the Egyptian citizen who is being subjected to injustice throughout history, the time to recover some of the natural rights enjoyed by all peoples of the the world.

The face of the scientist Mohamed El Naschie a message to the media, saying: "Do not confuse science and politics so that people can identify trends in the next phase."

Because the media has caused a lot of fabricating problems, factional protest for the people of Egypt believed that the media do to achieve victory.

Egyptian media catching on to El Naschie!

This 8 May 2012 interview of the great man by Ahmed Sakr was written up by Samar Fathi for publication in Al Maydan. Original Arabic or Google's English translation.

El Naschie steps up his shrill attacks on Nobel Prize winning chemist Ahmed Zewail and his Zewail City of Science and Technology.

The article begins with a ludicrous biography of El Naschie. The familiar hilarious claim that China honored him as one of the three top minds in the history of science along with Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein is there. So is his bogus claim of affiliation with the Solvay Institute in Belgium.

El Naschie's main points:
  • Zewail is a cheat.
  • Zewail City is all illusion, fraud and quackery.
  • The powerful media lobby backs Zewail.
  • Zewail's Nobel Prize is like women's beauty accessories or cosmetics.
  • Egypt should join the nuclear club.
  • Zewail is avoiding a debate with El Naschie.
  • Dream TV and the newspapers Sunrise (Shorouk) and Egyptian Today (Almasry Alyoum) have blacklisted El Naschie. [!!!]

This is the first El Naschie Watch has heard about El Naschie being blacklisted! It sounds like at least some besides Khairy Ramadan in Egypt's media have figured out that El Naschie is not who he pretends to be. Dream TV, by the way, is home to the well-known journalist Mona el-Shazly who El Naschie Watch believes has figured out that El Naschie is a fraud.

Video: El Naschie on Alrahma TV channel

There's not much happening in the El Naschie Watch world. We are waiting of course for the torpid Mrs. Justice Sharp to shake off her hangover and deliver the final verdict on the El Naschie v Nature case. We expect her to cuff his ears. All we have to offer at the moment is a video from February 21, 2012. There were a lot of El Naschie videos coming out around that time and we overlooked this one somehow. This video of length 57:54 appeared on the religiously oriented Alrahma TV channel. It's in Arabic without subtitles. The host Ihab Nafie is credulous of El Naschie's expertise as a scientist.

More about the Scott Olsen book

Scott Olsen is a member of the infamous E-Infinity group. We have written about him before in Scott Olsen podcast interview on the golden ratio and Twaddle from E-infinity group member Scott Olsen. The latter post contained an extract from Olsen's book provided by Amazon.com. Now Google Books has a similar page about it.

Under the section "References to this book from Google Scholar" five references are given. All are from El Naschie's erstwhile vanity journal Chaos, Solitons and Fractals.

There are reader reviews, mostly positive and inane. My favorites are this critical one from J.R.,

It's a pretty book and starts out with simple explanations of the math. Then it goes on to find the golden ration everywhere. Even where it's not.

and this rave from Jess, who thinks the book was about another number altogether.

this 'wooden books' series is really great. big ideas, small books. i learned why Pi is one of the most elegant ratios in the universe.

Here's the part of the book that's visible in the preview rolled up into a PDF: Phi

Video! El Naschie pretends to be a scientist

In Arabic without subtitles. This high-quality video of length 4:59 was uploaded just today by Youm7News. It shows El Naschie speaking at a news conference on the Seventh Day news channel. The title is النشائي ينضم رسميا لغد الثورة ويعين خبير خبراء البحث العلمي which means something like "El Naschie officially joins the Revolution Tomorrow party as Expert of Scientific Research".

The Revolution Tomorrow (Ghad El-Thawra) party is headed by Ayman Nour, who El Naschie mentions several times.

This is surprising, because El Naschie's estranged black sheep brother Said Elnashaie had an important post in that party last I heard, and they were not getting along at all. Also because Nour and his party are hostile to Mubarak regime remnants, in contrast with El Naschie who supported Mubarak's spy chief Omar Suleiman when his own presidential candidacy fell apart. El Naschie even advocated awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Mubarak. Whether Nour is unaware of El Naschie's background, or just doesn't care, it's all quite strange.

Ayman Nour appears to believe El Naschie is a real scientist. This does not reflect well on his judgment.

Upcoming conferences

Jot these down in your appointment book.

As we noted recently in 4th Symposium on Nonlinear Crackpottery, Ji-Huan He's 4th International Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics will be held on October 27 to 30, 2012 in Suzhou, China.

Today I found in my inbox an invitation to a conference sponsored by the International Foundation for Modern Education and Scientific Research (INFOMESR) to be held in Cairo, Egypt from 23 to 27 December 2012. (The MESR part of the acronym is cooked up to sound like the Arabic word for Egypt.) There is so far no information on INFOMESR attendees. Perhaps this is a serious conference, I don't know.

Shrink directs our attention to the Nostradamus Conference to be held 5 to 7 September 2012 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Why anyone would name a serious scientific conference after Nostradamus is a mystery.

The notorious black-hole apocalypse scaremonger Otto E. Rössler, in collaboration with Ali Sanayei, will be giving an invited talk there:

Topic: The Conservative Revolution in Physics: Thermodynamics no longer Alone as Fundamental Classical Discipline

Abstract

Rudolf Clausius formulated the fundamental notions of entropy and the virial in deterministic statistical mechanics. As it turns out, deterministic statistical mechanics is twice as big as this was believed for 150 years. Thermodynamics is only half of the ticket. The second half - known in bits and pieces since 1929 - was recently called "cryodynamics" (with cryós, cold replacing thermós, hot). The latter deterministic discipline likewise allows for a deterministic entropy S, governed by the same formula as valid in deterministic statistical thermodynamics. Only that S is here strictly decreasing rather than strictly increasing. Both disciplines, taken together for the first time, allow for an eternal non-time-directed universe, without visible creation and annihilation event. The "road to reality" (a phrase due to R. Penrose) suddenly is much more convincing. The next task is to complement the decisive numerical work, done on two particles in formally one dimension in a PhD thesis by K. Sonnleitner in 2010, by a richer set of examples. The fundamental work of Hans H. Diebner (time-dependent entropy equation described and tested on 100 particles in 1998) will be a decisive instrument. While it is tempting to look at cosmology in the new context, this temptation does not need to be followed before the new combined discipline has been established in its own right in its full extension. Nevertheless it is already allowed, of course, to think also of implications that will hopefully allow one to stabilize the ITER project (and others) of hot fusion. The fact that the theory employed up until now has been only a "half theory" will predictably improve performance after the repair of this defect.

So far, no grant agency has shown interest. But it is with pleasure that we recall a friendly if waiting response from the Solvay Foundation in 2004. Ilya Prigogine was a good friend of one of the authors and provided encouragement to the first - still groping - publication in 2003. For J.O.R.


Notice the focus on cryodynamics and the Sonnleitner thesis. We looked at those recently in A thesis under Otto Rössler's supervision. Rössler also promotes what he calls "the fundamental work of Hans H. Diebner" whom we looked at some time ago in Otto E. Rössler's student Hans H. Diebner. Rössler says that El Naschie's "teacher", Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine, was his good friend and encouraged this line of investigation.

Another invited speaker, Oldřich Zmeškal, in a talk called "Entropy of Fractal Systems", seems hell-bent on discrediting himself by connecting his work with the Golden Mean and El Naschie's E-infinity theory.

The Selected Papers page shows several books and journals where the proceedings will be published. Amazingly, the Elsevier journal Computers and Mathematics with Applications (CMA), which just fired its old editor-in-chief for publishing nonsense papers, is scheduled to publish some of this new nonsense. Does the new editor-in-chief, Leszek Demkowicz, know about this? Let's see whether CMA disappears from that page.

Not content to let Elsevier enjoy all the ignominy, Springer is joining the masochistic orgy of nonsense-publishing.

Elsevier FAIL


Thanks to the reader who pointed to M. Sivasubramanian and S. Kalimuthu, Computer application in mathematics, Comput. Math. Appl., Vol. 59 No.1 (2009), pp. 296–297. It is embedded below the fold.


Elsevier FAIL

This resulted in Elsevier firing Editor-in-Chief Ervin Y. Rodin, with whom we have had dealings documented in Email to Ervin Y. Rodin and CMA Editorial Board, Ji-Huan He loses a third editorial position and CMA special issue edited by Ji-Huan He!. Elsevier has replaced Rodin with Leszek Demkowicz.

Elsevier, adding insult to the injury it does to its long-suffering customers, wants you to pay US $39.95 to see the full text of the retraction.

Retraction Watch has a funny article about the fiasco: Math paper retracted because it “contains no scientific content”.

Douglas N. Arnold mentions this dreadful paper in a blog post.

CMA is number 23 on our Master list of Ji-Huan He's editorial positions.

A claim to have attended Rössler's lectures

On Otto's April 15 post I would be Grateful to Be Allowed to Speak at the CERN-Lifeboat Conference, which has attracted 29 comments, one comment is causing much consternation:


adsfsadg on April 17, 2012 1:38 am
out of curiosity, i last year went into rösslers lectures. I found a small group of jounger scientific staff from the chemistry department, and older academicstaff members from tübingen. I also found some older curious guests. All those united that they had a huge lack of physics, which implied that they could not figure out themselves whether rössler was either talking something wrong or right. Unfortunately, it was wrong, but they did not notice. They did not question what rössler said. I felt like i would be among the followers of some sect with their priest. Rössler was talking on his crackpot stuff in relativity which was rejected by experts for years. He also was talking nonsense on various solutions of einstein’s equations. Any relativist who would go there, would probably not return since he would die from a heart attack because of so many errors. And well, rösser often implicitely made clear that he would favor it if the scientists who refused his wrong thesis were threatened violently. However, he did not say “lets kill someone” or something. He made it more subtle. Telling that no one would listen to him but that the scientists at cern and golm must be somehow “forced” to accept his theses. He also said that he does not see any peaceful way to achive this and that this would make it necessary to employ “unorthodox” methods of presure on the scientists at golm and mpi. I honestly think that the relativity staff at tübingen should immediately visit his lectures. Perhaps then, they will recognize that rössler should be forbidden to hold lectures at Tübingen. He only confuses his listeners with anecdotes and wrong stuff. There was almost no correct thing on physics that he said. For example, all the equations he wrote on the blackboard where mathematically invalid, or wrong. I never have seen so much wrong stuff to be thaught in a lecture room of an university.


Thanks to the anonymous reader who pointed this out.

Also causing much strife is erwtreg's incitement to murder which we noted in this comment. Lifeboat administrator Tom Kerwick, who has been culling Otto's posts vigorously, takes it as sarcastic or humorous.

El Naschie on Omar Suleiman and Ahmed Zewail

In Elgomma, El Naschie is quoted as saying the Supreme Committee's exclusion of several candidates is unjust. He doesn't support Hazem Salah Abu Ismail or el Shater, but thinks they were wrongly excluded. He is particularly upset about the disqualification of Omar Suleiman, whom he still supports. He says Suleiman's exclusion is "a plot by the remnants of the Mubarak regime", which is a bizarre thing to say, because Suleiman was Mubarak's intelligence chief. Original Arabic or Google's English translation.


With his presidential run scuttled, El Naschie needs a new way to call attention to himself, so he's returned to the old standby of attacking Nobel Prize winning chemist Ahmed Zewail. He has a column in Al Ahram today. Original Arabic زويل في البرلمان or Google's English translation Zewail in Parliament. He's throwing mud like crazy and hoping something sticks. The litany:

  • Zewail shouldn't be collecting donations from the Egyptian people for his project in such difficult economic times.
  • Zewail City of Science and Technology won't provide any benefits to Egypt.
  • It's outrageous it's named after Zewail, who is egotistical.
  • It's outrageous Zewail went to Israel to accept the Wolf Prize.
  • Zewail is assisted by the huge media lobby.
  • Because he got the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Zewail thinks he's an expert on everything.
  • Zewail City undermines University of the Nile.
  • Zewail cynically courts Islamic Brotherhood parliamentary figures to obtain funds, but Zewail is secular to the core. El Naschie on the other hand admires the Salafists, especially member of parliament Mamdouh Ismail, who has the courage not to tremble before the word "Nobel Prize".

El Naschie wraps it up with a demand to debate Zewail on TV or before the Parliament, so that the public can better decide the merits of Zewail City of Science and Technology.

Part of the purpose of El Naschie's presidential run is now clear. His improved name recognition makes it easier to get columns published in major newspapers like Al Ahram.

Abdul-Samad backs Hazem Abu Ismail

Zahy notes in a comment that El Naschie's ex campaign manager Mohammed Abdul-Samad has endorsed the Salafist candidate Hazem Abu Ismail, according to Abdul-Samad's Facebook page.


Ismail would restrict alcohol consumption to private residences, close gambling casinos, and ban bikinis. He has gained notoriety in the West with his praise of Osama bin Laden:


As it happens, Ismail has just been disqualified by Egypt's ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) as a candidate because his mother has a US passport. There are 48 hours for Ismail to appeal the ruling. If he fails, Abdul-Samad will have to make another choice.

A thesis under Otto Rössler's supervision

And Rössler's grandiose paper about it.


Sonnleitner Dissertation

If you look at the last page of this Universität Tübingen thesis you'll see that Otto was the thesis supervisor. From the second page you will find that the oral qualifying exam was given on 8 December 2010. In attendance were Otto; the Dean, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rosenstiel; and Prof. Dr. Nils Schopohl.

My purpose here isn't to beat up on the new Dr. Sonnleitner, who, with an advisor like Otto, has enough problems. But I did want to confirm that as an anonymous commenter said,

They do not care. They give him lecture halls, let him supervise phd theses, and it just does not interest them whether he is teaching something right or wrong.

which was in response to Peter Howell who said

It still puzzles me that the University of Tuebingen still let him teach his crap and use its name in public. I tried to have a discussion with the dean of the chemistry department on this, but he basically told me that they don't care anymore. I just cannot believe that.

And I wanted to point to a Vol. 20, No. 2, 2011 paper by Rössler in Complex Systems, a journal I am not famiar with, but it does have good people on the Editorial Board. Presumably submissions are peer reviewed. They say "Papers submitted to Complex Systems should present results in a manner accessible to a wide readership."

Rössler on Cryodynamics

The first and main reference in Otto's paper is to Sonnleitner's dissertation. The Introduction says

A never-before observed type of dynamical behavior—anti-dissipation in the forward direction of time—was numerically discovered recently [1].

If that's not grandiose enough, the Abstract begins

A new science called cryodynamics is proposed as a physical discipline as fundamental as thermodynamics.

We learn in Section 9 that

Cryodynamics is such a major addition to physics that “almost everything” appears to be in need of an overhaul in its wake...

Of course it is a great honor to be mentioned in such an important paper:

This paper is dedicated to Roger Penrose on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

If Otto really believes Sonnleitner's thesis is so important, why wasn't he included as a coauthor?

Why are Otto's colleagues at University of Tuebingen allowing him to supervise dissertations, and even sitting on his thesis committees?

And how did this bloviation get published?

Arnold and Cohn on boycotting Elsevier

The authors cannot resist quoting El Naschie's famous testimony in Mrs. Sharp's courtroom, to wit

senior people are above this childish, vain practice of peer review



Arnold and Cohn

Thanks to Slipper.Mystery for pointing this out.

Speaking of Mrs. Sharp I am appalled at how long she is taking on what should be a straightforward kicking of El Naschie to the curb. Note that the above quote undermines Paragraph 4 Section i of the earlier summary by Mr. Justice Eady, saying

It is the Claimant's [i.e., El Naschie's] case that the offending article bore the following natural and ordinary meanings:

i) The Claimant has improperly misused his editorial privileges as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, in order to self-publish numerous papers he had written, which would not have been published elsewhere as they were of poor quality and had received no, or very poor, peer-review, thereby creating a falsely high rate of citation for his own work and a falsely high impact factor for the journal which he edited; and/or...

El Naschie was further undermined by the testimony of his friend Otto Rössler, who told the court that peer review was an impediment to the publishing of important new ideas like El Naschie's.
