Default Theory of Confusion

I see we are still getting this:



The sample chapter is curious, takes forever to say anything then when it
does say something it confuses force with work/energy and/or power?

Also it seeks to refute Newtonian gravity by claiming that it violates the
principle of conservation of energy (same mistake as above really), but
as conservation of energy in this case is a consequence of Newtonian
mechanics, you would have thought the Newton might have noticed.

"The bestselling book our scientists hope you never read."

That's actually quite accurate. Because I suspect if people read it, our scientists would be VERY busy trying to correct the misconceptions it introduces!

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert
