The Crackpot Index. John Baez. A simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to physics: A -5 point starting credit. 1 point for every statement that is widely agreed on to be false. 2 points for every statement that is clearly vacuous. 3 points for every statement that is logically inconsistent.
The Crackpot Index is a number that rates scientific claims or the individuals that make them, in conjunction with a method for computing that number. It was proposed by John C. Baez in 1992, and updated in 1998.

A simple guide to the evaluation of contribution to the PrimeNumbers list. Though this index is formed partly as a joke, in it are serious signs that one can use to recognize a crack-pot. Some novice (and mathematically unsophisticated) members on the list can be taken in by crack-pot claims.

6. Okt. 2014 · Ich hatte den Crackpot-Score von John Baez als Scherz aufefaßt und bin erschrocken, wie bierernst und phatasielos Du diesen Index auf Einstein anwendest. Einstein hätte dutlich mehr als 100 Punkte verdient. Allein mit Kriterium 37 hätte er schon 50 Punkte verdient. Die Relativitätstheorie war lange nicht oder nur sehr schlecht ...
