Miles Mathis has a very appealing and persuasive writing style. When I first encountered his science articles I was blown away by all the errors he claimed to have discovered. Miles had single-handedly uncovered hundreds of errors made by the greatest scientific minds in human history (Newton, Einstein, Maxwell, Euclid, and many others). A stupendous accomplishment, by any measure.  

And at first glance it all appeared to be true. But then I dug a little deeper into his claims. What I found is that his units are usually wrong in nearly every calculation. Miles never includes the units in any of his equations, so his mistakes aren't always apparent to the casual reader. But an equation with mismatched units is strictly forbidden in physics, and is a clear indication that Miles doesn't understand basic science.

As an example, look at his article "The Difference between Squared Velocity and Acceleration" (http://milesmathis.com/accel.html). In this article Miles claims that linear acceleration is equal to the velocity squared. But that can't be right (the units are mismatched). So how does he resolve this discrepancy? Here is his explanation:

"Acceleration is a squared velocity. But we need to dump some of those extra meter dimensions. Every time we multiply a velocity and a velocity that are in line, we have to dump one of the meter dimensions."

His answer is to just change the result (alter the units to match). Is he serious? Yes, it turns out that he is. Hey, if the units don't come out right, then just go ahead and change them (problem solved).

Needless to say, you can't "dump" units from an equation. But Miles uses this illegal trick all the time. In fact, his articles are filled with these sleight of hand gimmicks and trickery (illegal dumping of units being just one example).
