Re: Miles Mathis' Errors

First off, what was the error you found? And second, what did Miles do about it, if anything?

My own experience with Mathis has been that he tells me his articles are self-explanatory, and he stands by whatever they happen to say. If that is his standard response, then why bother telling him anything? His attitude is that every single word of his three thousand page theory is flawless (beyond reproach).

But as I pointed out above, many of his equations have mismatched units (acceleration can not be equal to the velocity squared – the units are wrong). And it's illegal to "dump" units after a computation. But that is exactly what Mathis does. Read his article: "The Difference Between Squared Velocity and Acceleration" (http://milesmathis.com/accel.html).

This is Miles equation from the article. Notice that the units are mismatched and that he has to "dump" the extra meter dimension in order to resolve the discrepancy:

vf = vo + 2vo2t + avot2

And this is not an isolated case. Miles uses this dumping of units malarkey, every time the units are mismatched. It's an illegal procedure, and all of his equations that have mismatched units are wrong.

Oh, and the only thing I have written is an email to Miles - and that was a wasted effort.
