I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and work as a Manufacturing Engineer in the medical device manufacturing world. I first found Miles through the Thunderbolts forum I believe about 4 years ago. I was immediately hooked! His critiques, analysis and ideas make so much sense to me. I have read everything on his physics website at least once and much of it I have read several times, so I can probably at least do a ground level discussion on just about any of his theories.

I tend to agree with Miles that modern physics long ago left the path of being physical and that a paradigm shift is long overdue to return physics back to mechanics and real, collisions of real particles. Mathematicians have taken over physics; and while the math is important, it should be the tool and not the guide. Today, physicists tend push the math in new directions first and then try to find the reality to fit. This is the opposite of the way it should work. We should study the reality first and then try to develop the math to match.

I would be more than happy to discuss any of his ideas on a regular basis if you would like. I think his ideas are critically important to the future of physics; and, whether he ends up being correct on everything or not, his emphasis on mechanics and his refusal to entertain 'virtual' anything (forces or particles) will ultimately be what save physics, IMO.

If you're interested, there's a Mathis fanpage on Facebook where Miles' papers are posted and discussed. We're rather small right now, but occasionally we get a good discussion going. I look forward to your questions and discussions.
