Anybody else got an older family member who calls to tell you that WHEN they hit the lottery, they're going to build a compound and everyone in the family WILL come and live with them there?
No? Okay... just checking.
I've spent the last hour-plus going through more of the "stuff" he links from the overview, and (a) I still have no way to tell if it makes sense or if it's just LLM-generated physics drivel, and (b) I get more and more concerned that "one self-educated non-physicist overturns all of modern physics and solves all outstanding problems", while hypothetically tenable, strains credulity.
I mean, a long history of cranks "disproving" Einstein (dunno why they all hated relativity so much) and Dirac and everything else just screams "This guy is a nutter". The alarm bells are ringing. I really want people who actually understand this stuff to read it and tell me whether I can write this guy off as such a crank.
But weirder things have happened. Einstein was just a clerk in a patent office who no one had heard of when he demonstrated the then-new and completely unsupported-by-evidence quantum theory, which had only been proposed to solve the (ultra)violet catastrophe, could actually explain the completely unrelated and then-unexplained photoelectric effect. He won the Nobel in physics for that - not relativity - and cemented quantum theory in place, even if he never liked it. A nobody who single-handedly stamped the dividing line between classical physics and modern physics.

Looks like the team of five are going again after a lunch break, coming into the last checkpoint. I'm sure they are all going to make it before cutoff :) Guesstimate distance left 12-15km

Looks like @officehippy has huddle up with 4-5 others to bring it home. They either have to speed it up or take it easy as I have to work and therefore can't do any #DotWatching
Awesomesause to everyone!

@pdeboiserie @officehippy looks like Colin only got to run across the North York Moors National Park and then he is done

@officehippy is still going strong, in and out Kirkby Stephen next check point at 00:15 when I'll be fast asleep
