Any problem that can be solved with curved geometry can be solved with straight geometry, and it can be solved much more quickly and transparently with straight geometry. If problems have seemed to be solved with curved geometry that could not be solved with straight geometry, it is only because those problems were too subtle for mathematicians of the time. They could not solve them with rigorous, elegant proofs, and they needed some room to fudge their way through the proof. Curved geometry was chosen because it gave them this latitude, this room to move. As I will show, curved geometry allowed for numbers to be squashed and stretched, and this allowed for solutions to be hammered into place. By and large, curved geometry came to the fore not for honest reasons, but for dishonest reasons. It has become pandemic

For instance, that π (pi) is actually equal to 4, with the caveat that motion be involved; however, not one single reputable scientist agrees with this far-fetched nonsense.

He has also invented a charge field theory which, like all of his other myriad theories, has yet to pass the scrutiny of a basic peer review.

He proposes a 'pi=4 theory', what I regard as wrong.

He apparently had developed a

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

and called that 'unified field theory'.

But I actually think, that my own is much better.

(btw: my own conspriracy theories are also better and also more 
numerous. E.g. I had the idea, that 'Jack the Ripper' was actually 
Winston Churchill ;-))
