[net.physics] Sarfatti the guru

If I guess correctly, this Jack Sarfatti is the same guy who was a
graduate student classmate of mine in the Physics Department of the 
University of California at San Diego in the late 60's.  He was
known then as Jack Sarfatt, and he was regarded by his classmates
as something of a blowhard and an object of amusement.  Since then
he seems to have added an "i" to the end of his name for some
reason, and to have set himself up as some sort of quasi-religious
guru.  While none of what he says seems to directly contradict
known facts and theories of modern physics, I think he's gone wild
in extrapolating things into the realm of fantasy and science
fiction. I hope none of you folks out there take him too seriously.
