Big Bang Theory Busted By 33 Top Scientists

While it's good to see someone generous enough to do GC's homework for him, "33 Top Scientists" is going a bit far, I'm afraid.

First and foremost is Eric J. Lerner, who has a Bachelor's in physics and nothing else to his name. He's a known crank, with his main claim to fame being his authoring The Big Bang Never Happened: A Startling Refutation of the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe, a pop-sci book published by Random House that was torn apart from every angle by anyone and everyone with an actual education in physics. He advocates for an alternative, plasma-physics-based model that also gets completely ravaged any time it's put forth for evaluation. His company, "Lawrenceville Plasma Physics", has only himself as an employee.

Next is Michael Ibison, who claims to have a Ph.D. in laser physics, but has done apparently nothing with it. His published articles, which are scant and difficult to find, are never cited elsewhere, and he now works for a company variously referred to as "EarthTech International" and the "Institute for Advanced Studies, Austin", which is privately funded and has turned out no notable results.

John L. West is essentially no one. James F. Woodward is a history professor who has a pet theory about "reactionless drives" that might be used to power spacecraft. And so on and so on.

Hardly "top scientists", despite the title. It's really not much but a collection of known cranks.
