Dear Mr. Davies,

You withheld unnecessarily the identity of the professor you quoted.
Please give us his name and affiliation. All you have done is tell
those on this circulation what they already know. Moreover, your
message ridicules scientists and kindergarten children in favour of
the thoughtless retired engineers and professors of anything
electrical. If your missive was sincere it would not have been sent to
this circulation alone, but also to the Board of Directors of the IEEE
and the IEE and all their editors, and the officials at the Royal
Society and Trinity College Cambridge and the editors of their
publications on physics and engineering, and the editor, Mr. Mike
Lockwood, of the Transactions of the Royal Society which published the
article on the Wakefield experiments by Mr. Yakovlev. You have
actually made it quite clear that you have no intention to assist Mr.
Catt publish fifty words in an IEEE journal, despite your current
membership and past official capacities in the IEEE, let alone tell
Mr. Catt if you will or will not assist him to publish the said fifty
words. You have also remained eerily silent on the issue of the
invalid equation for temperature (of a black hole) chiselled into the
tombstone of Mr. Hawking, being a violation of the laws of
thermodynamics. It is of course another major embarrassment for
astronomers and cosmologists and Trinity dons in particular. Is it
better to hide this truth as well from university students, school
children, and the public at large, to protect the careers and
reputations of the ignoramuses responsible?

Hawking's Gravestone and Mr. Catt,

Yours faithfully,
Steve Crothers
