[edit] John Hait

This page makes some very doubtful claims about its subjects achievements. The article claims subject is responsible for significant scientific advances, with no verification - it seems a lot like a hoax. --Swpb 01:45, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete. Blatant spam and vanity. Not an hoax, just a guy who has some *** ideas - let's just say ideas which have may not have received wide acceptance by the scientific community. Ideas such as Passive Annual Heat Storage which I have put up for deletion. -- RHaworth 07:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
In fact to judge by the description on Image:John hait.jpg, the article was written by his son - but it is still vam and spanity. -- RHaworth 08:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • This is a keeper! Passive Annual Heat Storage is tried and true. This method has been featured in several articles such as Popular Science. You'd know this had you read the book.

  • Delete with extreme prejudice. Wareq 07:34, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Self-published crackpot theories. If there were any valid scientific publications, this would be a different story, but there aren't. eaolson 20:02, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • SAVE!!! The proof's in the pudding. Check out his patents based off his theories. He invented and patented the world's fastest transistor, which has been demonstrated in the lab to switch in a single wavelength of blue light in 1.2 femtoseconds. 100,000 times faster than electronic transistors.

    • Comment. Funny, I can't find any publication verifying such a claim in Google Scholar. [1]. In fact, there don't seem to be any publications by him regarding transistors. eaolson 20:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment the "transistor" is just interference between two beams of light. This is something simple dressed up to try and make it look cool and novel. This guy has been hanging around the fringes of science for years.Dtneilson 04:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I just unblocked the article creator, User:Einsteincode, who had been blocked for repeatedly reposting a very spammy article on Mr. Hait's book, "The Einstein Code". (He promised not to recreate the article on the book.) I suspect (from the use of exclamation points above, if nothing else) that Einsteincode, CoolScience, and 24.117.205.50 are all the same person, namely, Mr. Hait's son.
