Fresh from the crackpot files

Here's an abstract of a paper that just got posted on the arXiv:

Title: A Tempt To Measure Reality
Authors: Bhag C. Chauhan
Comments: 17 pages, Submitted for Foundation of Physics
Subj-class: Popular Physics; Physics and Society
\ Despite the extraordinary successes the two great bastions of $20^{th}$ century science (Quantum Theory and General Relativity) are troubled with serious conceptual and mathematical difficulties. As a result, further growth of fundamental science is at stake. Is this the end of science? Optimistic answer is ``NOT''! In this work, it is argued that science must continue its cruise, but with anew strategy -- a thorough recourse into the grass-root level working of science is inevitable. In fact, our conventional scientific methods are based upon ordinary sense perception, which keeps the outer physical
universe as a separate entity, that is something quite independent of the observer. Basically, it is the observer -- the knower (human mind) -- which makes perception possible. It makes a person or scientist to recognize or refute the existence of an object or a phenomenon. It is also tempted to evince that working of human mind is epistemically scientific and can, in principle, be completely deciphered. It's inclusion in scientific theories, although tedious, can certainly spark a revolution in our understanding of nature and reality.

And even if it isn't the end of science as we know it, it may well be the end of spell-checking as we know it...

That is truly a fine specimen of psychoceramics. I'm almost tempted to read the paper, except... 17 pages of that? I'd never make it past page 2.

I didn't make it past the abstract.

I'm just doing my duty of laughing at it publicly.
