Miles Mathis

Miles Mathis (born 1964) is an American artist, poet, writer, pseudoscientist, and conspiracy theorist.
Mathis is best known for his outlandish and often ridiculous theories. For instance, that π (pi) is actually equal to 4, with the caveat that motion be involved;The Extinction of π. "I show that in all kinematic situations, π is 4. For all those going ballistic over my title, I repeat and stress that this paper applies to kinematic situations, not to static or geometric situations. I am analyzing the equivalent of an orbit, which is caused by motion and includes the time variable. In that situation, π becomes 4. I will also remind you this is not just a theory: it has been indicated by many mainstream experiments, including rocketry tests and quantum experiments" however, not one single reputable scientist agrees with this far-fetched nonsense. Mathis thinks that standard mathematical derivatives are incorrect — overturning almost all math and science, ever. He has also invented a charge field theory which, like all of his other myriad theories, has yet to pass the scrutiny of a basic peer review.
In addition to his math and science ineptitude, Mathis is also a raving conspiracy theorist.
==Scientific thoughts==
===The pi=4 theory===
For those who want to go straight to the pure mathematics of the theory (without all the tedious verbiage), read "The extinction of pi short version",http://milesmathis.com/pi3.html which contains his comical attempt at a formal mathematical proof.
Listed below are the Mathis papers that describe his zany wronger than wrong unorthodox pi=4 theory:
*What is pi?
*The extinction of pi (15 pages)
*The extinction of pi short version (3 pages)
*Proof from NASA that pi is 4
*The Manhattan Metric
*The Cycloid and the Kinematic Circumference
*More on Running Tracks
*A simple experiment proves pi=4
A well-written critique of the pi=4 theory has been written by computer scientist Mark Chu-Carroll."Grandiose Crackpottery Proves Pi=4"
===Derivative falsehood===
Mathis claims that the derivatives used in calculus of many elemental functions (log(x), ln(x), etc.) have been calculated wrong,http://milesmathis.com/log.htmlhttp://milesmathis.com/ln.html and therefore any math or physical experiment that relies on them must also be wrong. His evidence for this claim is nothing more than a reference to his own articles where he redefines the derivative;http://milesmathis.com/are.html basically turning it into a rough approximation (an average value).
==Unified field theory==
Mathis is perhaps most notable for his screed on the Unified Field Theory, which purports to derive a unified field equation, "the solution of a very long mystery."The Unified Field Theory. He provides no sources for this theory except for his own. His theory is essentially an esoteric model based on extravagant and untestable hypotheses.
The majority of his papers are an exercise in trying to justify a haphazard Unified Field, in which anything goes, including a mathematical proof of pi equaling 4.http://milesmathis.com/pi4.html He states that he can say and do anything he wants because he has to answer to nobody.In this case, Miles needs to answer to nobody because nobody will pay attention.
Mathis has penned a couple of books that collect various random screeds from his web site together and attempts to pass them off as legitimate science.Miles Mathis, The Un-Unified Field: And Other Problems. AuthorHouse, 2010. ISBN 1452005133Miles Mathis, The Incorporation of Light. lulu.com, 2011. ISBN 1105226840
==Conspiracy theories==
Mathis subscribes to quite a number of conspiracy theories, usually by the effect of "X person faked their death", "Y event was a hoax/staged" or "Z is an intelligence asset". Given that belief in conspiracy theories is often motivated by a sense of "special-ness", and Mathis claims to have overturned almost all mathematics and science, this isn't surprising.
*The Boston Marathon bombing was faked.The Boston Marathon or the Case of the Four Fences. "The good thing about these recent events is that they are so poorly faked that a lot of people are catching on. If they can keep us talking about three fake people who were fake-killed in Boston or the 27 people who were fake-killed in Sandy Hook, they can keep our eyes off the real tragedies."
*The Sandy Hook mass shooting is a "scripted tragedy".The Alleged Sandy Hook Tragedy. "It is difficult to say what really happened at Sandy Hook, but as with other scripted tragedies, it is becoming easier and easier to say what didn't happen. The story you are being sold in the mainstream media didn't happen."
*Unsurprisingly, he's also a birther and 9/11 truther.911 Truth and Obama's Birth. "I think pretty much everyone knows that 911 was an inside job. We know that cellphone calls from the planes were faked. We know that video of the planes going into the towers was faked. We know that the 19 hijackers were either made up or were under the protection of the US government. We know that there is no evidence they were on the planes, and that there is much evidence that many of them were not on the planes… The Certificate of Live Birth will turn out to be Obama's Watergate. Why? Because it is a fake. But it is not just a fake, it is a fake so fake that it will be guaranteed to be found out. Absolutely no one will be fooled. Every last person in the world is figuring out that this is a ham-handed fake (starting with those who know how to use Photoshop)."
*All major internet sites, NASA, all universities, mainstream physics, and basically everything else (like bookstores) are infiltrated by the CIA.The Wiki-Mandarins. "Most people don’t seem to know how to find alternative information, so they end up at the big misinformation sites—sites underwritten or owned by big corporations or the government. Many of these sites read as if they have recently been cleaned by the CIA or the FBI or both. In fact, they have. I seriously think that Wikipedia may have been infiltrated by the CIA." Strange, considering he seemingly uses Wikipedia extensively alongside another site he says is a front for the conspiracy; Geni.comhttp://milesmathis.com/control.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/boycott.pdf "One of the ways I avoid new books is by avoiding the bookstore. I haven't been to a Barnes & Noble or similar bookstore in years. Why? Because they don't have any real books. Like the major newspapers and magazines, the bookstores were taken over long ago. They are just fronts for the CIA. I suspect they are subsidized and they may be run directly from Langley. Again, I have been avoiding mainstream bookstores for at least 20 years, but I only recently figured out why they don't have any real books. Real books don't fit their agenda. They want you reading Oprah books on self-help or pseudo-psychology. Either that or fake history books, fake political books, or fake current events books. They want your reading experience to be totally manufactured by their inserted agents. Yes, they still have some classics, but only the classics that don't interfere with their program. You will find that most classics that contain any useful information have been phased out. And the ones that remain are fronted by asinine introductions and ugly covers. They are sprayed with formaldehyde, coated with toxins, inserted with tracking devices, and then marked up to three times their value. You can get old first editions on abebooks or ebay for cheaper than the smelly new books.
*JFK, and all his relatives since 1944, faked their deaths and have ruled the United States from the shadows (specifically, the Kennedy compound and island of Martha's Vineyard) ever since, with only Nixon trying to bring light to the conspiracy. This resulted in Watergate getting pinned on him.http://mileswmathis.com/barindex2.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/watergate.pdf
*John Lennon faked his death and is currently living in Canada.http://mileswmathis.com/lennon.pdf
*The Zodiac killings were faked.http://mileswmathis.com/zodiac.pdf
*Stephen Hawking died and was replaced by an impostor years before his reported death.http://mileswmathis.com/hawk3.pdf
*The Lincoln assassination was faked.http://mileswmathis.com/lincoln.pdf
*The English Revolution was faked.http://mileswmathis.com/charlesI.pdf
*That every single historical figure since at least the French Revolution, and perhaps since the Renaissance, Including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and the Romanovs has been a "gay Jewish actor" completely controlled by "mostly Jewish industrialists" and had their deaths faked.http://mileswmathis.com/lenin.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/stalin.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/hiller.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/putsch.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/benito.pdf
*Every event, including the sinking of the USS Indianiapolis, the sinking of the Titanic, the Battle of Iwo Jima, Custer's Last Stand, and literally everything else was either faked entirely or almost entirely, with fake photos and storylines.http://mileswmathis.com/custer.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/indian.pdf
*That since at least Shakespeare (who was a committee led by the conspirators), there has been an intelligence conspiracy to dumb people down by making entertainment and/or education be crappy or irrational on purpose so that the people who consume it become less logical or rational and thus less likely to oppose or comprehend the conspiracy.http://mileswmathis.com/shake.pdf "In short, not as much has changed in the past 400 years as you think. The Shakespeare writing committee was doing pretty much the same thing the Hollywood and TV writing committees are doing now: turning your little mind into mush. These plays aren't boldly irrational by accident, any more than new scripts are boldly irrational by accident. They can't have you expecting plots or character actions to make sense, because if they did, you might expect life to make sense. If life made any sense, you might figure out how to take part in it in a sensible way, and they can't have that. They want you so confused you cannot possibly respond to any of their projects, other than go along with them. For the most part, they want you non-functioning as an active member of the world. They prefer that you are just conscious enough to get up in the morning and go to work, but not conscious enough to question anything you are told during your day. To achieve that, all your entertainment is purposely confusing, chaotic, and illogical. Likewise, all your education — whether it is provided by teachers or by media — is also utterly uncentering and confounding. The history you are taught is false and senseless, and current events are manufactured to produce fear and imbalance. It is a miracle any of us can function at all."http://mileswmathis.com/game.pdf "In short, all this new fiction is coming right out of Langley (he means Langley, Virginia, a metonym for the CIA. The CIA's HQ is located in Langley, Virginia). They just churn it out and then manufacture some bio and photo to front it. It was written by some committee, and it is being shoveled down your throat for two reasons: 1) to waste your time and keep you from looking at more important or interesting things, 2) to further propagandize you. They work in all the current gambits one way or another. [This also applies to The Hunger Games, by the way, and lots of other similar stuff.] They are conditioning you to live in a humorless, joyless world where the bad people are more interesting and the good people always die violently. The only upside is you may get to wear a cool wig. They have to condition you to this entertainment because it is all they are capable of... This is what you would get if Days of Our Lives were set in the 11th century, allowing for the 19 murders and rapes per hour. If you are watching it, turn it off. If you need to veg out, go watch reruns of Match Game on youtube. It will be a total waste of your time, but at least you will avoid a brainwashing, a disempowering, and an un-enlightening."http://mileswmathis.com/gone.pdf "As an example, the first scene of The Lion King is a baboon with a staff arriving to baptize the new cub. Why would a lion need to be baptized by a baboon? There is something really icky about the idea, though most people seem to have missed it. All the animals are bowing to the lions, or dropping curtsies. Icky again, since I thought we had quit kings and all the bowing to them. So why is it being promoted here? In the next scene, Zazu flies in to scold Scar for not being at the christening. Zazu is supposed to be a hornbill, but looks nothing like one. They have nothing to do with lions in real life. Scar is torturing a mouse, but lions don't eat mice. Scar then tries to eat Zazu, but lions don't eat hornbills either. It is all so Mufasa and his brother Scar can growl at each other. The next scene is a long one with Mufasa lecturing to Simba about how the world works. Just what we need this early in the film right, a long exposition. We soon get to plenty of action, but is only so these sick script writers can steal the worst part of Bambi, having Simba's father Mufasa killed in front of him. To make it worse, the young Simba is told it was his fault. Could anything be more traumatizing to children having to watch this? Bambi was bad enough, but this is a thousand times worse, on purpose. You can now understand why they named the brother Scar. The script writers are intentionally scarring their young audience. And that was scarring, not scaring, though they are doing both, to prepare them for the long PTSD life ahead of them created by the Phoenicians. So the film reads as both a result and a cause of widespread—and one might say generalized—mental illness."http://mileswmathis.com/michael.pdf "Propaganda has gotten a lot more sophisticated and a lot more prevalent in the past 20 years. The media is now drenched with it. Propaganda is dripping from everything you see or hear... They (the masses) know about propaganda, but don't realize it is hiding everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Even in these innocuous videos about animals. Even in yoga magazines. Even in beer commercials. Even in sporting events. The Phoenicians (the evil Jews) have taken overevery last form of communication and turned it to complete shit. Video, TV, print, literature, poetry, art, education, email, phones, EVERYTHING. Everything is now a total constant mindf$ck, wheedled past your unprotected eyes in order to disorient you, hypnotize you, and ultimately disempower you."
*That everything above and more that happened since WW2 was a part of "Operation Chaos/Kaos", which is referenced frequently many of his papers. The point is to make people confused, irrational and "turn their minds to mush" so that people don't question physics establishment, resist the conspiracy and buy more things they don't need.http://mileswmathis.com/onion.pdf
*Just... you name it, he has a theory about it.
Mathis regularly adds dozens of other equally absurd conspiracies.http://mileswmathis.com/updates.html 
=== You (yes, you) are in on it too === 
Even if we assume that everything he says is true, then we should refer to the Conspiracy theory page's checklist in part 4: especially logistics and plausibility. 
Assuming him to be consistently correct, this would require the conspiracy to have potentially tens of and very possibly hundreds of millions of people being involved or more and not massively spilling the beans, including every historian, photographer/painter, the low-level grunts "in-on-it", or even just more logical than normal people in the entire world, possibly for four centuries or even millennia (one Mathis reader thinks that it goes back to before the Establishment of Israel, and the word "God" was perhaps referring to them).http://mileswmathis.com/phoen.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/phoen2.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/phoen3.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/phoen4.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/phoen5.pdf The conspiracy would have to be at least as big as the size of the Flat Earth conspiracy (which Mathis claims to be a NASA/CIA puppet movement to prevent the questioning of physics). He takes this to parodic proportions in a paper about people confusing The Onion with "real news", which is called Poe's Law, the paper "Breaking News".http://mileswmathis.com/relnews.pdf "a separate poll from USA Today failed to discover even one respondent who realized that all so-called real news was also fake. 100% of those polled did not understand that the same people who write for The Onion also write for the New York Times, USA Today, TIME magazine, Huffington Post, CNN, FOXnews, MSNBC, and all other known news sources. These writers are in adjoining cubicles in Langley, Virginia, where they also write speeches for President Obama, prepare television scripts for all known programs, write the scripts for all movies, write all the press releases from NASA, write all the songs that are currently allowed to be recorded, write all the advertising jingles, and write the Teleprompter cues for all national, state, and local politicians, including the city council minutes in Yankum, Georgia, population 4 (Yankum, Georgia is fictional). In related news, these same respondents mistakenly thought the previous paragraph was a joke" Because everyone's dream when they join the CIA is to work nine-to-five making "as seen on TV" jingles and writing a teleprompt for villages whose populations are in the double digits.
Besides the size, the conspiracy is also smart enough to hide from scrutiny these people’s secret allegiances with the powers that be from the masses, rumblings and exposures about inconsistencies with the official story from those not in on it (which is literally almost everyone except Mathis), eliminate the most significant leaks, etc. while at the same time being so bone-headed that they apparently can't forge photos or create consistent or believable stories for their alleged actors.Guess the ever-present greed for more moolah even though it endangers the conspiracy means that the editor and photographer's budget had to get cut. Mathis himself says that currently "something on the order of 10 million people have been hired in the US alone" and includes us at RationalWiki as "in on it".http://mileswmathis.com/reset.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/unver.pdf "You have to realize that even in a real event, say a real schoolboard meeting in your hometown, a large number of those around you are hired (CIA) actors... None of those people are real. But even in real events, you will find a large number of CIA actors infiltrating and trying to steer them. These people are everywhere. Intelligence now employees literally millions of people whose jobs are infiltrating events and steering them or undermining them."http://mileswmathis.com/TRox.pdf For fun, go to pages 2-4 and take a shot for every time he uses the shill gambit Questions such as logistics, benefits, and exposure should often be considered. He almost exclusively uses Wikipedia, despite also calling Wikipedia a CIA front, Geni.com, a few other "mainstream" sites for research, plus "logic".
If the stories are also allegedly so implausible/impossible/contradictory/plain crappy, say a painting that looks too new to be painted at the time, why haven’t student academics (who may have access to various archives and more knowledge then laypeople) ever piped up? Speaking of that, why has nobody “in on it” — the photographers, editors, actors, film directors, extras, storyline writers and more — ever come out publicly and explicitly reveal the centuries-long gambit? If they are just censored by the “mainstream”, in fact, if so many of the photos and stories are as obviously fake a Mathis says they are, then why has nobody, even and especially every-men on the streets, figured out what Mathis has if it is supposedly so simple to unravel? 
All these questions are handwaved by Mathis: they are all either useful idiots, in on it too, or most importantly being censored and squelched by the controlled mainstream media, saying that questions about lack of exposure are just "misdirection" and that leaks of the conspiracy are just not reported by said media (if that is true, then how did someone who "exposed" the moon landing, Bill Kaysing, become so well known among conspiracy theorists or get his book published at all if they control the media so totally? If you say they "blackwashed" him afterward, why even bother when you can squelch the bug while it's small and save the legwork?).http://mileswmathis.com/castro.pdf "It is just more indication they think we are all idiots. We don't even merit a well crafted tale, one where the plot holds together. Do you think “real” historians can't see what I see? Do you think thousands of college-educated wonks, as detail-oriented as any scholars, don't know what I have just told you? Of course they know. Anyone who has bothered to read these bios and histories closely must know they are total disinfo. I put it that way because it means that all the historians are in on the con."http://mileswmathis.com/real.pdf "And that's the problem of the modern world: almost everyone has been hired, directly or indirectly, by the CIA or some front of a front of a front. The artists are propagandists, the scientists are propagandists, the academics in all fields are propagandists, the journalists are propagandists, the historians are propagandists, and so on. I would assume most of them know they are propagandists, and who they are working for, but even if some of them don't, it doesn't matter. Propaganda from dupes reads the same as propaganda from agents, and may be even more convincing."http://mileswmathis.com/garf.pdf "We have seen that this whole story is another ridiculously transparent fraud, so how is it that no professional historians have ever figured that out? It must be because there are no professional historians. All the paid historians must be from the Families, paid to lie and misdirect. All the history departments at all the universities in the country must be composed of utter frauds. They must know all these stories are false, but they don't care. Either that or they are simply dumb as dirt. I don't see a third choice here."http://mileswmathis.com/oj.pdf "(There are too many people to maintain the conspiracy) This is the go-to misdirection to this day, for all conspiracy theories. After 911, they used the same misdirection, leading most debunkings with the idea that with so many people involved and so many intangibles, secrecy could never be maintained. That's nonsense, of course, but it fools most people. Most people don't want to believe in faked events, so they are pretty easy to deflect with false reasoning like this. The truth is, secrecy isn't maintained. There are leaks, and many people know the truth. Others find out the truth. But that doesn't matter because total secrecy isn't necessary. All that is necessary is that the leaks aren't reported by the mainstream press. As long as the government and press stonewall and deny, the majority of people aren't going to move past a certain point. The CIA learned a long time ago that a small percentage of activists can be ignored, because the masses won't follow them. Most people will follow the majority, no matter where it goes. That is why it is called the majority. Because of that, Intelligence only needs to manufacture the majority opinion. In other words, the majority of people don't even need to believe something, they only need to be told that a majority believe it. That is enough to stop them from acting on their own beliefs or suspicions. The government doesn't poll the public to discover a majority opinion, at least not on important topics. The government just creates a majority opinion and publishes it. Most people then believe it—or at least believe it is the majority opinion—simply because they saw it published. Even if they don't share the opinion, they believe they are in a minority, and therefore powerless." http://mileswmathis.com/aden.pdf "The mainstream historians and other paid propagandists want you to think you can't tell anything from names, places, faces, noses, genealogies, or anything else, because they don't want you questioning any of their claims. They don't want you unwinding things like I have. The internet is stiff with anonymous experts on forums waving you off my research based on a sniff and a shrug, but it isn't working because 1) no one visits those forums but spooks, 2) my arguments are rich with facts while theirs are non-existent. All they do is call me a name, point out a couple of things they don't like, and treat that as a response. Nobody is fooled by that. To stall, the history police have begun borrowing talking points from the science police, who have long dismissed me as an egotist. No one but an egotist would ever question mainstream authorities, according to them. Anyone confident enough to think for himself must be deluded. So don't bother reading me: I couldn't possibly be worth reading. The only thing worth reading is promotion of the same old lies that got us where we are now.http://mileswmathis.com/jfkgay.pdf "Whenever I finish a paper like this, I ask myself again how historians could have missed it all. Are there any real historians, or all they all paid to lie? The evidence all points to the latter. As in every other field, historians proceed only by accepting the history they have been sold, and they are denied any advancement if they do not. Only those who regurgitate the old lies are given teaching positions and book contracts."http://mileswmathis.com/lennon.pdf "It doesn't really matter, since the media is now so controlled there is no way to blow the whistle on something like this. This paper won't get any traction, since most people prefer to believe what they are told by the mainstream. Most people won't read this, and even if they do they won't be convinced because they don't want to be. Most people are very uncomfortable being in a minority, and the minority capable of following my argument here is very small—something under 5%. Those running the world don't concern themselves anymore with the small percentages, since they have found they can be ignored. If a few smart people see through the scams, so what. The rest won't follow them. Most people follow the mainstream propaganda because it is louder, and for no other reason. And that will not change."
And the elephant in the room: If the ruling elites are so incompetent in so many respects (leaving compromising data openly available on the internet and playing games with Mathis using even crappier shills all allegedly reading from the same script instead of unpersoning him, having their actors all be gay, Jewish, and related to each other, et al., even if as Mathis claims that a single "flicker in the matrix" can be fatal to the entire conspiracy, how in the world have they gotten this far without having a fuck-up that reveals the whole charade? (Mathis says 9/11 was the big fuck up, but this whole mess should have crumbled long ago, especially since he claims througout the papers that the conspirators are also in a low-level conspiracy against themselves.)
=== Anti-Mathis Science Conspiracy ===
To quote from Mathis' page "debunking" conventional interpretations of the http://milesmathis.com/caven.html
The rest of the post asserts that science paywalls — rather than being relatively innocent capitalism-fueled endeavors — are set up to hide information.
===Anti-semitism===
Mathis exhibits blatant anti-semitism in his writings. He has claimed that many non-Jewish individuals are actually Jewish, including http://mileswmathis.com/nick.pdf C.S. Lewis,http://mileswmathis.com/blarnia.pdf Donald Trump,http://mileswmathis.com/trump.pdf Elon Musk,http://mileswmathis.com/musk.pdf Adolf Hitler,http://mileswmathis.com/hiller.pdf Napoleon Bonaparte,http://mileswmathis.com/napoleon.pdf and Pierre-Simon de Laplace.
===Persecution complex===
Unsuprisingly, Miles Mathis has a persecution complex suitably sized to his perceived genius. He thinks that everyone, other conspiracy theorists, mainstream theorists, all academics, and other assorted naysayers to his theories are never just sheeple innocently repeating what they were taught to believe, but CIA fronts/agents/hires, employed to keep people off his research, and he regularly accuses people of being controlled opposition:http://mileswmathis.com/remington.pdfhttp://mileswmathis.com/div.pdf
==Response to RationalWiki==
Mathis got mad at this page, alleging that we at RationalWiki "probably come out of Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, since they look to be a psychological operations unit".http://mileswmathis.com/jackboot.pdf Here are some quotes from another of his responses:http://milesmathis.com/ratdik.pdf
He — or someone who writes a lot like him — really doesn't like this page.http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Miles_Mathis&diff=1791888&oldid=1791884http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Miles_Mathis&diff=1792165&oldid=1792034http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Miles_Mathis&diff=1792249&oldid=1792170
