I particularly like the part where he claims that Einstein's gravity fails when applied to things on a human scale - a fact that has apparently managed to elude physicists working with the theory for the best part of a century - for some reason the guys who can work out the motions of stars, planets, rockets and astronauts completely failed to notice that their theories fail to work properly for everyday objects (so at what point does a space shuttle stop using Einstein's gravity and switch to Newton's? Or is it some property of the Shuttle itself? In which case at what stage in the assembly of a Shuttle does it switch from one mode to the other?) Of course, it couldn't be that this guy has misunderstood how gravity is supposed to work according to Einstein, and the reason why thousands of physicists haven't noticed the problem is that it doesn't exist... Or maybe this guy has read Einstein correctly, and all this time physicists have been working with a theory that wasn't what Einstein meant at all - which would be an interesting historical note, but wouldn't invalidate the theory itself...
