As a person who makes no secret of having a PhD in Physics and also of being into speculative fiction, I get a lot of URLs thrown at me about the latest in this or that oddball theory. As a result, I see a lot of stuff that scores high on the Crackpot Index. It's a useful tool for non-experts too, to help sift out the potentially groundbreaking new science from, well, crackpots ("psychoceramics").
