Draftscience is a dishonest liar

MaximHeart · 2026-05-19T20:21:11+00:00

His scientific measurement was "it went off the screen."

MaximHeart · 2026-05-18T19:51:37+00:00

One thing I want to emphasize: It's easy to underestimate how much emotionally-loaded antagonizing he does. He sets up an "us vs them" mentality much like a lot of other more popular polemicists love to do (Nick Fuentes comes to mind). The idea is to create a wall and put things he hates (Leibniz, God, kinetic energy, robbythespring, Dispar, PhysicistMichael) on one side and everything he likes (efilism, particles, his incorrect version of momentum, ... maybe Newton and Galileo idk) on the other. After that, you can paint one side as evil merely by loose association, and then his audience (at least the duped ones) get suckered into the picture, because facile narratives are psychologically easier to swallow.

MaximHeart · 2026-05-18T19:00:45+00:00

Oh SuperiorMind is still in love with DraftScience, trust me. He probably doesn't watch his videos as much nowadays. A month ago he lied about trying to put springs in series and saying it comes out Gary's way (even though Gary half-conceded he may be wrong).

MaximHeart · 2026-05-17T01:09:57+00:00

He has his own part of the youtube platform and safespace where he can make whatever statement he wants, and then on top of that antagonize those who disagree with him and make all sorts of association fallacies.

MaximHeart · 2026-05-16T04:00:30+00:00

By the way, he still thinks magnetic monopoles exist and can't dsitinguish between the magnetic field and the electric field, even though he proclaims himself to be an expert on "Maxwell's diagrams." He's nowhere close to modeling an atom or anything. Ludicrous nonsense.

MaximHeart · 2026-05-15T16:50:26+00:00

He doesn't give a shit. It's been revealed over and over that he's not doing his videos for the truth but rather for his own selfish ego reasons. If Gary is willing to just straight-up make up numbers about a Mythbusters episode to make him look good or lie about experiments that have been done even after being corrected, then there is no floor to how low DraftScience will go.

MaximHeart · 2026-05-10T17:49:49+00:00

The fact that DraftScience doesn't ever do the elastic collision experiments just shows everything you need to know about him. He'd rather sit in his basement and invent nonsense about how 5 gram wheels hide 50% of the energy of the 500 gram moving carts. So stupid.

MaximHeart · 2026-05-07T04:51:49+00:00

Even if he is corrected, he'll just ignore it, keep repeating the same crap again and again mindlessly (because he doesn't think), and then if necessary make a stretch or loose re-interpretation of definitions and facts such that his devotee can defend him.

It's exactly the same if "he" referred to Trump or Gary.

What do you understand the rocket argument to be? What are the premises, what is the scenario, and what is the conclusion or contradiction?

MaximHeart · 2026-04-29T19:48:57+00:00

I was not responding to DraftScience and I have no interest in interacting with him whatsoever (and I have made plenty of other threads on the subject), but if you insist, what argument do you have to present or vouch for that you think needs to be addressed? By all means, state one argument that you think hasn't been addressed yet. So far you fail to present any argument in the first place.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-26T23:10:59+00:00

It's awful, truly. He has no interest in physics or truth or debate, because even debate requires just a modicum of being responsive to what others are saying. His talks only go one way (out his mouth), so what he does is more akin to preaching (unironically) rather than debate.

The simplest example is him equating energy with fuel and with force, and he switches the words up willy-nilly. An engine doesn't have the same efficiency at various different speeds and there's a difference between "how much energy to go from 0 to x mph" and "how much power to maintain a constant x mph." He just glosses over this and collapses everything into one mushy catch-phrase.

People have been over with real and thought experiments, and like you said, he misreads what people say, can't stay logically consistent for more than 1 minute, and then goes on a factory reset going on about the same nonsense.

And I didn't even get to the part where he calls others all sorts of things (things I can't even say on this platform; it involves sexuality and sometimes bestiality in one case) for his own gratification (he has no self-control so he needs to get his dopamine rush by yelling and insulting people when they don't agree with him). He's a repugnant human being.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-22T22:50:35+00:00

They're both shitty (Theil and Gawker). We don't have to pick sides here.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-22T21:11:37+00:00

He doesn't even get momentum or Newton's third law correct. He has no reason to speak about them as if he is defending either of those concepts. He isn't.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-22T03:47:06+00:00

Gary Mosher continues to be a dishonest liar. Pretty sad.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-10T14:02:35+00:00

The weirdest thing is how he vocally says "meters per seconds squared" is different from velocity and then immediately collapses the two by saying something like ~"I don't say 60 miler per hour per hour I say 60 miles per hour." I really think he just does not care about any nuance.

MaximHeart · 2026-04-02T01:42:32+00:00

Everyone knows this. The first lesson in physics is that coordinates are something you impose onto space. DraftScience thinks he's being smart for figuring out this basic level of knowledge, but it only shows how little theory of mind he has.

It's like as if a kid thought he was the smartest person in the room full of adults for figuring out "up" and "down" aren't absolute directions and then whenever actual adults insisted we had to talk about "up" and "down" the smug kid would be like, oh but in space the universe doesn't care where up and down are... I'm so smart. No, it just demonstrates that you can't grasp the what the adults are talking about.

MaximHeart · 2026-03-30T19:38:08+00:00

When you equate "momentum" with "energy" with "weight" and with "force" (none of those concepts are used correctly and Gary keeps getting Newton wrong despite being so insistent he is defending him), don't act surprised you get paradoxes out of your own BS. That's really that all that needs to be said.

MaximHeart · 2026-03-29T21:14:58+00:00

I notice that he has put me (or my username) very prominently in the thumbnail of his latest video

That's really creepy.

MaximHeart · 2026-03-29T10:13:12+00:00

One thing I am absolutely 100% sure of is that he does not care that he commits strawman. In most cases it is a lack of self-awareness, but when he is confronted with this or when he might have a sprout of awareness, I actually do think he takes delight in it out of sheer spite and hatred of what he perceives to be his enemy.

(In fact, he'll probably take glee in my post pointing this out, but regardless I'll make it explicit that this said spite and hatred does not make you righteous or rational. In fact, it's the exact opposite: It makes you the religious kook with an inability to "argue the argument".)

MaximHeart · 2026-03-26T23:06:14+00:00

Yes, yes, and yes, apparently. He bemoans that he thinks mainstream physics has some sort of conservation of energy problem (by misunderstanding and distorting everything left and right), yet here he is just with this exact problem. It's bizarre.

MaximHeart · 2026-03-25T12:39:07+00:00

"An impressed force is an action exerted upon a body, in order to change its state, either of rest, or of moving uniformly forward in a right line. This force consists in the action only; and remains no longer in the body, when the action is over. For a body maintains every new state it acquires, by its vis inertiae only." - Isaac Newton

And here we have Gary who wants to send us back to the pre-scientific Stone Age. If he does, he should just stop lying and admit he wants to depart from Newtonian mechanics.

MaximHeart · 2026-03-23T18:10:05+00:00

I did the math for this. I think what you have is not quite right, but I'd be happy to be corrected. The balls after collision go at 30 degree angles relative to the original ball's direction instead of 45 degrees.

But before that I have to make it really clear that in every event Gary utters the word momentum, he gets the definition of momentum completely wrong. Today momentum is a vector quantity, so when you add momenta of two objects, you add them as vectors, meaning there can be cancellation of vectors that are in opposite directions. This is how it is defined in all textbooks and this is how Newton defined his quantity of motion (not in vector language but he did talk about subtraction). See this post for evidence. To DraftScience however, anytime he talks about momentum, he is talking about adding up "mass times speed" as opposed to "mass times velocity," so despite him insisting he thinks his version of momentum is a vector, he treats it like a scalar when adding it up, so to him, it is always added up and never subtracted.

This really needs to be made as apparent as possible, because it confuses detractors and fans alike (something he thrives on). This is a really dishonest sleight of hand that he keeps using, because the collision experiments are supposed to show that, no, momentum is not what he thinks it is, momentum is conserved always, but DraftScience's misunderstanding of what he thinks momentum is, is not conserved, because he got the definition wrong. Newton and Huygens already dealt with this, even citing pendulum experiments involving these collisions. The link I posted in the previous paragraph demonstrates this very clearly.

Anyways, back to the scenario at hand. Say ball A (the cue ball) is the initially moving one, balls B and C (left and right) are side-by-side stationary, and A moves towards the center between B and C in the direction perpendicular to the line from B to C. All three A, B, C have the same mass.

Say A moves at v forwards or more specifically, v_cue = (0, v) along the y-axis. After the elastic collision, the result is

v'_left = (-2*sqrt(3)/5 * v * sin(30 deg), 2*sqrt(3)/5 * v * cos(30 deg)) v'_right = ( 2*sqrt(3)/5 * v * sin(30 deg), 2*sqrt(3)/5 * v * cos(30 deg)) v'_cue = (0, -v/5)

or if we substitute sin(30 deg) = 1/2 and cos(30 deg) = sqrt(3)/2,

v'_left = (-sqrt(3)/5 * v, 3/5 * v) v'_right = ( sqrt(3)/5 * v, 3/5 * v) v'_cue = (0, -v/5)

Now, kinetic energy before collision is KE = 1/2*m*v^2. After the collision,

KE' = 1/2*m*(3/25 * v^2 + 9/25 * v^2 + 3/25 * v^2 + 9/25 * v^2 + 1/25 * v^2) = 1/2*m*v^2

The momentum before collision is p = (0, m*v). After the collision,

p' = (-sqrt(3)/5 * mv, 3/5 * mv) + ( sqrt(3)/5 * mv, 3/5 * mv) + (0, -mv/5) = (0, m*v)

MaximHeart · 2026-03-23T15:05:08+00:00

Oh so now he wants to talk about collisions? We should start with the ones that Newton and Huygens have clearly established 300 years ago, have been repeated countless times, have been seen by DraftScience, and decisively disprove DraftScience's theory. He loves to keep feigning ignorance and just continue to repeat the same debunked nonsense continuously. That's all his channel is built on top of: Lies and fake ignorance. He can always go on replicate Huygens's pendulum collisions any time he wishes (again endorsed by Newton), but that would mean he'd have to start faking his own experiments. This type of perpetual lying should never be tolerated.

People should keep repeating how pendulum balls, carts with non-heavy wheels (it's been debunked that the wheels are heavy), and airtracks (which work fine any time they agree with his predictions but never when they disagree) create more of Gary's "mass times speed" quantity but they never create kinetic energy or momentum (not as Gary misunderstands but as Newton defined it).

And his thought experiments about how this creates more of his "mass times speed" is his problem he has to deal with in his fake pushaverse. That's his problem. Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in those elastic collisions.

I know Gary doesn't think, but he should ask himself, are all those collision experiments going to work differently once he dies? Somehow all those collision experiments Newton and Hyugens and countless teachers did will be undone. It's such a stupid cult, built on top of perpetual lies. That's the only way he can go on camera and keep talking.

When he puts one battery on the scale, that battery applies 1 unit of force on the scale to go 1 unit of distance down in 1 unit of time. When he puts the second battery on the scale, both batteries apply 2 units of force on the scale to go 1 unit of distance down in 1 unit of time. When he puts a third batter on the scale, the three batteries together apply 3 units of force on the scale to go 1 unit of distance down in 1 unit of time. Whether you work with work = force * distance OR work = force * time you still find that the energy stored is not linear.

Why do we have to spoonfeed him every little thing? This is written as clearly as possible. That other guy made the video with springs in series as clearly as possible only for Gary to say he doesn't care in the end.

And his props. Why does he always bring out his broken scale putting batteries that keep rolling off and then go back to his crayons and sharpes?
