| Von Wissenschaftlern wurde Evans als "crackpot" bezeichnet, so vom niederländischen Physik-Nobelpreisträger Gerard 't Hooft.<ref>Zitat:<br>''For some time, I have been member of the scientific journal Foundations of Physics. There exists a related Journal, Foundations of Physics Letters, that comes with a nearly identical cover, and has the same chief Editor, Mr. Alwyn van der Merwe. Although I am not in the Editorial Board of the Letters edition, an alarming fact came to my notice, that will have to be attended to by its board of editors: this journal is being abused by a self-proclaimed scientist by the name of M.W. Evans. This person does not seem to have access to any of the networks controlled by professional scientists, but his writings are everywhere else on the net. He launches the so-called "Evans Unified Field Theory", based on the "Evans wave equation". The impudence to attach your own name to whatever you claim to have discovered is considered improper in science, and in practice it betrays amateurism and incompetence. In spite of devastating referee reports, it turns out that Evans managed to have a whole series of his papers published in Foundations of Physics Letters.<br>For instance, here is what he says of himself on many web pages:<br><br>"The unified field theory is generally accepted as being the first objective unified field theory of physics, thus completing Einstein's quest and in general a four hundred year old quest of causal natural philosophy. The unified field theory allows the acquisition of urgently needed electric power from Evans spacetime, and it is important that formal courses begin on it at Universities worldwide. All the leading univeristies internationally have now visited www.aias.us, together with all leading physics institutes and similar, "research councils, military establishments and units and similar facilities worldwide. We have had serval visits from Head of State and Parliamentary level or equivalent worldwide."<br><br>He asks electricity companies to take notice of his theories, because soon he expects to be able to generate electricity out of vacuum energy. Needless to say, all this is complete nonsense. The emptiness of these papers is so deafening that he does not impose a real threat to science. Most of us did not even notice the presence of one more crackpot in the arena of science. The number of citations he collects on his papers in Foundations of Physics are single-digit ones. Still, this person must be stopped. There was at least one person that he managed to fool: the chief Editor of Foundations of Physics Letters.
