detecting crackpots

Finding derivations which relate famous equations can lead to paths worn by crackpots. Well known equations like F=m*a and E=m*c^2 serve as good targets for non-experts. With sufficient math, laypersons have a difficult time distinguishing crackpots from legitimate experts.

I was looking for the relation between E=m*c^2 and F=m*a

I found this page

Clue number 1: a private domain name -- mrelativity.net

Clue number 2: other papers attacking relativity

Clue number 3: lack of Latex

Clue number 4: unfamiliar jargon -- "Internal Energy of a Particle"
