Words that may or may not have been said on July 20, 1969: “That’s one small step for
a man; one giant leap for mankind.”Another rhetorical contrast,
from a different date –One small step for me:

Music to Read By
In honor of Roger Cooke’s review of Helson’s Harmonic Analysis, 2nd Edition, today’s site music is “Moonlight in Vermont.”
One giant leap for mankind:
“The ‘Diamond Theory’ website of Steven Cullinane shows a man who is
incapable of telling the truth: a pathological liar who hates and
despises the mathematical community; a sociopath caught between the
conflicting desires to earn the admiration of mathematicians, and his
desire to insult those who ignore him and refuse him his self-perceived
due measure of honor and reverie. As such, Steven Cullinane is
constantly trying to purchase recognition when he has the funds to
advertise on google.com, or steal that recognition by lying and
deceiving dmoz.org when money isn’t enough. As you can see from the
correspondence below, Jed Pack has clearly pointed out serious errors
in Steven Cullinane’s calculations. Now, instead of admitting that he
has been caught with his pants down, Steven Cullinane is questioning
Jed Pack’s education! Surely, Jed Pack is a more competent
mathematician than Steven Cullinane.”For further details, see Crankbuster.
