'''Norman Silliman''' (born January 5, 1937) is an American computer programmer and independent researcher who has written on topics in physics and natural philosophy.

	Two great disappoints in my life have been in the scientific arena. At one time I had a 50 year subscription to Scientific American, and a 30 year subscription to Science.

He worked as a computer programmer for forty years, using three programming languages across four different machines. He began using e-mail in 1995 and wrote his own web page in 1998.

			==Work==

			Silliman describes himself as an advocate of Aether physics who does not hold a firm theory. He has written illustrated essays on a wide range of subjects, including the nature of light, magnetism, gyroscopic force, pushing gravity, robotic vision, global warming, Noah's Flood, and Michelson's aether-drift experiment.

			He has expressed disappointment with the state of mainstream physics, noting that his long-held subscriptions to ''Scientific American'' and ''Science'' reported advances in applied engineering technology rather than fundamental breakthroughs in physics, and citing magnetic-confinement hot nuclear fusion as an example of a long-promoted goal that had not been realized.
