Inside The Most Expensive Science Experiment Ever (ITER Fusion)

[longship]

18. I am not committed to "fraud" charge.

It may be legit. But it has the attributes of previous fraud or hoaxes. This makes these claims suspect to a community of people (scientists) who operate by releasing their research findings publicly so that others can verify and validate those claims. Or, indeed, falsify them.

I have no dog in this hunt other than to observe that this project is doing things outside the normal scientific methodology. That makes the claims suspect from the get go.

On top of that, there would be a lot of physics upended if cold fusion were true. That raises the bar significantly higher. Again, the Pons and Fleishman debacle looms large here.

Just the fact that they do not reveal details is troubling. And the hoaxers and the deluded never do not claim protection for their financial interests when sweeping their so-called science behind a veil of secrecy.

Until this is peer reviewed one must be skeptical of secret claims like this.

Sorry, my friend.
