Kudos for spending four hard years to publish a negative result! It will hardly make any of them famous, while it still is a very important result. Hopefully this means that we can leave the whole EmDrive debacle behind us once for all.
And to those that says that the outcome was given, and that they wasted their time, I'd say that we do have to sometimes try for the really long shots. In addition, it is important to show that we don't sweep any controversial results under the carpet just because they don't align with current "dogma".
- missurunha 6y ago> Kudos for spending four hard years to publish a negative result! All scientific results are positive, but I have the feeling people end up skewing their research just to show what they want to see. Yesterday I read a study [1] by the most renown Brazilian university claiming that the control of Covid on Brazilian football is bad because 11% of the players got it while in Germany only 0.5% were sick. Then I looked the data up and the Bundesliga has the exact same 11% [2], but the researchers chose a very specific time frame in which they didn't have many cases, just to "prove" their point. This was easy to verify, but I wonder how many long term researches find gibberish results and no one will ever know.
