I am surprised that anyone still thinks this thing is legit. I mean, I wish it was true, but the publication, the approach and the infights in the team do not instill confidence.
To me, it seems they can not recreate the "effect" themselves. Otherwise they would be shipping their samples around the world by now.
- wg0 3y agoDon't really get this extreme sensitivity to downvote. I mean - it seems what it seems. May be it seems really promising and trustworthy to some, good for them. That apart - it seems low hanging fruits in the nature are almost over. Scientific progress might not be as rapid and consistent as in past in coming decades especially when world seems to be heading towards multiple (avoidable) conflicts.
- Hakkin 3y agoI'm not necessarily saying I believe it's real, I'm still on the fence, but if anything, the in-fighting for credit from the researchers almost makes it more credible for me. Why would they be so desperate for credit if they knew their findings would be disproven in a week or two? It seems obvious they're vying for a Nobel Prize. So at the very least, I believe the researchers believe what they published is true.
- Workaccount2 3y agoCould well be experimental error, and they are fighting over a false positive result.
- ChemSpider 3y agoThat is exactly my guess. I have been in the lab, and I know how easy it is to see something because you desperately want to see it...
