The topic is very interesting. The spin of science, is not.
Side story: What's to argue over?
There's no shortage of scientists with breakthroughs who are pretty much abused by their profession and colleagues, sometimes for decades, simply for exploring possibilities and capabilities that are more than safe and conservative and incremental.
Either it's true, or it's not, and it can be explored, or not.
Division breeds who is right and wrong, not what is right or wrong.
Maybe it can be proven, maybe not. Maybe it's true and we don't understand it yet. The naysayers might just not be wanting someone else to succeed.
- j45 2y agoHappy to be downvoted over silent disagreement. Even happier to get input and maybe learn.
- vessenes 2y agoI didn't downvote, but since you asked for feedback, I'd venture a guess that most who did think your post doesn't add anything to the discussion. It's vague, not topical to the paper and isn't falsifiable. A related topic, the emDrive, which had plenty of controversy, is something readers of this thread want to talk about; the specifics are a better fit for this crowd than the meta questions, esp. when vaguely introduced.
