Post by Bill in Oregon »

Be neat if they could make this work, but it is likely a dead end. Cool concept, though.

A technology that:

can't be easily (or if all) replicated in other labs

can't easily be measured apart from instrument error

Sounds nice, but this one is more wishful thinking, unicorns, and pixie dust.

Sort of like cold fusion - Remember that one?

Wish it were true but I'm waiting till I can buy one from Walmart.
