A law is an observation. Such findings are obviously in contrast to existing observations. Just like what was happening in physics in the early 1900’s, so a brilliant dude named Einstein helped to update the old law with the new observations.

If there are these thingamabobbies called hydrinos distributed throughout common water and which contain this sort of energy, I’d sure hate to see them all decide to go up in flames in unison.

Here’s an observation: There’s no K.V. Ramanujachary in the physics department of Rowan University.

A “law of physics” is a generalization drawn from a large number of observations. A law of physics in not “truth” or ultimate reality, it is only valid under certain conditions, and always subject to revision if new observations invalidate it. Newton’s laws are more than adequate for almost all mechanical engineering problems, for instance, but unless modified by Einsteinian dynamics worthless for particle physics.

Still, the article reads like “cold fusion”. Why did they invoke Einstein and Edison, just because they happened to spend time in New Jersey? My mother was born in New Jersey, that doesn’t make her an inventor or a scientist.
