“I am a physicist. This is HS but as a scientist I cannot call someone else’s theory BS even if it is without an experimental or theoretical refutation. Therefore cold fusion and climate change stand because you can’t prove them wrong even though they are BS.”

So we come to one physicist’s rule: “When I can’t understand something or refute it, call it BS.”

Can you prove it is not BS?
If not, aren’t you doing the same: calling something you can’t refute BS?

No. I said as an honest scientist I cannot call it BS. It “could” be true. But it sure sounds like utter BS, which is an aesthetic evaluation. It doesn’t actually solve any problems in the universe we presently have.
