This guy may be full of peat moss, but he just might have something of interest. Either way, a little open mindedness, people. Sheesh.
Major revisions in physical theory have occurred, and will likely occur again, but these victories are hard won in the laboratory, and working in the open and with cooperation and collaboration among colleagues and peers, not by placing black boxes on shelves and making wild claims to the media and getting publicity for oneself. The subject of the article is making an extraordinary claim, and that requires solid, objective proof that is open for examination and replication. You don't hide things in a box with lightbulbs on it, and stick a voltmeter across some terminals connected to who knows what and palm that off as proof for an extraordinary claim. If these people want to be taken seriously then they'll have to be a bit more above board than they have apparently been to this point. Secrecy and mystery and razzle dazzle lends itself more to the atmosphere of a carnival sideshow than serious scientific study.
