Over 100 published science journal articles just gibberish
Fox News ^ | March 01, 2014 | Maxim Lott

Do scientific papers ever seem like unreadable gibberish to you? Well, sometimes they really are.

Some 120 papers published in established scientific journals over the last few years have been found to be frauds, created by nothing more than an automated word generator that puts random, fancy-sounding words together in plausible sentence structures. As a result they have been pulled from the journals that originally published them.

It is ironic that gibberish like this is too easily accepted simply because of post modern ideology.

Speaking of post-modernism, if you ever want to read turgid gibberish, try reading anything by Jurgen Habermas, a post-modern philosopher. First of all, it's philosophy, which is nearly impossible to read regardless of who writes it. Secondly, it's translated from the German, and German does not translate to English well. And lastly, it's post-modern, which means that even if it was written in crayon with a pop-up version, it wouldn't make any sense.

Its almost as if some enemy group has taken over our culture and made it unfashionable to have integrity, obey the rules, obey the law etc.

Yep.

Yahuh, yeah right. I’ve been hearing about Controlled Hot Fusion (CHF) all my life, and after 50 years and hundreds of $billions pissed down that fraudulent rathole, we are still 50 years off from “readily available reality” and that will be after more hundreds of $billions spent. Talk about bullcrap. But with the noble cold fusioneers, it’s only a few tens of $Millions and the corner-turn is only 3 years away. In fact, cold fusion IP has been sold on the open market just this last month for $20M. No one wants any CHF IP because it is bullcrap.

Somehow I don’t think we’ll have a single operating LENR device anywhere except in breathless press releases begging for more investment.
***Somehow I know that you haven’t investigated the facts.

But is it "Authentic Frontier Gibberish"?

Check back with me in two years.
***I’ll check with you RIGHT NOW. Right NOW there are at least 2 sources of LENR devices available to anyone who has the wherewithal. So you can send a check to Dr. Hagelstein (Whom you so blithely claim has posted gibberish) or Dr. Celani. That is assuming, of course, that you do not trust sending a check to Rossi for $1.5M.

Perhaps, if you consider the huge increase in money for higher education, and the concomitant lowering of standards generally, to have no political motivation.

But how could gibberish end up in respectable science papers? The man who discovered the frauds (computer scientist Cyril Labbe) has no explanation as to why the journals published meaningless papers.

The publishers also could not explain it, admitting that the papers “are all nonsense.”

I would blame it on global warming.

Gabby Johnson disagrees.

Sciencecpapers may be gibberish, but they are good enough to keep the grants rolling in.

This issue reeks of crookedness and incompetency, but we have so far is not political. It may turn out to be, though.

Name some people sucker who have actually taken delivery of these wonder devices. NASA isn't interested in a wonder energy device? I wonder why not... hmmm...

If you gave me the money, I would take delivery of one or two of these devices & wind it up. WhoTF are you to say that a professor of Engineering at MIT is suckering people?

NASA isn’t interested in a wonder energy device? I wonder why not... hmmm...

Bwhahaha - apparently you aren't familiar with the word "if!" Look it up. Read the article again. It's littered with that amazing qualifier.

They've had years now to answer the "if" question. They can't seem to do it. Looks like another glass jar of cold fusion water to me.

Wow, just two decades ago, the peer review process for respected journals was very painstaking and thorough. I have noticed a lot of new journals popping up that are not so well respected, and I wonder if that is where these are cropping up.

Yahhah, bawhahhahahah.... The same baloney applies to CHF, but it has pissed away hundreds of $billions of YOUR money based on the same “if”. Read all the CHF literature, it’s littered with that amazing qualifier.

They’ve had years now to answer the “if” question.
They can’t seem to do it.
***CHF Has had FAR more years and FAR more money and they gave you squat. The noble Cold Fusioneers have 3 researchers willing to sell YOU a LENR device RIGHT NOW.

Looks like another glass jar of cold fusion water to me.
***Looks like you simply DON’t KNOW what you’re talking about, even after the facts have been posted to you. Aggressive stupidity is not a good science approach.

***MFMP, who got a Celani wire (precisely as available to YOU right now) and promptly replicated excess heat and Gamma rays in an open source science project.

You tell me how you load up hydrogen onto a Nickel wire can produce gamma rays.

Hey, dummy, do you hear me arguing for more investment in hot fusion? It’s the sign of a truly delusional individual who makes the discussion about something else entirely. You sound like a mad man ranting about something I haven’t even brought up. Good luck with you cold fusion aspirations... Also with whatever med has been prescribed.
