Quite true, with no repetition (lots of it), it isn't science.
History has shown that if a discovery is legitimate, and not based on
either falsified or unintentionally distorted data, it can usually be
replicated fairly quickly by other researchers. "Fairly quickly", of
course, can be anything up to several years, depending on the complexity
of the experiment and the degree to which uncontrolled (and therefore
undocumented) conditions in the original affected the outcome.
I just don't trust Putterman and or Suslick to be the primary,
secondary, or tertiary investigators to vet this one.
Don't get me wrong Putterman and Suslick are great scientists in their
own right (really great stuff coming out of their labs,
I love the thing about the x-ray scotch tape) but there a hell of a
lot of history and bad blood on this particular family of experiments.
There must be a fresh group of researchers set to work on this one.
This time around I would like to see those two (or anyone from their
labs) held a million miles away.
They are the primary competitors in this bubble fusion race and as
such they want to quash any evidence of fusion until one or
the other of them get their own fusion ducks in a row.
I'm not familiar with the researchers specifically, but Purdue and RPI
are both very well-respected technical universities. Of course, they
have an interest in seeing themselves be the spot where this stuff comes
to fruition, but they also want to keep their reputations clean. So
there's a certain amount of tension between those two goals.
