It's a shame that it so far seems that this superconductor experiment was a bust, but even still, I'm happy to see the scientific process at work.
-
What, one failed experiment about 15 minutes after the paper was first published is sufficient grounds for declaring the technology a bust is it?
-
No but a previous history of making shit up and falsifying data along with a failure to replicate?
-
They don't have a history of making stuff up. Just because one group did doesn't automatically mean everyone else is. The probability that something is made up doesn't change just because somebody previously did or did not make something up.

Jeez you seem like you have some personal vendetta against this lab

-
For the last twenty-some years, yeah. Unfortunately. People love to hate on stuff.

Nope, but I'm leaning toward the side of caution. If the super-conductor is real it will be shown as such within a few weeks and will be revolutionary, and if not I'll be less disappointed if I've steeled myself to the possibility.
