The strength of science is skepticism

Can't wait for Bobbybroccoli's in depth look at this 'scandal'. Great round up Dr Miles. Well presented and straight to the point.

As a scientist, let me tell you this. If someone is refusing to hand over raw data, there is a reason for it.
The data presented by the authors is in several papers (very obviously) faked. Unfortunately, this is relatively common, and something that needs to impact their carrier the heavily.
(there is also a lot of papers which are wrong simply by chance, which is a completely different story)

How tf could any journal ever accept any paper from these guys ever again? Why do they keep their jobs?

In the early 90s I worked for Don Morris (Morris Research consisting of a dozen or so PHD's and master degree scientists) in Berkeley California whose goal was to create a room temperature superconductor. We made many samples using high temperature (1000C) high pressure (1000bar) sintering furnaces of Don's design. Although the company published many papers in scientific journals we were NEVER able to accomplish the ultimate goal.
As the only technician it was my job to construct and test the furnaces (30 of which were made and sold around the world) as well as providing technical assistance to the scientists working at the company. All this bla bla bla brings me to the salient point of my rant which is the manipulation of data as well as creating data out of thin air to satisfy the desired results of some of the scientists instead of transparently publishing the ACTUAL data. To my knowledge, Don was not aware of this back door science aspect of the research. The point is PHD is not a synonym for honest! Don't believe all that science tells you!!! Although most are honest there are those scientists who
place their own claims above all else.

What's most disturbing is that this type of high level, high profile fraud seems increasingly common in ANYTHING involving potential high investment opportunities

Excellent, thorough and impartial. Always a pleasure to watch your vids. I hope you do a vid on the meminductor

I liked that you went through the timeline of these events. It gave some very good perspective on this issues at hand. I didn't include it when I went over this topic but it was fascinating and to be honest mindboggling to read. I know other academics that really question how much someone needs to do while staying in the system. If this latest result is once again fraudulent then surely something should be done.

There was the same skepticism when Bednorz and Muller at the Zurich IBM Research Lab announced the first ceramic superconductor in 1987. However they provided research data for other labs to replicate their results. There is a long history of "room temperature superconductors", with nothing that is useful. I think these researchers are getting ahead of themselves.

Thanks for beating the skepticism and rigor drums, I've had vague concerns for a while now about science and media and you articulated it perfectly.

New to your channel, Dr. Ben, and I'm impressed. It cannot be over said that catching bad claims is THE feature of the Scientific Method and not a big.
Looking at you, Solar Roadways folks...

Conducting Super Fraud? Alternatively pun-based titles welcome below.

This happened in cancer clinical trials also. It's the dark side of humanity, even the brilliant ones. Best wishes

Thanks for the upload. I agree with everything you said. I just wish that hopeful scientists, if not knowingly scamming, could keep their discoveries secret for longer before jumping the gun. This is similar to the 1986 Martin and Henry case. Even if cold fusion never happened, a more modest approach could have immensely helped in securing funding for research in that area, instead of completely ridiculing and shutting it down

Thank you for great content. You earned yet another subscriber =)

Really good video describing the "issues" the claimants have for this breakthrough.

Who's here after seeing the LK99 discovery?

I like this. I get fed up of being told how wonderful science is, with the inference anything labelled "science" or "scientific" is something of a holy grail. This is why so many people compare religion with science. The ideals are all very well, but the scope for fraud, mistakes, narrow minded perceptions and in no small way, misinterpretation is enormous. Keep up the good work.

Making a room temperature superconductor is super easy, barely an inconvenience. I accidentally made one the other day using an electric induction coil and a cracked ceramic fireplace log. I'd show you the results, but I'm applying patents all over the place.
