SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Dr. Randall Mills' theory regarding "hydrinos," a proposed state of hydrogen atoms that supposedly releases energy. Critics highlight the lack of empirical evidence supporting the existence of hydrinos, questioning why their energy signature has not been detected previously. Concerns are raised about the reproducibility of experimental claims and the potential motivations behind Blacklight Power's promotion of this theory, particularly in light of their financial struggles and lack of new developments.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics and atomic theory
  • Familiarity with energy states of atoms
  • Knowledge of scientific reproducibility and peer review processes
  • Awareness of the history of alternative energy claims
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of quantum mechanics related to atomic energy states
  • Study the scientific method and the importance of reproducibility in experiments
  • Investigate the history and claims of Blacklight Power and similar companies
  • Explore critiques of unconventional energy theories in scientific literature
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, energy researchers, investors in alternative energy, and anyone interested in the scientific evaluation of unconventional theories.

New theory Scientific revoloution or utter rubbish?

  • Brilliant, will solve all of our energy needs and change the world!

Pretty funny theory, since it has so many simple things "wrong" with it. Like... why hasn't anyone every noticed "hydrinos" before, since their signature energy should be so easy to detect? What do you do with a hydrino once you get one, since presumably they are no longer eligible for forming chemical bonds? etc. I always wonder when someone comes up with a theory that is so easily falsified... oh, and is accompanied by experimental claims that can't (won't) be reproducible.
 
.. and the fact that Randy himself hasn't experimentally seen the hydrino energy level.

We seem to have a FLOOD of this all of the sudden after some free advertisement that this thing received in the UK. Why is that? There has been no new progress being reported. There's nothing new that we don't know already out of this report. Is Blacklight trying to get new suckers... er... I mean new investors since they're slowly running out of money with nothing to show?

Zz.
