Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around Dr. Randall Mills' theory regarding the release of energy from hydrogen atoms, specifically the concept of "hydrinos." Participants explore the implications of this theory, its experimental claims, and the broader context of Blacklight Power's activities.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express skepticism about the hydrino theory, questioning why such a phenomenon has not been observed previously if it is valid.
  • Concerns are raised regarding the implications of hydrinos on chemical bonding and the potential challenges in handling them.
  • There are doubts about the reproducibility of the experimental claims associated with the hydrino theory.
  • One participant notes a perceived increase in interest in the theory following media coverage, suggesting it may be linked to Blacklight Power's financial situation.
  • Another participant points out that Dr. Mills has not experimentally verified the existence of hydrino energy levels.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally express skepticism towards the hydrino theory and its experimental claims, indicating a lack of consensus on its validity and implications.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the absence of new experimental progress and the potential financial motivations behind the renewed interest in the hydrino concept.

New theory Scientific revoloution or utter rubbish?

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?
