Unfortunately, I don't think you can say 'scientist' without providing context. There is a wide gap between someone who has been primary author on peer reviewed papers in credible journals that have been cited by other peer reviewed scientists and someone who has not. Unfortunately, looking at

I honestly believe a serious scientist (even an unpublished one such as this guy) would never publish a serious, explosive document like this without massive caveats. If the caveats are in the paper, than I apologize, I don't read russian and there has been no good translation as of yet that I

Serious, explosive document? Too who? Too the few souls in the world who follow this? Replications will need to come from multiple sources before they are considered significant in any overall evaluation, but any positive replication is in essence positive. Further, so far I haven't seen any

I didn't say it was a negative development. You are clearly purposely misunderstanding my statements because you take an attack on this as an attack on you. You're just like a pseudo skeptic, only on the flip side. You're being a crank. My % evaluation is only silly because I'm the only one

As to the significance of the replication, it really depends on how well the test was performed, not the credentials of the tester. I suggest that be your method of evaluating the quality of the results. This is not how I do my analysis. Anyone can write reports and fudge numbers
