Means nothing of course! There are plenty of students and professors laughing at the lunatics that think it is possible to create fusion in a jar. They haven't done the work, and they know nothing of the field. What else would one expect?
The purpose of this list is to explore these things with an open mind. That is not to say explore without serious factually or logically based criticism, but explore without ridicule, derision or ad hominem attacks.
If it makes the peanut gallery laugh, all the better. The world needs more humor! And, it needs more creative problem solving.
