Jed, I am waiting for Mary to give an example. It is not your question.
Just in case someone were to scam your experiment, you have to realize
that there are no limits on what is acceptable. You would not be able
to set up the final experiment since that is part of the scam.
Sorry, I have confused the issue here. I did not mean that it is
impossible for a devious person to set up a bogus demonstration of a
fake x-ray. I meant that it is possible for an honest person to set up
an irrefutable demonstration of an x-ray, or the other items I listed.
An honest person could arrange a demonstration in such a way that no
valid technical objection could be raised.
By the way, when I said that the quantum levitation is irrefutable, I
did not mean that the YouTube video itself constitutes proof. A video
can always be faked. I meant that a live demonstration of that would be
irrefutable.
Some of these items, such as the laser, cannot be faked as far as I
know. When I first saw laser shining through a cloud of thermal fog in a
demonstration, it was obvious to me that this was no ordinary beam of
light. No ordinary beam of light can do what a laser does.
