that is plain ridiculous nonsense! Mainstream media is just just crying for
big science news, because they are selling a lot. For example there was
yesterday two stories in Finnish largest newspaper, where they studied the
sexual behavior of male fruit flies and that Icarus team reported the null
result of speeding neutrinos.
If someone is to present adequate and replicable proof of few hundred
milliwatts excess heat would be by far the most popular story in all news
servers and it would attract thousands of Facebook shares.
If Miley and Celani can present their findings in scientific terms, that
would of course break the news barrier globally.
