Wonder Why

5. It has yet to be fully peer reviewed and duplicated, as I understand.

There have been far too many scientists, in their rush to be first, to fudge a bit.

Of course, I believe in science. If it is proven, that is a great advancement. As a skeptic, I want to see it proven before I accept it as true. Otherwise, it is just a fraud, overoptimism or an unproven theory. There is nothing wrong with theories but that doesn't make them scientific fact.

I'm a retired engineer and came up with a method in 1972 to measure the rate of detonation in explosives that the so-called experts at Lawrence Radiation Labs and Sandia Labs said would probably not work so had not tried. I was required to prove it and I did. All I ask for is that other scientists acknowledge that the work is proven fact. In that way, I am a skeptic.
